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

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]

  1. 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.

  2. WHAT IZ DIS WORLD COMIN TOO? A FOREEN IMPOSTER PREZ BEIN COMMENTED ON BY A FOREEN IMPOSTER GOV. AMERICA AINT AMERICA NOS MORE

  3. Too Lazy To Sign In says at 4:23 pm, February 24th, 2009

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

  4. Mr Blifil says at 4:23 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  5. SayItWithWookies says at 4:24 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  6. 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!

  7. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:30 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  8. Joshua Norton says at 4:31 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  9. I want to see Slumdog’s birth certificate.

  10. snideinplainsight says at 4:33 pm, February 24th, 2009

    G_d, I’ve been waiting all day to say “oogedy-boogedy”! Alright, already!

    Still a muzlin.

  13. suchsweetthunder says at 4:38 pm, February 24th, 2009

    JSDC007: Sorry to disappoint, but only women are hot in Bollywood movies. It’s like Maine.

  14. IceCreamEmpress says at 4:38 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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!

  15. 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.

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

    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.

  17. assistant/atlas says at 4:42 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  18. digibal235 says at 4:45 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  19. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:45 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  20. Come here a minute says at 4:47 pm, February 24th, 2009

    Obama’s response: STFU.

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

  22. 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.

  23. gjdodger says at 4:59 pm, February 24th, 2009

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

  24. 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).

  25. suchsweetthunder: How dare you insult the hotness of Salman Khan. You are dead to me.

  26. chascates says at 5:12 pm, February 24th, 2009

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

  27. 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!”

  28. sarahconnor says at 5:17 pm, February 24th, 2009

    digibal235: as in, “Piyush, Piyush, in the Bush?”

  29. sarcasticusername says at 5:23 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  30. masterdebater says at 5:26 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  31. sarahconnor says at 5:26 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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…

  32. ToeCramps says at 5:28 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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!

  33. Chi-town_Vinny says at 5:28 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.”

    (I guess you had to see it).

    TeddyS: and then I want to declare it a fake.

  35. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:31 pm, February 24th, 2009

    Pic looks like Disco Jimbal wondering what happened to the mirror ball….dancing to “I doan’ wannit, but I’ll take mosta it….”

  36. TeddyS: I hear it doesn’t even say “Bobby” on it. Can we even be sure it’s his? Who is this, guy, really? Do we know anything about who he really is?

  37. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:50 pm, February 24th, 2009

    Is he the only muslin who wasn’t in Slumdog Millionaire?

  38. Mitchbailey says at 6:03 pm, February 24th, 2009

    An African-American versus a Native-American…now all we need is a descendent of a Chinese laundryman to totally expiate our white guilt and shame.

  39. DustBowlBlues says at 6:08 pm, February 24th, 2009

    IceCreamEmpress: 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.

  40. IceCreamEmpress says at 6:09 pm, February 24th, 2009

    An African-American versus a Native-American

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

  41. chascates says at 6:10 pm, February 24th, 2009

    digibal235: Yikes! Was he Hindu, Muslin or Bahai?

  42. suchsweetthunder: 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.

  43. IceCreamEmpress says at 6:11 pm, February 24th, 2009

    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.

  44. DustBowlBlues says at 6:12 pm, February 24th, 2009

    digibal235: “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?”

  45. DustBowlBlues says at 6:20 pm, February 24th, 2009

    jagorev: 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?

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

  47. DustBowlBlues says at 6:34 pm, February 24th, 2009

    IceCreamEmpress: 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?

  48. gjdodger says at 7:03 pm, February 24th, 2009

    Does he know who the third Musketeer was?

  49. Any chance we can get a group of people to break in during his speech and start shouting “A-PU, A-PU, A-PU”?

  50. Red Zeppelin says at 7:27 pm, February 24th, 2009

    J-Man: I am so there with a Slushie and week old hot dog.

  51. american mutt says at 7:35 pm, February 24th, 2009

    If there’s one thing the GOP will learn after years of Obama is that they want more muslim foreigners for president.

  52. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 7:56 pm, February 24th, 2009

    lazyb: Yes. Who is the REAL Bobby Jindal?

  53. 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!”

  54. “PLAN to try for higher office?”

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

    Or rhyme.

    Or the poetic foot.

    Or . . . .

  55. Texan Bulldoggette says at 8:11 pm, February 24th, 2009

    June Cleaver 2.0: And when can we see his birth certificate because he looks like a furreigner to me. I can’t wait until Palin’s crew gets a hold of him in 2012.

  56. NunnaTheSOBs says at 8:15 pm, February 24th, 2009

    Maybe George Allen can
    introduce him, along
    with Michael Steele
    as the “lovable macaca
    and the (semi)magic
    negro”….
    Love that Big Tent !

    Bobby Jindaloo will grab that stimulus money with all eight hands.

  60. recharged95 says at 8:43 pm, February 24th, 2009

    Come guys, GOP’s riding on the heels of the Oscars. It’s feel good time!

    We all know the GOP will split into 2 and the Whigs will rise from the grave. Woohoo!

    Then again, we all know the neowhigs will form soon after.

  61. IceCreamEmpress says at 10:04 pm, February 24th, 2009

    We all know the GOP will split into 2 and the Whigs will rise from the grave.

    Looks to me like they’re bringing back the Know-Nothing Party first.

    And maybe the Bull Moose Party.

  62. Oh, lulli Piyush! Maati mili, jharoo phirri, bhenchod!

  63. None of you fuckwads appreciate my classical Punjabi invective. And, after all the effort I put in at the DLI in Monterey! What’s the point, Goddamnit, what’s the point? I’m going to go to spook oblivion… See you all, you ungrateful wretches, as you watch my body float to the surface of the the Reflection Pond. I’m not serving this Empire any longer!
