13. Could Jindal sound any more like Howdy Doody?
Or maybe he sounds more like Lester, from Willie Tyler and Lester.

I can't put my finger on exactly who he sounds like, but I know a stiff, low-budget puppet when I hear one...

14. The opposition websites are screaming bloody murder over that.
We need to be vigilant. MSNBC has been known to bow to RW pressure before, (remember the GOP convention when they were pressured to replace KO and Matthews.)

15. I've been around the world and through 20 states, and Jindels Dialect is bogus
I grew up in Hollywood, and I was a big fan a dialect. Everywhere I went, I paid particular attention to the nuances and mannerisms of the local dialect, and I learned how to replicate some of the nuances of the vernacular for fun and profit.

Listening to Jindel, I can't place it. It is somewhere in between texan southern, and some heretorfore unknown speche impediment. All the while he's spouting off on Republican talking points, which leads me to believe that he has had a dialect coach that didn't give him enough homework and practice.

The guy is a total phony, and even the Faux News Cheerleaders threw him under the bus for it.

I tried to watch the full video on MSNBC, but it was too painful and disturbing to watch, while I was transfixed for the entire Congressional Speech given by Obama. Obama actually established the scope of the problem, and was able to articulate clearly and concisely enough to allow me to spend an hour of my life watching a politician.

Jindel on the other hand, is a Poseur Gigantique. I was infuriated when he relate the story of the Lousiana sheriff encouraging people to violate regulations.. What about the people that were shot crossing barricades? Hey Jindel, we knew your guy Bush was Fascist, why do you need to remind us?

The Republicans got smeared all over the chamber hall. It was magnificent. Obama, I love you, I just hope you can keep the Blue Dogs in line.

17. I can't believe I took the time to listen to the Repug response.
I did not get to watch on the tube, but I instead listened to NPR. Jindal sounded like he was trying to be "warm and fuzzy". Its almost like, "hi, I'm the repug governor giving the response, but I don't have a clue". And you know what? He doesn't. And what makes me sick is the fact there are people in his state who need their unemployment benefits, but he does not want to help these people. How discusting. He should be run out on the next train.

23. The contrast between Obama and Jindal was dramatic.
Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 08:26 AM by olegramps
With little doubt, Obama was spectacularly impressive. How refreshing to have as a president a person who is intelligent and articulate. The contrast between what we have been shouldered with over the last eight years could only not be welcomed by a jerk like Jendal. The Republicans have been indelibly cast as obstructionists enemies of the working class. Jindal was not only ineffective, but absolutely asinine.

I'm surprised that he didn't read stage directions off the teleprompter.

42. Source: Matthews says 'Oh God' before Jindal spoke
NEW YORK – MSNBC's Chris Matthews quietly uttered "Oh God" as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal prepared to give the Republican Party response to President Barack Obama's speech to Congress.

An NBC executive, who requested anonymity because the network is still looking into the matter, named Matthews as the one who made the live mike slip — it was so quiet most listeners wouldn't be able to identify the speaker.

39. "Oh God!" was exactly my response when Jindal came on screen
But mine was louder and said with more disgust, which is probably why I missed it when Tweety said it. Thanks for posting this.

40. Simply put...
Jindal is not ready for prime time. Could he have been any more stiff and lifeless? Maybe he just got done performing an exorcism and is tired? :shrug:
