Anybody else catch that with the GOP rebuttal? He came out from behind the wall toward the camera with a freaky I-need-brains grin, and his arms were pinned to his sides like a couple of salamis. LOL :lol:

he's Alan Keyes with a southern accent. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
Someone at MSNBC (sounds like Olbermann to me) was similarly unimpressed with Jindal's appearance, cutting to him while muttering (on an unexpectedly hot mic), "Oh, God."

Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
Conservative David Brooks was pretty underwhelmed by his speech as well:

Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
He is such a door knob--Jindal. The US political system has turned into a joke. The only reason they are doing this is so that they have a colored guy going up against a colored guy.
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
I did feel a bit sorry for Jindal. Actually, he is a bright guy - an Ivy League educated Rhodes Scholar. But the content and delivery of his speech really vacillated between horror and hilarity, and it showed just how out of touch the Republican party is with reality.
Also, he's just not a great presenter and can't connect with people anywhere near the way that Obama can. I feel bad for anyone who has to present after Obama...Jindal never had a chance.
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
I agree with many of the comments and will note at times he felt condescending in his speech. I felt like he spoke to us like we were stupid. More importantly, I still don't think he delivered an effective speech to counter-point a good Obama speech.
As for Jindal, I would say give him time and more experience. Obama had his ineffective speech moments years ago as well. Don't write off Jindal yet.

how about we just toss him to the side and get some goddamn principled leadership in the party? Principles don't come from talk radio, and as far as a I can tell, that's where Jindal gets his weak sauce from.
/not saying talk radio sucks, but it's not anything to base a party on. (imo)

Talk radio is great. It's dominated by white male Republicans like Hannity, Savage, O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Beck. I enjoy listening to them tell me how fucked everything is. And more importantly, I get a viewpoint biased from the right instead of the usual left slant that CNN and the NY Times gives me.
I say let the free market rule and keep the fairness doctrine out of talk radio. When the liberals can come up with a radio station that is entertaining I'll listen to that too.
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
From some of the clips I've seen it looked like a pretty weak speech. I kind of felt awkward and a bit embarassed for him just watching it.

I see it more as antiquated ideology sticking to antiquated technology.

actually, WHITE has nothing to do with it.
second, as far as i've listened, they've said things are fucked for a while now, even way before obama took office. i only say that as far as Limbaugh goes, because he's really the only tolerable one.
But i have to admit, Beck, even as he can be a douche on social issues (he's a goddamn mormon btw), he's spot on about the economy.
btw
how IS this antiquated ideology btw?
and, if you get a second, tell me what the opposite of this so-called 'ideology' is.
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
I'll give you the antiquated technology, but I don't get that antiquated ideology either. Socialism and Marxism aren't anything new.
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
I'll tell you what, although I had heard bits and pieces of this, I didn't get around to listening to the whole thing until this weekend, and wow was that ever disappointing coming from the guy that is supposed to be the next golden boy for the GOP. The tone, more than anything, was really condescending and off-putting, like he was reading a children's book to a room full of kindergartners.
Fortunately for him, voters have short memories, and plenty of people have bombed the response to the SOTU and gone on to be successful.
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
I'm late to this thread - I missed the Obama speech entirely and just happened to turn on the TV - I didnt know who Jindal was - I really thought it was a joke, I thought it was SNL or similar. How could that speech be a nationally televised political broadcast!! shocking
Re: ZOMG Bobby Jindal Walks Like a Zombie
Speaking of Jindal, did anyone see the 60 minutes puff piece last night about him? It's like they were helping him redeem himself after that terrible speech. File that 60 minutes report as an example of the media not always leaning liberal. The media is the Republicans enemy they love to hate.
