when they saw Bobby Jindal speak last night? Don't lie, DON'T F'N LIE!

"Welcome to the 7 - 11." best Abu voice.

Wow, did he hurt himself last night. Especially when he came walking out through the doorway and suddenly stopped and started speaking within a nanosecond. At that point, I knew it didn't matter what he said, it was over. Much like when John Kerry said, "I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty."

That's exactly what I was thinking. The set up was terrible, and the "response" to the president's address was weak. No matter what he said, all I could hear was "I'm the GOP Obama, and I'll be running for POTUSA in 4 years."

Yup.

If there were rep points here, you would have earned them.

Insane. Childish. Disaster. And those were some of the kinder comments from political pundits about Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and his response to President Barack Obama's speech to Congress on Tuesday night.

Jindal, 37, a Rhodes scholar and son of Indian immigrants, is considered a rising star in Republican ranks and a likely 2012 presidential candidate. GOP leaders, looking for a fresh face for the party's image, tapped Jindal earlier this month for the high-profile task of rebutting Obama's first address to a joint session of Congress.

But in both style and substance, Jindal's speech has drawn flak from Republicans and Democrats alike.

His criticism of government spending for emergency economic relief has been widely panned, especially given his state's receipt of billions in federal assistance after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. And Jindal's voice and earnest, awkward delivery have drawn comparisons to Kenneth Parcell, the geeky page on the NBC comedy "30 Rock."

Indeed, a new Facebook group titled "Bobby Jindal is Kenneth the Page" had already attracted more than 1,800 members Wednesday
