Wonkette
The best part of this speech (parts one, two, and three) was definitely when Obama started making jokes about Joe Biden, which is how he “deals” with Joe Biden. (”I have no idea who this insane Delaware hustler is, always following me around, ha ha!” etc.) Otherwise we’ve heard a lot about working on green technology, health care, and education, but very little about new Weaponry. How are we to go about the business of Warring? MORE ERIC CANTOR.
10:05 — More. Eric… CANTOR.
10:07 — Well there, he’s done, he says Americans are great and we’ll get through this. Hooray for us!
10:08 — Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper, they’re already talking. “This was a different speech, Anderson.”
10:09 — John King says, “a very calculated political move by the President.” These guys are so cynical.
10:11 — David Gergen: “The first half of this speech was FDR.” The second half was somewhere between Millard Fillmore and Gerald Ford (a.k.a. the best second half in history.)
10:12 — Jennifer Yellin saw some people Twittering during the speech. God, the Villagers love Twitter so much.
10:14 — LOOK OUT DENBY, Jake Tapper is being “snarky” on his Twitter! “pelosi is jumping up and down like it’s calisthetics. hastert didnt get up this much during the course of a week.” Ha ha because he was one of the Fats.
10:16 — Obama is signing autographs for Dennis Kucinich and talking about his golf game. WHEN DO WE HEAR JINDAL’S MAGICAL STORY? Ken says that he’s speaking from a plantation!
10:18 — So how was the speech, for those of you who weren’t compulsively typing? Let’s have a Facebook Poll. Go on Facebook and vote, there’s a poll there or some shit.
10:19 — Silver ice goblin Anderson Cooper says the CNN team will be there “through midnight,” maybe to talk about, what, the Octo-Mom? (Hey what is that even about, we haven’t been paying attention. She had a lot of babies or whatever from in-vitro? Ah. Good story. FINE TALE, indeed.)
10:22 — We’ll be hearing from the “CNN Money Team” soon, Anderson says. Does ERIC CANTOR play for that team? Otherwise, bomb them.
10:24 — JINDAL!!!!!!!!!!
10:24 — He just walks up to the mic on his Plantation and starts jabbering. “THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A SHOW HUH FROM OBAMA?” OMG he sounds like Walnuts!
10:25 — Mentions Obama’s famous back story, of being from Kenya. Then he’s like, “I am more foreign though.”
10:26 — He is basically Bull Connor.
10:27 — “Mah daddy had those health care bills but he didn’t miss any health care payments haw haw haw yes’m haw haw.”
10:28 — Bobby Jindal performs his new off-Broadway one-act, “Me & The Wacky Sheriff.”
10:28 — Not Bull Connor — Don Knotts. “This sheriff wouldn’t listen to me so I says, WAHHHH SHERIFF WAHH?”
10:29 — So he killed the wacky sheriff. How about this stimulus package, anyway? He doesn’t like it!
10:30 — This speech is equal parts Goofy and Eeyore. He mentions that the Democrats are spending money on volcano research (?) and that, big kicker here, they should RESEARCH THEIR OWN VOLCANO, IN THE CONGRESS. Yip yip yip yip.
10:31 — But we shouldn’t be partisan, a-yuck.
10:32 — He has shards of rabbit bone in the back of his mouth, that is the only explanation.
10:33 — He says he can fix health care in like two minutes with 20 cents and some home-cooked grits!
10:33 — Once there was this great offensive joke in Louisiana, and now people can’t say it because of the hurricane.
10:34 — Admits that his party is completely untrustworthy. But trust him: that was pre-Jindal.
10:35 — Again, this speech is just the screenplay to The Apple Dumpling Gang but with modern words.
10:36 — He’s done, by golly! UHH he forgot the Exorcism story, which is kind of important. WHERE IS CANDY CROWLEY? We need her or someone else to tell us what we think about Bobby Jindal.
10:38 — OH YES, we couldn’t quite figure it out in “real time,” but tipster Sean has the latest development on the mysterious case that is Bobby Jindal’s voice: “Kenneth from 30 Rock. But a little more simple.” Getting closer by the second…
10:40 — Anyone else notice what fancy-eared operative “Taylor” noticed?: “Got to love the audible ‘Oh, God,’ on MSNBC as Jindal walked out.” That could only have been Chris Matthews, who inexplicably hates Jindal’s very soul.
10:42 — Operatives “beastie” and “Deadspin Pete” also write in, independently, confirming the “Kenneth from 30 Rock” thing. Are there 20 YouTube mashups yet?
10:44 — If anyone has been shot by Jim Webb yet (tonight’s “Shootin’ Guns Night” in the Webb family), please “Twitter” us details, from the hospital.
10:46 — Oh sweet results from the CNN Facebook poll. HAHAHA, 52% of the tested “pulses” show a reaction of “hopeful,” the other 48% being racist. Erica Hill: “Men were more hopeful.”
10:47 — OK THIS LIVEBLOG IS DONE, go to Ken’s new thread, which will be the last. Thank you all for spending the evening with your Wonkette!
Nice speech! Well done! Now grab Michelle and hit … the residence.
Oh, Hopey. Me loves.
Nancy Pelosi never looked so happy… um, how can ya tell?
Okay, that was nice and hopey, now I’m feeling like something more suicide-inducing. Let’s bring on the Cant-man!
Ewww, he hugged Traitorman.
Did he smooch Joe Lieberman?
Anderson is talking about juggling balls. Was that AC? Please tell me it was.
CAN he do it all? Why, Yes. He. Can.
A quick peck on the cheek from Amy Klobuchar. No tongue. The honor of Minnesota is saved.
I found the rhetoric a tad pedestrian, but then I’m a professional…pedestrian.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz — so cute. And with an accent that sounds like a bandsaw cutting through an aluminum can.
He’s signing autographs?
Jesse Jackson Jr. is getting a second autograph so he can bribe the new governor of Illinois in case Roland Burris resigns.
Is boy cheek kissing a chicago black thang?
lol obama will never leave just to spite the repubs
“Mr. President: Would you sign my playbill?”
Those autographs will be on ebay in 30 mins.
There is no beauty but the beauty of action.
- Proverb
Even I’m not getting the heebies from all the “god bless you” going on. I’m in looooove.
Even George Will on the ABC liked the part about putting all of the wars in the budget. Don’t know HOW the Republicans are going to spin that as horrible.
Hillary is in line for an autograph
SayItWithWookies: I’m guessing one of these programs will pop up on eBay in about 10 minutes.
I’ll say this - I love how Barry is so fucking cool and detached from all of this. I remember Bush signing autographs, and I think he genuinely wanted to be loved by everyone he saw. He was needy and childlike and full of wonder. Barry’s more like, yeah sure I’ll sign your autograph, but I’m not going to be emotionally invested in it.
An excellent performance. Good job, Sir, good job.
Keith said “Governor buzzkill” ha.
Mr President, would you sign my right breast? Above the nip, please
I want to sing the battle hymn of the republic
but i only know like the first verse
Scary Barry is pointing his finger at me in the ad to the left. I think he found out I dropped out of high school. I got my GED and went college! Please stop looking at me like that!
Jindal: “Taxes of Evil” speech ahead.
I love hearing him called “Mr President.” Eat that, McCain.
Dennis Kucinich crowded the aisle for both the entrance and teh exit. Dennis Kucinich is totally a starfucker.
simetrias: BJ
Nancy declares the two chambers disolved. Hitching up bra. Oh, and the senate and house are in recess, too.
oh man hes talking to the pages, 100% molested, AMIRITE?
Maybe Jindal chickened out?
SEXIEST AUTOGRAPH CLUSTERFUCK EVER!! SPELLCHECK DOESN’T RECOGNIZE WORD CLUSTERFUCK.
notapipe: don’t dis dennis, his wife is super hot
Did you see the gaggle of aides fawning over him on the way out? Cute!
I’ll give you the ones who sleep in their office identify with their constituents okay, Rach, but the other Members, not so much.
My roommate, watching NBC: “Rahm Emmanuel looks so stoned.”
notapipe: dude look at his wife
Five minutes to suck. I mean Jindal. Five minutes to Jindal.
Okay, here’s my strategy for Bobby Jindal:
Open with a big “I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I”
Follow that with a “HE WHO SMELT IT, DEALT IT”
Then the quick one-two of “SO’S YOUR DEAD MOM” and “BUY YOUR OWN DAMN FRIES”
Then cast out the demons in Blagojevich’s taint.
bitchincamaro: I just giggled excessively. Thank you for that.
Whaaaa, he’s offscreen now.
jagorev: On the other hand, if he farted, there’d be a drop to the floor en masse to sniff it out by the faithful. I’m ok with that, but jeeeesus.
Let’s hear it for The Beatles, lady and gentlemen!!
And now for our next act, the
DavePiyush Clark Five!bitchincamaro: The Hill doesn’t do BJs, remember? Monica told us.
I, for one, am deeply disappointed that President Obama did not announce that he is going to implement my plan to get this country going by invoking the RICO Act against that ongoing criminal conspiracy known as the Republican Party. RICO was tailor-made for situations such as this. You could look it up…
bitchincamaro: Very nicely done. Fucking Evil Taxes.
simetrias: She will with this “new broom”
bitchincamaro: it’d smell like fresh laundry, too. CHANGE IS IN THE AIR
Slumdog Millionaire Jindal, take it away@!
I’m Bobby Gryndel.
Oh, God
Here’s Jindal sounding like a condescending first-grade teacher.
Jindal: Hey, if Brown Barry can be prez, can Brown Bobby?
Did Keith just mutter “oh god” when the Jindal came out?
This a-hole talks like a local used-car ad.
lol no sound, nice CNN
Bobby Jindal is gesturing like a used car salesman
LMFAO What was that again Keith?
holy shit it’s bizarro hopey! christ on a crutch he’s awful.
Please stop talking to me like I’m five. Mmmkay, thanks.
AHHHHH Jindal is a clown!!!!11!!
Olbermann mutters “Oh God” on his entrance!!!!!!!11!
I thought Bobby Jindal was gonna give the rebuttal — not that page guy from 30 Rock.
You litte existing precondition, you!
OMFG, what a douche. The Southern accent does not hang well on him.
…he looks like a Madame Toussaint wax figure
Jindal = Kenneth from 30 Rock
Why does Jindal sound like he’s reading a children’s novel?
i feel like bobby jindal is talking to me like i’m five
Why does Jindal sound like he was raised in Mayberry?
Bobby Jindal is not hosting an infomercial, despite what he thinks.
OMG too bad they didnt miss a payment / what if they had?
Oh. My. God. Jindal is a train wreck.
Hahaha. The anti-christ is anti-climaxing on my teevee!!
…god, I hope his teleprompter cuts out!
Never mind Keith, I know now what you meant. This guy sounds like an RV salesman.
OMG does this dork aLLways tALk lIKe tHIs? YuHHHHHuh YuHHHuh
Haha, Bobby Jindal sounds like a total dope.
india, is that in mexico?
OH GOD, BOBBY JINDAL SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE KENNETH THE PAGE.
Sorry about the all caps.
I was unaware that Bobby Jindal’s name is still legally Piyush. Ouch. That’s not going to go over well in Jesusstan.
I also like the Wikipedia saying “He has given testimony to Baptist congregations” as though that makes him less of a Doom Cookie somehow.
does Jamesons go with merlot?
My newfound self-esteem (via Paxil) precludes me from looking at or hearing Bobby Jindal. The ‘compelling story’ line notwithstanding. Republicans are crazy. Facts are facts.
Has there ever been someone besides Jim Webb who gave a good SOTU (or non-SOTU) response?
this sounds like an infomercial
Oh, for fuck’s sake, the cringing’s already starting for me.
Piyush Jindal, singlehandedly setting our race back 50 years with every additional word.
(facepalm)
simetrias: Will he end his speech with a Bollywood dance number? If so, ten thousand whore diamonds.
Anyone else hear keith say ‘oh my god’ right before precious jindal came on?
bobby thinks that we are all developmentally disabled.
My husband thinks the Jindal portion is actually a Saturday Night Live skit.
His father called him “Bobby”. Why? His name was Piyush.
Why is this man talking like a guest speaker at a 4th grade assembly?
I guess the remaining voters in the republican party are at about a 3rd grade education level, so Jindal is speaking in a tone they find friendly? He can’t be this vapid.
Thank you, Mr. Rogers.
Such crappy elocution. Stop the sing-song bobby.
Holy fuck I hate his accent. Why can’t he talk like the Harvard educated McKinsey douche he really is? Be true to yourself, Bobby!
Holy carp, what public speaking school did Jindal attend? He sounds like he’s doing a book on tape or something.
And he’s a pre-existing condition. Also.
Wtf. This prick is reading to first graders or what?
YOUR FATHER DIDN’T ADDRESS YOU AS “BOBBY,” DICK.
Goddamn, I’m so glad we only lived in the south briefly growing up, well AFTER our speech patterns (and accents — or lack thereof) had been solidified.
(shudders again)
This liquor’s cheap crap, but I really need it now.
wow Louisiana’s state flag is lame
Once upon a time, there was this bitch named Katrina Obama!
I’m the sherrif and you can come and suck my bleep.
Jindal makes even a tragic story sound like Mr Rogers story time.
Now he sounds like Blago with the “sheriff” story.
obfuscator: does he normal sound like the slack yawed yokal from the simpsons?
freppish: Well, India is Europe’s Mexico, so technically, I guess.
Was that bureaucrat from FEMA?
Poor Bobby. Looks so…turdish and tiny and scared.
Shhh. It’s Puppet Time with Unkle Bobby! Yeay, I’m 3 again!
Wait, this is a republican response? He loves Barry, too.
haha “taxes” drink, suckers
…and if you don’t like this 1994 Buick, how about this 1995 Mercury? Henh-henh!
…LMAO! Did Bobby Jindal forget who was in charge during Katrina?!
Yo, yo, it must be Bobby
Oh, no, it must be Bobby
Bobby Jindal delivery sounds like Kenneth from “30 Rock.”
GOVERNMENT BAD
BOATS GOOD
obfuscator: You are exactly right, I was having trouble placing it… friendly southern retard.
obfuscator: Whoa, I was totally thinking the same thing.
Kenneth is way more interesting though. This guy is boring, holy shit! He’s like Republican Al Gore.
Holy crap, this is the Repubs’ response? This is the rising star of the GOP? He’s horrible. It’s like watching Homer Simpson get knocked out by Dedric Tatum.
obfuscator: Fucking NAILED it.
obfuscator: OMG YOU’RE RIGHT!!!
Oh Bobby
You have a gift for vocal emphasis.
Where did you train?
Blah blah blah, *wags hands* blah blah blah.
. . . Oh and now he’s acting out a kid’s story! Yay.
jindal reads a teleprompter like some douchebag on a local tv ad for a shady law firm.
“if you’ve been in an accident, call jindal, jindal, and douche. we put the law on your side.”
“these plans would cost less and create more jobs.”
Also, I have these magic beans I’ll trade you for your cow.
SayItWithWookies: Ooops, sorry I missed your previous comment.
“I was talking with that crazy old sheriff and he said ‘That thar Congressman Jingle is down here? Arrest that Muslin!’ and I said ‘Golly. I must be a Muslin!”
Don’t laugh…if your IQ equaled your shoe size, you’d find this pretty inspirational.
die die die die die die die
Jindal is no longer the future of the GOP.
Next.
obfuscator: YES! I couldn’t place it, but you’re right. He’s not really going to run in 2012, is he? I couldn’t stand listening to this during the campaign.
bookish_lesbian: yes. thank you. does he talk to everyone like this? i expect him to say oooh! soon.
BklynIlluminati:a! While it is hard to top a line like “he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored” the last verse might be most apt for now:
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Hahaha, yes please let this clown run against Obama in 2012. Can you imagine Jindal facing off against Barry in a debate?
Wait, America is done voting for the southerner who can’t speak intelligently, right?
Yay! America is a proud nation of boat people, led by a comical Southern sheriff!
…ummmmmmm, how does reducing income tax help someone with NO INCOME!!!
Did this guy write his own material? It’s laughable.
cranky: Well, most of the republican base is developmentally disabled, so that may explain the second grade teacher speak.
“Something called ‘Volcano Monitoring’” Ha ha! Those silly people who don’t want to get killed by lava!
We shouldn’t be monitoring…volcanoes…?
Mickey Mouse is gonna take your monies. The mouse house=terrorist training camp. DO NOT WANT
Is it the accent, or is Bobby a lot like 30 Rock’s Kenneth..?
I’m Troy McClure, you may have seen me in such speeches as the GOP partisan response.
I am feeling bad a for a Republican..yes…Jindal is doing that bad of a job right now…wow.
finally sone one is talking the truth aout volcano monitoring, our nation’s shame. never forget!
Did anybody else hear Chris Mathews on MSNBC yell “OH, GOD” when they went to Bobby Jindal?
Is it just me, or does Bobby Jindal an Indian version of Kenneth from 30 Rock?
money we do not have and things we do not need. like war? ferrit face.
we shouldn’t watch volcano’s, that ruins the burning hot surprise of lava in your house
bitchincamaro: Ben and Jerry’s does.
I wanna see his Howdy Doody entrance run on a loop on teh Youtubes.
Watch the porn metaphors, Jindal! “Eruption of spending,” indeed…
What good is volcano monitoring? Ask Sara Palin… or at least someone well-informed in Alaska.
Not with the fucking earmarks again. It didn’t work for McShame, it won’t work for you now.
Baton douche.
drill baby drill
C’mon Bobby, set fire to a hundred dollar bill to symbolize your opposition to the stimulus. And put your birth certificate on the internet.
Damn, he’s patronizing.
Democrats baaaaaad!!! They don’t trust you to starve on your own!
Oh. my. god. All those new cars for government must be a horrible thing! Don’t mention that they’ll be hybrids/alt-fuel, Bobby!
OK, I’m sorry I keep commenting, but really, this is disgusting. I know I shouldn’t, but as an Indian-descent/born and raised in the USer, I’m personally extra-horrified at this horrendous showing by our own personal Uncle Punjab (an Indian equivalent to “Uncle Tom” that I coined back in high school, referring to the “Punjab” character in the old “Annie” comic strips).
We get some douche with a fake Southern accent and a totally calculated, politically motivated “religious conversion” as our first major national political representative? Christ, what a mockery.
>>10:28 — Bobby Jindal performs his new off-Broadway one-act, “Me & The Wacky Sheriff.”
LOL. This is why I am up at 3:30 am.
Great — you cut taxes, and now your state’s $2 billion in debt. We should follow that example?
at least he almost said nuclear properly.
sk1win: hahaha
he is such a terrible speaker
Oh shit, bad timing on that last bong hit. This speach should be sold as a two pack with Pineapple Express. I think it may actually be funnier than Seth.
BJ for prez 2012. Lying pc of sht.
Good for Bobby J. he cut taxes!!! Lord knows the government is so awesome there… they don’t need any more money! That’s why Louisiana has the most well educated and healthiest children in America. #1…. yeah.
We stand for universal access to health care for everyone who has enough money to buy it.
where can I buy tickets on this train from LA to Vegas?!? oh wait…
That tie looks like a christmas candy cane. I Am Not Hindu.
Dr Tobias Funke: “Some folk’ll never lose a toe, but then again some folk’ll.”
hageesheart: Well played.
Did he just say monitoring volcanoes was bad? Because that’s not something that might lead to thousands dead or anything.
I hope my repub friends don’t try to ’sell me’ this guy tomorrow.
Americans can do anything, except buy food, own a home, have healthcare.
Epic fail, buster.
freppish: a pelican? fantastic.
Government is going to kidnap your doctor.
“No American should have to worry about losing their health care.”
And if no American has health care, this won’t be a problem.
nbc’s wiggly reaction worms are making me sick
Lose the dopey accent Bobby. The 27% of Americans who are impressed by that accent will never vote for a darkie anyway.
Dear god. This is horrifying.
“Americans can do ANYTHING. We’re MAGIC!”
What a joke. The N.O. school system was dismantled and destroyed after katrina.
Oho! Mr. “anti-abortion even in cases of rape and incest” Jindal doesn’t think the government should meddle in our health-care decisions. Rich!
Yeah, Louisiana is goddam Xanadu.
He doesn’t think monitoring earthquakes is important? Hmmm.. I guess we don’t need to monitor hurricanes, either.
jindal has a deep south/louisiana accent. kenneth from 30 rock has a hill country accent. what hill country, oh i have no idea. georgia? west virginia?
hageesheart: He reminds me of Natassia Kinski in Paris, Texas.
They just roasted some tana leaves and presto Governor Mummy Jindal appeared from his crypt.
1. Jindal’s idea about education innovation is to teach intelligent design.
2. Lots of people still say that about Louisiana.
Excuse me this isn’t 2008. We already had an election Gov. Booby. Your gang lost.
“To feed our enemies?” What?
FEAR TERRORISTS, THEY WILL KILL YOU
…Palin/Jindal 2012!
I think he’ll regret the monitoring volcanoes crack after Yellowstone blows up.
Good for Louisiana, though, electing a Cuban guy.
DoctorCulturae: “can do” is the new “FAIL”!
This is so tired and old and boring and … um… YOU LOST.
Looking for hope in all the wrong places.
just like the former leader of the GOP, ‘bobby’ jindal cannot read
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_Bobby_Jindal%27s_middle_name
THIS QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED YET!!!!
obama talks to america like a college professor. jindal talks to us like an insipid preschool teacher.
All this needs is Tim Kaine’s eyebrows.
And so in one evening we witnessed the solidifying of one political career and the self-immolation of another.
Uncommon Nonsense: Have hope! There’s still Sanjay Gupta!
I am Governor Jindal. Please to be working in this sweatshop.
Until tonight, I never realized that Jindal has the stage presence of a cheesedick shrew.
Republicans lost your trust, and rightly so.
End.
Is this his Jack McBrayer impression or what?
i think “pity-vote us”, is the new republican platform.
I wish I had that “WRAP IT UP” box from that one “Chappelle’s Show” sketch.
thanks you hageesheart! I knew that ridiculous affectation was familiar. this gov is appalling
Are we watching PBS?
“standing up for principle” like turning back unemployment money, fucking fuckface.
The GOP is fucked for sure.
9/11!!!!!111one
September 11!!!!
omg, SNL, Stewart, Colbert, et al is going to have a field day with this…
Dayyyngeruss ENemies still hUNnger FOR our blOOd our ARmy will proTECT us from HARM.
nevermind our votes for the financial institution bailouts. We believe in YOOOOOUUUUU the citizen!
goodnight moon. goodnight red balloon. goodnight jindal talking like a buffoon.
jindal/palin 2012!
Never forget!
I CAN HAZ AMERCAN
Communists and 9/11 hes dropping the big ones
governor talking points can eat shit and die
What? No earmarks in a STATE budget? That hardly makes any sense.
The American “Spirit”…as if all this stuff happens by accident. What a weed!
Colander: Ah, I knowed ‘Baton Rouge’ didn’t sound very ‘Murkin! Prob’ly near that Moulin Rouge.
“We ARE Americans.” FYI.
He said, we have the most Brazilian economy. FAIL.
Americans can do anything…. except listen to YOU, bud.
Jindal is awful. He sounds like Ellie Mae Clampett. It’s the strangest in-FLEC-shun I ever did hear.
True story: Piyush Jindal knew he had to change his name to stop getting beaten up in school. He picked the name of the name of the middle brother in the Brady Bunch. What’s that tell ya?
…why didn’t he start speaking in tongues?
He makes me vomit a little bit in the back of my throat…and not in a good way
No, God bless YOU little Bobby.
bitchincamaro: tee hee
I have potentially the worst redneck accent in the history of the world and I still have heard nothing like this. He has the most annoying voice I have ever heard. I would rather listen to Sarah Palin.
Wow — that was the karaoke rebuttal. Thank you Governor Whoeverthefuckyouwere.
Rachel…. THE BEST!!!!!11!!!!
David Brooks is blasting Jindal and Reps. BLASTING.
Wow, he’s actually a worse candidate than Palin. Is this Steele’s example of the “hip-hop” repugs? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure every “best rap album” speech has been better than this.
Repugs should have had Joe The Trader Santelli screaming the wacky Nazi response from the trading floor at Wall St.
So much for ‘coming out’. He’s auditioning for a local amateur drama group.
“Americans can do anything.” Somehow this observation did not come off right.
evolutionista: well played m’am
Loving Rachel’s initial reaction on MSNBC!
Did they pick BJ because he is the only Republican who can read?
That guy is SO diddling a child.
That speech was SO incredibly bad that I almost wonder if Jindal was put forward by his own opponents in the Republican party–crash and burn, baby, crash and burn.
Rachel Maddow just said: I know I’m paid to talk, but right now I am completely incapable. She was laughing her ass off at Jindal holding up the Katrina response as an example of good gov
…WoW, Chris Matthews is tearing the rethuglicans a new one.
evolutionista: Nice.
Dorje Chenmo: LOL!!1!!1!!!!! win
I love idiots who think that Volcano research isn’t important. Yeah, and while we’re at it, why don’t we just not spend money on researching other natural disasters, like hurricanes, Bobby?
Idiots who pretend that it won’t create jobs, on the other hand, make me angry, though. Are scientists not people?
Well. For all you Indians who were feeling pretty good after Slumdog won all those awards, I hope you realize Piyush just set us all back by about 50 years.
We are American (except NOBama, who’s a Jewish-Tanzanian.)
HAHAHA. Rachel Maddow’s response was great. Just utter disbelief at Jindal’s faceplant.
haha, chris matthews just referred to having the (indian american) governor of louisiana give the response as “outsourcing.” scandal?
COMING OUT PARTY LOLOL!!!!!1!!1!!
Oh God I’m drunk.
Gergen thinks Jindal’s remarks about Katrina was wacky
OffTheRecord: seriously.
Does anyone think he sounds like Kenneth from 30 Rock? Wait, what, this exact comment has already been posted 12 times? Oh. Carry on.
Roland Martin is DA PIMP.
Jindal got 140 billion in feeral aid. WTF?
Now I see why the Republicans voted against delaying the switch to digital TV. Their best hope is that a big chunk of the country couldn’t watch either one of the speeches tonight.
On the other hand, he has also set southerners back by about 15 years. You would have thought Bush would be their nadir, but no, it gets worse.
Is anybody going to have the nerve to bring up the terrible shooting that happened today at Mardi Gras? He can’t even run a street party and we’re supposed to elect him president?
Not one mention of Octomom tonight. wtf.
jagorev: Blah, I wasn’t feeling good about that, either. (cough)whiteguilt(cough) But I could live with that. Tonight (post-Obama, I mean) was an utter abortion.
And David Gergen just killed Bobby Jindal’s dog on CNN. Gergen will play the main (in-quotes) baddie on The New Andy Griffith Show.
Jindal’s Repub response is proof Hopey has to put his foot to the floor. Bipartisanship is a hollow notion. Get into the conversation or take a hike back to the 1980s.
So where was Jindal’s beads? It’s focking Mardi Gras! HERITIC!
Either he was smoking some good dope or recently escalated his dose of antidepressants, cause he sounded like he had some serious dry mouth.
AG Holder out… you still gots an HNIC, whitey!
So that’s the guy who’s the rising star of the GOP? Holy shit, that’s funny.
bignutz2: Elect Caldera 2012!
Now I return to Nova’s “Rat Attack”– from India!
Kewl High Speed Supersonic Rail Just Like Those Commie Socialist Euro People That Sean Penn Was Talkin’ About At The Acadamy Awards! Yearrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!
Jindals voice?
A mixture of LBJ & that Indian guy on the Simpsons spoken by a 12 year old.
errr, Southern India accent reverberating in a hollow dry nasal cavity of a 12 year old.
bookish_lesbian: I want you a little more each time you do that.
A number of sex circles, murder rings, gay-pride parades, extortionist efforts and child-sex abuse. Welcome to the GOP under Jindal. HUZZAH
smellyal8r: “September 11 (up inflection), 2001 (down inflection).” WTF?
Please oh please someone set Jindal’s response to hillbilly music.
Note to Bobby Jindal: manly men in the meaty red states do not take kindly to men who sound like 7 year old pre-pubescent boys (or girls). Take some steroids or concede that Sara Palin sounds more like a man than you do.
BUT WHAT IS HIS MIDDLE NAME?!?
Jindal as of 2006 Net Worth: From $1,475,060 to $3,875,000 Ranks 110th among all members of the House
Wouldn’t have that been funny if Limbaugh walked out from that Gone With The Wind staircase in New O’leans smoking a cigar instead of Windel?
Tina Fey would be gratified to see how many posters watch her show.
hey anybody remember when tina fey quoted sarah palin verbatim and it was hilarious? i can’t wait to see who will be recreating jindal the dinosaur’s speech tonight.
If we ignore those active volcanoes, like schoolyard bullies they will just go away?
More anti-science from the Republican Party.
barbara boxer is hot!
shortsshortsshorts: Boo-ya Shorts. But you still bother me a little. Even though I only comment drunk.
Also dear Wonkette overlords, please to have more Jindal brilliance in our future. He is future snark gold.
I dunno, I was kind of missing Mr. Rogers ever since the anvil fell on my head.
Sarah and The Sari 2012!
I just loved that. This is the sort of moment that keeps me hooked on politics. Jindhal makes me proud of the politicians in my country of Wales - and I always thought we had the worst.
Can someone explain to me the line “If we can do it in Baton Rouge then surely we can do it in America”? I mean, we can catch Sea Bass on the incoming tide off the beach at Y Felinheli, so surely you can do it in New York and Washington.
I counted 7 ‘Kenneth from 30 Rock” references here. It’s official. Jindal is Kenneth.
DoktorZoom: my stoned Indian friend said when Jindal claimed his dad called him bobby that “Bizarro Barack is trying to satisfy the xenophobics cuz, no Indian father ever calls his son that - he probably picked that name in school and used it behind his parent’s back” she should know - she called herself, Lana and her mom hated that name – still does.
is it just me or did Governor Jindal sound like he was reading a bedtime story?

Condolences,

Night, all. Great bloggin with you. When’s the next liveblog??
notapipe: Ha ha! It’s funny how terrible Jindal was, but not as funny as the put-downs here.
DoctorCulturae:
Here it is: Windels response set to hillbilly music…

What’s up with the Jindal neck tie. Seriously.
…like listening to Palin, but with nothing to look at.
Jindal talks like an infomercial. At first, I thought the GOP had hired that Sham-Wow guy to do their response.
evolutionista: That should be done by Robert Downey Jr. a la Tropic Thunder
slowitted: But her shirt is lame. Remove.
Jindal should have waited a couple days for his reply. I mean, c’mon, this is like going out on the court in a dunking contest right after Michael Jordan. The Republican Party is just flailing around right now, somebody put these people out of their misery.
Jim Newell: Are you a hacker? How lame.
the Sham Wow guy would’ve been an improvement - he at least knows it’s a shtick
GOP: “This little brown motherfucker is exactly what we need. He talks like us, walks like us. He converted to Christianity for fuck’s sake. I can’t wait to call him when we need the computer fixed! Haw haw.. Will he answer the phone in a botched English accent?” Haw haw..
My sister told me about the “Oh God” a few minutes ago, so yes, it was apparently noticeable.
I tell you what, after hearing Jindal speak, I think it’s safe to say God opened up the crack in the door just a wee bit further, ready for Sarah Barracuda to bust through.
Horrible. Absolutely the most awful response to anything ever. I’d rather hear/see Tom DeLay spraying roaches and calling them “Socialist motherfuckers” over and over again. For 20 minutes.
The only one Piyush made happy was Sarah Palin.
Dean Booth: Win!
imissopus: Oh yeah. Jindal sounded just like he was reading to preschoolers.
Whew! Why do I have a craving for a large red Squishee and some beef jerky?
Maati mili, jharoo phirri, bhenchod!”
Uncommon Nonsense: Hey, wait a minute. “Punjab” from the old “Little Orphan Annie” was cool.
Not as cool as Asp, true. But still . . . .
Zorg: …Did… did you just call Piyush a brother-fucker?..
AxmxZ: No, a sister-fucker. The common expletive place-holder in statements of Hindi speakers, transported to Punjabi.
Oxymoron: Vulcanologists for Jindal 2012!
The last of the red hot papadums…
The Long Bros. (Huey, Earl) are spinning at max RPMs in their crypts. You’ve done them both proud, Piyush!
Gaandmasti! Chut ka bhoot!
Bali mangti Palin ma!
Palin ma!
Palin ma!
Palin ma!
ohm numa shi vaiyay!ohm numa shi vaiyay!ohm numa shi vaiyay!ohm numa shi vaiyay!ohm numa shi vaiyay!
When I heard the “Oh god” as Piyush was walking out I assumed it was Piyush himself who said it, as he crapped his pants finally realizing he’d been set up to fail by his republican “friends.”
And that’s the story I’m sticking with. Sometimes fiction is truer than the truth.
mdotsota: Oh, they’ll figure out a way.
“10:35 — Again, this speech is just the screenplay to The Apple Dumpling Gang but with modern words.”
It would have been more fun if he read the screenplay to The Apple Dumpling Gangbang.
One this this event proves is that Michelle Bachman is racist. She wasn’t trying to make babies with Bommy, like she did with W. after the SOTU. Either that, or better security.
What the hell was Joe Biden doing the whole time:

Zorg: Right, right… it’s bhaichod for fraternal as opposed to sororial.
AxmxZ: Right on, Home!
