"Critics rip Governor Jindal's response
NEW YORK - Insane. Childish. Disaster.
And those were some of the kinder comments from political pundits about Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and his response to President Obama's speech to Congress 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.
Then he MUST be on the RIGHT TRACK!!!
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.
Yeah, two-thirds of which HASN'T BEEN SPENT yet!!!
Government is HOLDING ON TO IT from what I saw on CBS overnight!!!
And Jindal's voice and earnest, awkward delivery fell flat. David Brooks, a conservative New York Times columnist who has criticized aspects of the stimulus plan, nonetheless called Jindal's arguments "insane" and tone-deaf given the dire economic challenges the country faces.
As opposed to the LUNKHEADS like BROOKS and his friends who GOT US INTO THIS MESS!!!!
Rush Limbaugh, arguably the nation's most prominent conservative voice, defended Jindal on his radio show yesterday while acknowledging that "stylistically," Obama had outshined Jindal. "The people on our side are making a real mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal," Limbaugh said. "We cannot shun politicians who speak for our beliefs just because we don't like the way he says it."
Unless his name is RON PAUL, right, Rush?
.... Jindal was headed to Disney World yesterday with his family for a vacation....
