Booby is also trying a do-over with Hannity today, who just referred to him as a "brilliant, brilliant communicator." :rofl:
Limbaugh still loves Jindal

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday defended Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s widely panned performance Tuesday night in the GOP’s response to President Barack Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
“I love Bobby Jindal, and that did not change after last night,” Limbaugh, a longtime fan of the governor, said. “Nothing that happened last night changed my mind.”
Jindal, who is often cited as a rising GOP star and potential Republican challenger to Obama in 2012, was criticized for his presentation, which National Public Radio’s Juan Williams called “childish” and “sing-songy” on the Fox News’ panel immediately after the governor’s remarks. In other media outlets, Jindal’s speech has drawn comparison to Mr. Rodgers and Kenneth the intern from NBC’s “30 Rock.”
“Everybody trashed Bobby Jindal,” Limbaugh said. “I never heard the media, both sides, conservative and liberal, dump on a response like they did last night.”
Limbaugh conceded that Jindal did not compete with Obama “stylistically,” but he said the Louisiana governor shined in the substance of his speech and his advocacy for conservative principles.
“All he did was articulate what we believe. All he did was articulate opposition to Obama,” Limbaugh said. “The people on our side are making a real mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal.”
“We cannot shun politicians who speak for our beliefs just because we don’t like the way he says it,” he added.
