Predictably you all attack Jindal's delivery in avoidance of his underlying message.

Squirrels collecting nuts perhaps.

[Avalux]

[PA Democrat]

14. It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,

A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor

[stevedeshazer]

15. Since I live about 40 miles from an active volcano,

I kind of like volcano monitoring.

There, that's about his message!

[Danger Mouse]

16. No worries. His underlying message sucked as much as his delivery.

[Grown2Hate]

46. LoL This line cracked me up; the hardest I've laughed all week! NT

[Sarah Ibarruri]

17. ROFLMAO! nt

[kestrel91316]

18. What message? 9/11...cut taxes...terraterraterra...no big government...

9/11.....family values.....real America....blah blah blah??

[FrenchieCat]

20. I was laughing too hard!

Didn't hear a thing!

[Lint Head]

21. Do you mean underlying or overly lying message?

:dem:

[WinkyDink]

22. His underLYING message is right. "Avoidance"? He's not WORTH ANY TIME, because he's a LOSER.

[Born_A_Truman]

23. Which was???

[leftstreet]

25. Volcanoes are part of the Axis of Evil

[BuyingThyme]

27. Don't play with matches.

[ecstatic]

26. His delivery was so astoundingly bad that I think

everyone was just stunned. As the shock wears off, we're beginning to criticize the content too. :)

[Ken Burch]

28. UH...we can't attack BOTH?

n/t.

[Ediacara]

29. What message? The big "FUCK YOU" to states with natural disasters that aren't hurricanes?

[Supersedeas]

43. regional answers for a small minded govt reformer

[grantcart]

30. Well when you witness the worst delivery of a political address in American history

its hard to move beyond the laughter.


That voice. Reminds me of when the silent film actors all failed talkies because they didn't have the voice for it.

[Baikonour]

31. Here's hoping SNL hires McBrayers to imitate Jindal.

The voice is EXACTLY the same.

[BuyingThyme]

32. He sounded okay on the radio when he was turning down the stimulus cash.

I guess you need to know when to quit.

[krkaufman]

38. Another great analogy.

Seriously, Jindahl's speech was an epic fail, and I hate using that phrase. Jindahl's definitely in the mold of Bush and Palin.

[RollWithIt]

33. wtf

wtf

seriously

wtf

[backscatter712]

34. He repeated the Disneyland-to-Vegas-train lie.

BZZZZZZZZT! WRONG! TOTAL FUCKING LIE!!!!!!

[Richard Steele]

35. LOL! nm

[Barack_America]

39. Republicans have a message?

:shrug:

[Budgies Revenge]

40. ooohhhhhh I got it!

Jindal's message was "Republicans stand by and watch while Democrats get things done. Then they can tell stories about it, so it almost sounds like they did something."
Did I get it? Do I win?

[jberryhill]

41. Americans Can Criticize ANYTHING /nt

[Dappleganger]

42. His message was...

"This is the best we have to offer so I'm going to give it a 3rd grade try, gosh darnit!"

[Canuckistanian]

44. Underlying WHAT? n/t

[high density]

45. We've heard the message before

It was a rehash of a bad McCain speech. Tax cut. Government bad. Tax cut. Terrorism.

[akbacchus_BC]

47. Guess, I did not get the joke. Sorry, what is the underlying message?

I thought he talked like a regular rethug and as for looks, we have no control over that, but he can no way ever be the President of the US!

[Warren Stupidity]

50. I actually couldn't get past the visual at all.

Did he actually say anything?

[olegramps]

51. I thought it was an eulogy at the memorial for the Republican Party.

He reminds me of a mortician with that sickening smile. "Oh, My God!" summed it up nicely.

[AlinPA]

52. David Brooks: "...speech byJindal was just an unmitigated disaster"
