Bobby Jindal’s Fake-SOTU Response: Can You Feel It?

by Jim Newell  

This ad and another one like it have apparently been plastering the conservative Internets today in the Louisiana Governor’s latest “viral marketing” move for his nascent 2012 presidential campaign. Jindal will be delivering the response to Barack Obama’s make-believe State of the Union address tonight, so this is basically his big national debutante ball, and he will have to put out for someone. This is good news… for John McCain. [Town Hall]

Maybe if he’s the gop nominee 2012 will be a slightly less racist year?
Haha, what a nice fantasy. The republicans won’t nominate a brown for perznit.

Good old GOP, always sending their viruses around. Bobby Jindal, an STD of the worst kind.

Mr Blifil February 24, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Damn that picture makes him look pretty hip-hop. Microphone CHECK!

I am hoping that he will speak in tongues. Or at least accidentally utter some Hindi. It would also be fun if he became so nervous that he forgot to wear pants. He’s also got to try some sneaky underhanded shit to attempt to rob Obama of mojo. He’ll probably do that part real good.

SayItWithWookies February 24, 2009 at 4:24 pm

Earlier today, I noted how tonight’s response to President Obama’s speech could be a coming-out party for Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal.
Coming out? Well that explains the resemblance.

JSDC007 February 24, 2009 at 4:27 pm

While we all know he’s too ugly for Bollywood, no one’s going to watch him unless he dances out his response Bollywood style.

There just has to be a dance routine for “I’m against your money, but I’m a political ho and I’ll take it anyways.” Jai-HO!

Texan Bulldoggette February 24, 2009 at 4:30 pm

Hate to break it to Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, but after 4/8 years of black Berry, the racists, bitterz & crazy fundies from the Republican party ain’t electing a brown guy. They gotta regain their bearings by electing someone white & comforting.

Joshua Norton February 24, 2009 at 4:31 pm

I wish we could get a moratorium on presidential wanna-be’s for at least the next 365 days. Now we’re suddenly being exposed to the next wingnut Presidential election cycle and their “Can You Out-Batshit This” game without enough time to get a new Hazmat suit.

IceCreamEmpress February 24, 2009 at 4:38 pm

Here’s the thing the Republican’ts don’t get–he’s the wrong kind of loony God-botherer. A Hindu-turned-Catholic doesn’t count as “Christian” with the wingnut base.

But they can keep hyping him and I will laff and laff. SHUT YO’ MOUTH! I’m just talkin’ ’bout Steele! THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

Tra February 24, 2009 at 4:39 pm

You know, I heard Sen. Schumer is positing that the governors trying to turn down a token part of the stimulus package to kick-start their eventual presidential campaigns can’t actually do that — they have to either take the whole deal, or turn it all down.

I am hoping, oh so hopefully, that the White House jumps on this so Bobby Jindal and the rest end up looking like the grandstanding opportunists that they are. It would be … so beautiful.

The only thing that makes me hesitate is the possibility that a few of them might just be crazy enough to refuse the whole thing.

Rev. Peter Lemonjello February 24, 2009 at 4:40 pm

I heard the money shot of the response is when Jindal holds down Ruth Bader Ginsburg, delivering a thorough exorcism/date raping with the aid of Chip Pickering and Sam Brownback.

assistant/atlas February 24, 2009 at 4:42 pm

Is it just me or is he a really creepy-looking dude? Like, I’m-gonna-smile-while-I-kill-your-children creepy.

Also, “Bobby”? Fuck you, Piyush, we had to deal with Republicans talking about HUSSEIN for like a year, so I do not recognize your made-up American name. Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it, Piyush? Of course, you wouldn’t know because you dumped your original G-ds to worship a Prada-wearing, rat-faced Nazi.

I don’t think I care for this Jindal person.

digibal235 February 24, 2009 at 4:45 pm

I’ve lived in Louisiana my entire life. Jindal is a shockingly non-functioning bureaucrat. He was given his first job by a dubious governor (Mike Foster), given his second by the same dubious governor, even though he was totally and completely unqualified for both. Then the dubious governor chose him to run as his replacement, Jindal lost. Then moved 60 miles away so he could run for the congressional seat David “Diaper-fucker” Vitter vacated to run for Senate (a totally Republican district). Then he narrowly defeated the incumbent governor, after she killed 1200 people in New Orleans with a hurricane.

His first name is Piyush and he didn’t convert to Christianity until high school. And in the relativly short time between high school and now, he’s really taken Christianity and ran with it.

He’s so friggin’ lucky, and not really capable. If he wasn’t so brown, I’d swear to Christ he was a leprechaun.

Monsieur Grumpe February 24, 2009 at 4:45 pm

Bobby is going to lay his hands on the TeeVee while Obama is talking so he can cast out those liberal demons. Imagine what horrors will be released if he has it on FOX.

Come here a minute February 24, 2009 at 4:47 pm

Obama’s response: STFU.

Cicada February 24, 2009 at 4:48 pm

At last the Republican party is embracing it’s core values of converting the heathens to Christianity and exorcism!

totoro February 24, 2009 at 4:58 pm

So I hear he’s going live to explain why his state, which happens to include the booming economic powerhouses of Shreveport and other garden spots, oh, and New Orleans, don’t need no tainted stimulus money. Maybe if Obama put the money down on the counter first and then let him pick it up he might be OK with it.

Tra, in his talk tonight, Obama should give this clown and his like exactly 10 minutes to IM him and accept the whole package or he’ll get instead a package of string and hotdogs to catch crayfish in the bayou.

gjdodger February 24, 2009 at 4:59 pm

I’m disgusted by you racists. In fact, I am standing here beside myself.

jagorev February 24, 2009 at 5:09 pm

But which exotic foreign impostor will America choose to sleep with tonight? Ha ha, just kidding, obviously America will go home with the rich old white guy (John McCain).

Can’t Jindal just sacrifice a camel or something and exorcise the zombie loans out of the banking system?

Mustang February 24, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Wow. When you read that Town Hall blog, you almost feel sorry for the Rs. Here’s this guy talking up all the possible 2012 candidates, each of whom is a train wreck in his or her own special way and he’s sounding all gleeful, like a mother of a pregnant teenager trying to put a spin on the situation. “Oh yes! It’s so wonderful! Our first grandchild! We’ve fixed up a room for Shauna and her “fiance! and the baby!”

sarcasticusername February 24, 2009 at 5:23 pm

i guess calling him a secret muslin fake president communist would have been too much for the preview, you’ve got to give the crazies something to look forward to when they tune in for the real thing. i wish they’d gotten alan keyes to do it; his preview last week was awesome, he’d surely have knocked it out of the park tonight.

masterdebater February 24, 2009 at 5:26 pm

I’m not making this up. This guy looks just like the Indian dude who used to sell weed to my brothers and me when we were kids. If it reaaly was him, he would have my vote.

sarahconnor February 24, 2009 at 5:26 pm

Gah, i really thought Jindal was some kind of creole name, like Andouille or something. I had no idea he was a Bengali, in platforms…

ToeCramps February 24, 2009 at 5:28 pm

Who is this 3rd world child? Looks like he’s been living on 7 cents a day! This aging, poor, grain eating kid could surely benefit from any kind of stimulus!

Chi-town_Vinny February 24, 2009 at 5:28 pm

As Jon Stewart said last night: “Are my balls so precious they cannot be cupped by sawdust covered, callused man hands? That would be truly elitist.”

[re=250583]IceCreamEmpress[/re]: Whether or not he worships Rama with incense and prayer bells and flower petals, the Xian right will accept him as the new Messiah if their preacher says so.

Problem for the Repugs is that the last two elections demonstrated that ain’t enough.

When does the campaign to force him to pass his birth certificate around so everyone can look at the original or he isn’t an American.

Democrats are Democrat and will always play nice. The fun part will be watching what Bible Spice, that boring guy from Minnesota and whatever other wingnut the Repugs come up with will do to Jindal.

Really fun part? When Bubba has to suck the Steele/Jindal party pics.

IceCreamEmpress February 24, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Honeychile, Bobby Jindal is the curry kind of Indian, not the tomahawk kind of Indian.

JSDC007 February 24, 2009 at 6:11 pm

[re=250580]suchsweetthunder[/re]: Hon, while that used to be true (pudgy men, hair don’ts), it no longer is. Erego, Jindal still couldn’t make it in Bollywood. But “24″ may be looking for someone to play a brown.

IceCreamEmpress February 24, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Whether or not he worships Rama with incense and prayer bells and flower petals, the Xian right will accept him as the new Messiah if their preacher says so.

The preacher is not going to say so, because the preacher thinks that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon and that Hindus are crazed zealots who martyr innocent converts by the lakh.

This is where the Republican’t plan fails. Yes, Jindal got elected in Lousiana, but that’s a majority-Catholic state.

[re=250595]digibal235[/re]: “His first name is Piyush and he didn’t convert to Christianity until high school.”

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love knowing this. Who’ll be the first reporter to ask him if he liked “Slumdog?”

DustBowlBlues February 24, 2009 at 6:20 pm

[re=250626]jagorev[/re]: And I thought that little dude from Lagaan was pretty cute. If you include Mira Nair’s movies, just about the entire cast was good looking in Monsoon Wedding.

I wish there were a guide to Bollywood that would help me navigate through the really crappy ones, That is, a guide to the films accessible to westerners.

If Jindal was Hindu and changed, then screw him. BTW–Does he speak Hindi?

Scarab February 24, 2009 at 6:31 pm

Afterwards stay tuned for Sarah Palin’s response to Bobby Jindal being given the official GOP response.

DustBowlBlues February 24, 2009 at 6:34 pm

[re=250713]IceCreamEmpress[/re]: In that case, go Jindal in 2012 and suck on that, evangelicals. Time for them to just go form their own party. Maybe he’s turning down the unemployment money because he expects jobless people to go beg, like they do in India.

True story; I came out of the sound and light show at the Red Fort and fought my way through the beggars to get to the car that was taking my daughter and me to the Delhi airport. I found some rupees in my pocket and didn’t want to leave the country with them, so I raced through the thinning crowd, put them into the hand of a young man on crutches because his leg had been amputated then raced back to the car before the beggars could get me. The evil “orphanage” in Slumdog was true.

Also true story: There were no lights in the squat toilets at the Red Fort and my daughter and I were very reluctant to walk into a completely dark room with a toilet in the floor. Outside, we found a pretty out of the way spot on the grounds of the Red Fort, pulled down our pants and pee-ed.

I wonder if Piyush knows how to use a squat toilet–it’s nice as easy as it sounds. Who’ll ask him these important questions?

Can I PLEASE do the next verse of my EPIC homage to Rudyard K.:

GUNGA JINDAL?

[Verse the Second]

“The blue suit that he wore,
Was cardboard at the core,
And his flag lapel pin was by Chinee made.
With microphone in hand, he was waving on the band
Of PUMAs, Right-Wingnuts and all The Saved!

Jindal! Jindal! Jindal! What the HELL you doing now?
Do you REALLY play to try for higher office?
McCain went down in FLAMES! We’ve no time for suttee games!
Your Presidential dream will end in ASHES!”

Neilist February 24, 2009 at 8:06 pm

“PLAN to try for higher office?”

Sorry. When the Erato hits, one can’t pay too much attention to typos.

Or the poetic foot.

Or . . . .
