does Bobby Jindal know his audience, or is he full of crap?
does refusing stimulus money play well to the people of Louisiana, or is Bobby Ray just whistling Dixie?

Because, you see, I have a real, real hard time believing that folks with brains, grace and compassion would want him to turn down help. I think I'd be mad as hell, if I was an unemployed Louisianan and my governor told me I wasn't going to get extended benefits. Huh. No jobs, no unemployment...

What are they going to do down there, Bobby Ray?

Oh, I know, you are going to count on the charity of others, just like Katrina. How'd that work out for Louisianans? You really are compassionate toward the people you govern, huh, Bobby Ray?

But never mind all that little, unimportant stuff, Bobby Ray. You're the darling of the reich wing media. You're the next Sarah Palin. You go, guy and don't look back.

YOU FUCKING PRICK!!!!!

1. I lean towards full of crap
I think the GOP figured out a long time ago that we are a nation of low info voters and act accordingly by lying incessantly and acting boorish because they know most people don't pay enough attention to notice. I don't think it matters what Jindal said, it won't really affect his reelection chances.

2. Remember the definition of "blivet?"
"Blivet" = "10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag."

I'm thinking Bobby "Blivet" Jindal.

The guy is drowning in his own fecal matter but he's too damned self-absorbed and narcissistic to see it.

8. The guy gave the speech and headed off to Disney World
I'm sorry...if I were giving a speech that the media classified as my "DEFINING MOMENT," I would NOT leave town.

I'd stick around and bask in the glow.

I'd be a glory hog.

Jindal got the hell out of Dodge because he has the ability to SEE and HEAR television.

:rofl:

As the saying goes, "Life is what happens when you're making other plans."

9. They would have performed better using the excavated Corpse of Peter Sellars
Performing his role in "The Party"

I spoke with someone today about his dialect, and this astute woman mentioned that he was most likely trying to hide any evidence of his Hindi accent, even though most East Indians speak in a non descritp english dialect. Regardless of that, they can also flow into the East-Indian dialect, at will, since they grew up with it.

Jindal was so scared he tried on a west texas zombie dialect and failed.

And yes, I think you are right in calling him a prick.

10. He better take the money.
Unless he wants his state to go from 39th place in GDP per capita to 51st.

11. Just HOW are the two answers mutually exclusive?
He knows his audience, and like him, they are all full of crap!

12. Dim-Son ran the country(into the ground) for 8 years - surely Jindal can follow?
.
.
.

Do not relax down there . .

The republicans have a plan.

As much as we despise them,

THEY ARE NOT STUPID - remember that.

They just raped the taxpayers for trillions over the last 8 years

and got away with it . . .

something to ponder . .
