Rachel: Jindal unavailable for comment because he's at Disney World today

[eleny]

Flee, Bobby, flee like the wind!

You know darned well his calendar was cleared today in hopes of many good interviews following his Republican reply of last night. But I guess when it went over like a lead balloon, he made new plans.

If he can't take this heat, he's not presidential material. Not at all.

[saltpoint]

1. Gone with the wind, as it were. That spiral staicase in the background,

the lilt of Southern propriety in his voice, the baseless assertions about Obama and the stimulus...

And then it's off to Disneyland.

[eleny]

3. IMO, they bundled the kids off so fast for this trip

I can just imagine them throwing stuff in suitcases yelling, "Hurry up, dammit! We're going to have fun!"

This shows him to be another Repuke weenie who can't face a defeat they created themselves.

[saltpoint]

7. LOL. Love your pack-em-up-fast scenario. Press conferences

and Republicans don't seem to go together much, do they.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

8. Was his speech prerecorded? If so, he was probably packed and on the road before Obama finished.

[eleny]

12. I was wondering about that last night

It seems reasonable that they'd want him to "do it live!" Just in case Obama slipped something in that they''d want to respond to.

But I agree with you. If it was taped, they were on their way as soon as they talked him down from the roof.

2. Did he take the the high speed train?

Or his magic carpet?

[eleny]

4. "...high speed train?" - I almost spit my soup...

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

5. Where else would you go

after giving a mickey-mouse speech like that?

[eleny]

9. Well, he's only made it worse now because he ran away

No way will I buy that it was planned in advance. He was ready for a day with the pundits lining up to kiss his ass.

6. Perfect SNL skit - hey Bobbie, you just blew the GOP response...where are you going?

"Big smile - I'm going to Disney World"..

Some skits just write themselves....

[itsrobert]

10. I don't know, he talks like a kiddie show host, fantasizes he is little Bobby Brady and hangs out

at theme parks. The profile of a child molester.

[eleny]

14. Honest to gawd, you can't make this stuff up

[Top Cat]

11. The GOP has him in hiding till the dust settles

[fujiyama]

13. Maddow's expression after the speech was absolutely priceless

Here's the youtube clip. Check it out:

[eleny]

15. I remember that. She can be priceless

Honesty can have that effect. :D

[Cha]

16. Did not I read he was

hatin' on the "train to Disneyland" in his speech?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

17. Only because he heard it was going from Las Vegas to Disneyland.

He wanted it to go from Louisiana and DisneyWORLD.

[Cha]

21. Such a blatant selfish sob. The

rest of the country can go to hell as far as he's concerned as long as he pretends to care about Louisiana with his mixed signals.

[eleny]

19. LOL!

[BlooInBloo]

18. hahaha! Sounds like the Godfather - when they sent Micahel to Sicily for awhile.

:rofl:

[eleny]

20. Good one!

I can see the suitcases with the clothes sticking out flapping as they fled the mansion.

The cartoons in the days ahead will be outstanding.

[zulchzulu]

22. I heard he was applying for the Dumbo gig, bit this is ridiculous

:rofl:

[gmoney]

23. "Hey Bobby, you just botched the Republican Response, whatcha doing now?"

"I'm going to Disneyland!"

[Hepburn]

24. Well, maybe while he is there he should get an employment application?

He is Mickey Mouse enough to fit right in! :hi:
