Bobby Jindal Recalls 'Absolutely Awful' Speech

RealClearPolitics :

People have always told Bobby Jindal to slow down.

The Louisiana governor has a tendency to speak faster than his audience is able to think, so when it came time to deliver the Republican response to President Obama's first address to a joint session of Congress in 2009, the most important speech of Jindal's political life, he made sure to take it slow.

Bobby's got two things going for him that Romney likes:

He's just the right height and just the right color. Too bad they're both made out of wood.

If Jindal represents the top of the GOP pyramid, the pyramid must be very flat...

The GOP is fracking in search of "the one". Deep sea diving, mining, you get the picture.

First of all, this governor should not be using that phrase - "absolutely awful". Secondly, he should keep far from Willard. Jinny, Willard will trim your hair and deny, with a silly laugh, that he did.

As desperate as they are, I'm sure they'll attempt to use this token again in some way, although Jindel's terrible speech back then sent him off into media oblivion. As much as they continue to accuse Obama for getting the Black vote simply because he's African-American, they continue to do the same, insulting our intelligence by thinking women would vote for Palin, who was clearly not ready; the so-called "bold move" in 08 by McCain, and thinking Latinos are stupid by considering the young Cuban republican.

He has as much of a chance of becoming the far-right-wing VP as my old right shoe.

You must have a heckuva right shoe, Lizzy! Has it been vetted? If McCain had that information things might have gone better for him in 2008. Yea, I've prob had too much coffee....have a good day!

The DNC is still sore that they have never had a successful gubernatorial recall.....

Walkers primary turnout foretells the June race in Wis. and the left is pi$$ed.

Sorry Unions. Sorry Libs.

Another token minority GOP puppet. He'll be perfect for VP.

who could be better than Biden...... we sure are going to miss him being VP this January

ROTFLMAO @ you

Woody Jindal is the token person of color like Michael Steele was to the RNC when the first Black DEMOCRATIC president was elected. The GOP is fast becoming the party of "Me Too".

Jindal wrote a book which included the description of how he reformed Medicaid in Louisiana. Unfortunately for Jindal, he was never able to implement his plan so the book turns out to be a farce. Sure he would make a great VP.

Romney/Jindal, there's the ticket Saturday Night Live is pulling for!

Pee Wee Herman could play Jindal.

GOP was under the impression that just 'cause America elected a black man for President that Americans would accept any man of color. So they tried to give us Jindal, and Michael Steele but being that they are out of touch with reality they didn't realize Americans didn't elect BO because of his color of his skin but because he was so inspirational. (Also the fact that he looks GQ didn't hurt his tv coverage. )

he looked and sounded like a dork, but somehow the Republicans thought he would be perfect to give the GOP rebuttal to Obama's first SOTU speech...LOL loved it !

That's exactly what I said the first time I heard Jindal drone on (speak).

LOL, that rebuttal to Obama's SOTU was one of the worst speeches I've ever seen, and the Goopers have given plenty of horrible ones.

According to some on the extreme Right, Jindal can't be Prez or VP because his parents weren't US citizens when he was born.

[Weeweed Up]

As long as Jindal was born on American soil he's a citizen. If his parents' birthplace mattered, Romney wouldn't qualify either since his dad was born in Mexico.
