Bobby Jindal is back and he's had enough!!
Edited on Mon Jul-20-09 12:53 PM by HopeOverFear
this week by penning op-eds in Politico and the Wall Street Journal and appearing on a series of cable chat shows today and tomorrow.

"Governor Jindal has seen enough," said Curt Anderson, a consultant for Jindal. "As a health-care policy expert, he strongly believes that the House Democrat plan would be a disaster for the long-term health of the American people, and the long-term health of the economy."

That Jindal is adding his voice to the chorus of Republican critics of Democrats' approach to President Obama's chief policy priority -- Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele will offer his own critique today at the National Press Club -- is evidence that the youthful governor sees a role for himself in the national policy debate despite a rocky introduction to the country earlier this year.

Jindal, who is widely regarded as one of the rising stars within the Republican party, was chosen to deliver the party's response to Obama's February address to Congress. His performance was, to be charitable, weak and turned him -- briefly -- into fodder for the late night talk shows due to his resemblance to one Kenneth the Page.

4. Wonder if the GOP will put Jindal front and center now that
all of their other rising stars are crashing? How is he an expert on health care?

6. The biggest tax increase is what the lobbyists take out of our nation
and put in the pockets of Big Pharma and Big Insurance.

Enough is enough;

Too much is too much !

8. This is a guy who wrote an article about beating the demons out of a woman
Because she disagreed with his prayer group and was thus obviously possessed by Satan.

As a health-care policy expert, he can go stand a few paces behind the fuckers with the leeches and turpentine tonics

13. "Bobby Jindal is back" is like saying "the toilet downstairs is backed up"
Info on the toilet is much more useful.

14. Here's the photo that accompanied the story

I can only hope he gives a rebuttal to Obama's health care address this week.

18. He's wise to have a consultant speak for him
His own papery thin voice is hard to hear over the sound of the GOP exploding.

21. Jindal's rising star has a definite droop in it
The sparkle is fizzling, and it's on it's way back down.
