"Bobby" Jindal

[mick e]

mick e misinterpreted the discussion. He's sorry about that.

In the meantime do a Google search for the following phrase:
jindal kenneth "30 rock"

Lots of enjoyable reading will be had.

Some™ might wonder if you would feel differently if the hypothetical Mexican mother was also legally in the U.S. pursuing a grad degree as was Piyush's mother?

To me the point was that Jindal is the "new" Republican, the guy with the new ideas, the future of the party, and then he got up and presented the same old song, and in a singsong voice to boot. Bad policy speech delivered badly.

I think it's hard to project "smart" when you have the RNC hanging around your neck like a millstone.

Jindal's not a dork, though, and we will hear from him again.

Another "disappointed" voter who was sitting on the fence desperately wanting to be persuaded. It is always amusing to have to take advice from people who want nothing but your defeat. That sort of advice gave us McCain, and we know how that turned out. Next time we'll do it our way.

McCain was the GOP's best hope. A more conservative candidate would have been wiped out in a landslide.

Gutenberg votes on style points.

Jindal had a bad night, so what?

And Chris Matthews sounded like an idiot with his "Oh, God". He tried to tell us what he "really meant" by saying it was a comment on the dark hallway that Jindal emerged from and the curved stairs and chandelier behind him . It was the ante bellum Louisianna governor's mansion for cripes sake. What did expect, Frank Lloyd Wright? What a tool.

I would have felt exactly the same. Is there something about the word illegal that liberals don't understand?

Joaquin Phoenix had a bad night on Letterman the other night too.

: -)

Seriously - despite his performance there was no substance there. He took one for the team.

That's fabulous.

I work with someone who has met Jindal a number of times professionally, and she says he is a very intelligent man who shoehorns his beliefs onto his ideas -- which overrides his intelligence: for example, he believes in creationism. So while she respects his intelligence, she thinks he is quote: crazy :unquote.

Dakota, I don't think you understand political aficionados at all. We are not looking for a monolithic government, despite what you may believe and despite the fact that you probably would love a one-party system that was run by your party. A lot of us believe in the two-party system and would like to see the GOP put up a candidate for president that is intellectually superior to a Supermarionation puppet.
