You realize that if Sarah Palin had said what Jindal said, in EXACTLY the manner he said it...

[Bicoastal]

...male Republican pundits would be falling over themselves to call it a brilliant, captivating, history-making speech? And yes, that includes the "Happy Mardi Gras" part and the slam at "Volcano monitoring."

Jindal obviously failed to realize that only one Republican in the party can get away with that toxic level of smarm and folksiness and not be subject to inter-party criticism--and it's not some dude with dark skin.

Is there someway Oxford can take it all back for the recipient being that much of a twit?

11. I thought that ReRushicans considered Rhodes Scholars "intellectual"

and treasonous?

3. I don't know, did "Bobby Brady Bunch" Jindal wink?

I didn't see his response, but wonder if he winked. Doing so might have resulted in more positive reviews.

4. Apparently they expect their women to talk like gibbering retards,

but for men to do that, well, that's just laughable.

6. In all fairness, she wouldn't...

Granted, Palin is a train wreck when it comes to providing her own responses to a question, or speaking extemporaneously, but nobody should question her ability to deliver a speech from a teleprompter.

7. If Palin burps, the GOP swoons. n/t

[TheCoxwain]

8. And if she farts ?

I guess they scream .. "What amazing perfume!!!"

10. 100% Correct

They'd be falling all over themselves talking about Sarah Palin's improved speach-making.
