Jindal taken apart by Kenneth the Page

The latest bit of GOP victimhood warming up on the blogs seems to be Matthews’ use of the word “outsourced” in relation to Jindal’s response. They claim that it’s mocking his Indian heritage.
I can’t remember if I picked up on that while hearing the response to the response or not.
It might have been better to simply say the GOP is desperately looking for someone who hasn’t had their PR glossiness wilted away in the spotlight.
-
Jindal is not going to get anywhere. I doubt he even gets the nomination, and if he gets that, there’s no way he’s two-bit idiocy could take on Obama. I really think the next GOP nominee will not have a southern accent.

“Re: Jindal, keep in mind Locke gave a sh%t response in 03, and Clinton did as well in 88.”
Locke’s response was apparently good enough to get the wingers to send lots of death threats to his family. That’s at least one major reason he dropped off the map until now.

“What kind of games could you play with Obama? Hope-change?”
Check on the NYT interactive feature to calibrate future drinking games.
Oddly enough, hope and change were almost never mentioned.
-
Also, I didn’t realize that Jindal sounded like a Tracey Jordan (30 Rock) impersonation of the mountain-folk page Kenneth.

Oh, and apparently even Fox was luke-warm on the Jindal response. D’oh.
-
Also, it was so exciting last night. It’s been over 7 years since I’ve watched a presidential address. I’d almost forgotten what it was like and this time, I actually didn’t throw things at the tv.
-
I noticed that as well odin regarding the “cold war weapons”. His appointment of the Harvard expert really caught them off guard.
Now, regarding Nancy sitting behind President Obama. That was an extremely poor choice of outfits for her last night. We watched on CSpan and the way the camera was angled, all we could see was two giant boobs right over and to the right of Obama’s head. Not cool camera people…not cool.
-
Also, note Obama’s moment in the speech about using “Cold War weapons.”
The substance behind that tidbit is that he just posted a new Undersecretary for Acquisition (DoD weapons director).
This is going to hit some people I know a bit close to home, but I think it is necessary to make some serious reassessments of our national needs in this area:

Palin/Jindal.. well I guess we know who would be wearing the pants in that relationship ~wink~ you betcha
-
Dante’s Peak is in the upper most echelon of great movies.
-
Wouldn’t really make a difference. He’s a creationist don’t ya know. Science is just bothersome.
-
So, I kind of feel that if/when Bobby and Sarah run together… the campaign will go something like this: “Vote Against Literacy! Jindal/Palin 2012!!!”
Sweet Lord.

“Bobby Jindal apparently believes it‚Äôs appropriate to address the citizens of the United States in a tone that suggests we‚Äôre all nine years old.
UPDATE: What‚Äôs with the attack on ‚Äúsomething called ‚Äòvolcano monitoring‚Äô‚Äù? Volcano monitoring is where they monitor volcanos. So as to better understand, better predict, and better prepare for natural disasters. Is that so complicated? Are only hurricanes worth responding to?”
Someone needs to show Bobby Jindal the classic movie Dante’s Peak.
-
Love Ya IRe mean it, but there is simply no way to “butch” him up with knot in a tie my friend..
-
Also, he needs to f%ck the four in hand and go with a half windsor (maybe a tight windsor knot). The FIH just is not imposing and he’s scrawny enough that he needs to have a bold and assertive knot to make him more intimidating.
-
+1 on Bobby’s Sing Song Hour and America Bed Time Story Show.
Loved the soft shoulders on Biden’s suit.
Jindal needs a darted jacket so he doesn’t look like the cloth is swallowing him
-
Oh my GOD MAKE BOBBY JINDAL STOP SPEAKING.
-
Biden is a snappy dresser.
Always has been.
-
The fit of Biden’s suit was perfect. I expect bespoke.
Glad to see the pocket square is getting some love.
-
Well 4 additional. I assume Paul and Kucinich have ones that would sink the Titanic.
-
Not enough applause to cutting the military budget. There was like 6 people out there who clapped, and 2 of ’em you know were Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich so we have 4 members of Congress with balls.
-
He see’s it as a badge of honor.. I should post the poster that hung outside his office after the 2006 election.
Joe L looks bumming too..
-
They booed at “free of earmarks” which was kind of wrong actually.
-
I mean whether I agree or disagree I’m not going to get caught on a camera sitting and talking to my buddy on a CNN camera while everyone else is applauding and yelling and standing
-
He’s referred to as Mighty Mouse on this blog
-
I just realized who that idiot in the back who never stands is, my ex congressman tom price. He’s actually talking during hte speech too
-
Zaid, that was 5 years into his term and he’d really stepped on himself by them.
I doubt we’ll see that this year.
-
I hope there is booing-hissing. Not because I’d personally boo-hiss but because it was hilarious when the Dems. did it to Bush over social security in 2005.
-
clap for michelle? lol
-
DFI report:
Michelle in a sleeveless dress color is eggplant, not a typical choice.
Nancy in a sweater, again not your average choice. I’ve noticed Nancy is way off her game since the inauguration.. Armani must be on the outs.
HRC is Lilly Pulitzer hot pink! Zeeoha.
I predict Saint John knits takes a stock hit tomorrow.

With Bush you could do all sorts of games with how many times he says freedom.
What kind of games could you play with Obama? Hope-change?
