Jindal chose to re-name himself "Bobby" inspired by the sitcom character Bobby Brady after watching

The Brady Bunch television series.

:rofl:

I knew that "speech" reminded me of something!

[PretzelWarrior]

1. he was hanging from the swing set right before TV appearance

so he could appear taller.

4. And then

he swiped his brother's new coat and tie that he was saving for the big dance and BOY was Greg ever steamed!

[beac]

2. I think the nickname story stinks to high heaven.

I find it HARD to believe that his parents and everyone else would agree to start calling him "Bobby" always and evermore just because he asked them to as a four-year-old.

5. Apparently- that's the family lore!

I will note though that I have several Indian friends who use simple names like "Sam" because their given names are a bit difficult for Americans to pronounce.

9. I also have an Indian friend who goes by "Andy"

3. A reason to like him.

Finally.

6. Well this leaves him wide open for the "WHERES THE BIRTH CIRTIFICUT??22???" scenario

Because there ain't a piece of paper anywhere on earth that says Bobby Jindal was born in the US, since no such person legally exists.

Stupid? Of course. But if DIEBOLD manages to steal another election (and that's the only way this asshat is going to beat Obama) then I would use this, and any other dirty Freeper trick I could steal from them.

7. And what stupid choices did YOU make when YOU were four years old?

[jberryhill]

10. You mean, aside from the crack cocaine, hookers and gambling?

8. Bobby Brady (Mike Lookinland) read his lines a lot better.

Piyush sucked bong water. Gods, that was a horrible "speech." He sounded completely whacked out on Valium and box wine. (My apologies to Stephanie Miller. I know Momma loves her boxed wine!)
