It wasn’t a fair fight. Watching Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s painful, sing-song response to President Barack Obama’s powerful and plain-spoken speech felt like watching an over-eager child trying to box Muhammad Ali. The kid was flailing wildly, while Ali just held the kid’s head at arm’s length, all the while smiling benignly. The kid’s arms whirled like windmills, but he never got close to connecting with the champ.

President Obama was confident and compelling; Gov. Jindal had all the saccharine sincerity of a Disney tour guide. Jindal reached his reductio ad absurdum when he suggested progressive and proactive Obama-led government could not be trusted to fix our economic problems because corrupt and incompetent Bush-led government had screwed up Katrina.

But if it is Pres. Bush who haunts Gov. Jindal’s past, it is Rush Limbaugh who haunts his future. One of the lesser-known laws of politics is that you can survive your enemies; it’s your friends who do you in.

So it is with Bobby Jindal. The governor of Louisiana has come a long way in a little time. A formidable politician, he wrested the governor’s mansion away from Bayou State Democrats. But can he survive the love of the right-wing Republicans—especially their leader, Rush Limbaugh?

1. So maybe the pundits will stop talking about Obama being inexperienced and amateurish? One can hope

2. The Twilight Zone

Poor Bobby. He'll be lucky to get reelected in his own state when people find out he doesn't want to take the unemployement benefits part of the stimulus.

3. Bobby Jinglebells, like any other GOoPer, is against any part of the stimulus

he can't personally profit from.

4. Jon Stewart called Jindal out really well...

...noting that Jindal was totally opposed to the stimulus, and was ready to accept "only" $3.6 billion out of a total of $3.7 billion!

This is just as important, this is documentation of religious extremeism very similar to Sarah Palin's. He needs to be discredited. Thank gods he is a wet fish as a speaker.
