Bobby Jindal's speech

[Here4Good]

I'm a big Jindal fan (and I'm not a huge fan of the party) and am disappointed at the way he's being ripped over this. He's smart and capable, and he has probably one of the toughest Governor jobs in the US.

I wish you could have seen his daily press conferences after Hurricane Gustav - he had all of the facts at his fingertips, he knew exactly what was going on everywhere. It was the very epitome of excellent executive leadership.

Yes, it was Gustav, not Ike, and I agree 100 percent with your assessment. He was amazing. Did you see him the other night though? It was jarringly bad. He'll recover but he needs to just do his own thing from now on.

He's supposed to be very religious. So much so that he once participated in an exorcism: TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo | Is Bobby Jindal -- Who May Be On McCain's Veep Shortlist -- An Exorcist?

Perfect! He can go to Washington and perform one!

P.S. I didn't see his rebuttal.

I read the speech, and thought it was OK, then I started to watch the video and had to stop. It was like a Jindal wind-up doll, not the actual man.

This is what the idiots who run the party do to perfectly good people.

You beat me to it. Jindal on his own would have done just fine. I can just hear his "handlers" - Make sure you smile, now. Not so serious with your delivery.

What these goofballs fail to realize is that Bobby being his own self is what got him to this point. Let the man be who he is, for God's sake.

And while we're at it, if the Republican party is going to insist on refering to the President as Barack HUSSEIN Obama...lets be fair and refer to the Governor of Louisiana by his real name too. Its "Piyush Jindal"...Bobby is a name he gave himself.

You are absolutely right--I just wish more people would realize this--I think that stereotype has finally gone by the wayside.

What closet have you been hiding in? It's gone by the wayside just in time for them to tax and spend us into oblivion. No pun intended about the closet.

My favorite was:

While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a 'magnetic levitation' line from Las Vegas to Disneyland, and $140 million for something called 'volcano monitoring.' Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C.

Because it's a waste of tax dollars to want some sort of warning if the Seattle suburbs or parts of Alaska, Oregon or Hawaii are about to get covered with lava and ash. Free market should take care of those things, don't cha know?

I've also heard allegations he played loose with the facts while describing the Katrina situation.
