Bobby Jindal: It’s Fargin War

The Gulf Oil spill is a tragedy and colossal #epicfail that we as a country will be dealing with for some time. I do have to say though that, purely from a political stand point, dealing with the crisis has given Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal another chance in the spotlight.

Jindal was one of the young conservative leaders many of us had hung all of our hopes and dreams on…until his debut on the national stage and that absolute disastrous response when President Obama’s addressed the nation for the first time. It was so disastrous, we’ve haven’t heard much from since then, which was unfortunate because his voices is one we could have used all throughout 2009.

That was then. Now, while people argue over whether it’s worse to play golf or go yachting, Gov. Jindal is declaring war. So sayeth the Gov. in a local editorial

Bobby Jindal Hearts…ObamaCare?

It’s funny, for a while it seemed like I was blogging aboot Bobby Jindal every other day, yet hasn’t had anything to say aboot him since March. After that disastrous performance giving the response to the Presidents SOTU (yes, I can call id disastrous and still be a conservative), he seemed to have stayed out of the spotlight since then.

That’s disappointing because his is a voice we as conservatives definitely need as part of the health care reform debate. His entire background revolves around medicine and the medical industry. He is to Republicans for health care what Mitt Romney is to the economy and Sarah Palin is to jobs. So when he finally spoke up aboot health care, I was excited.

I wasn’t quite expecting this though…

Romney-Jindal: Is This the Ticket?

For as much as I criticize 2012 speculation, I just can’t resist 2012 speculation. Especially when two of our favourite “speculative stocks” are going to be hanging out together, raising money, and having people like me wonder “is this the ticket?”

Take it away, Ben Smith

Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom confirms that the former Massachusetts governor is helping put together a Boston fundraiser for the Louisiana governor and a possible rival in 2012.

“Governor Romney wants Republicans to succeed, and he’s busy raising money and supporting candidates. He wants to do what he can to help Bobby Jindal, and so he agreed to help sponsor a fundraiser for him in Boston,” emails Fehrnstrom, who added that one of Romney’s top fundraisers, Steve Roche, is organizing the April 16 event.

Bobby Jindal Crazy

“I know Bobby Jindal, and that guy wasn’t Bobby Jindal.” - Kathleen Parker

Everyone is done going Bobby Jindal crazy. It’s all anyone seems to be talking aboot. A lot of the traffic this blog has been getting for the past week is from people searching the words “Bobby Jindal,” plus there’s been an uptick in racist comments from open minded and tolerant progressives comparing him to Apu from “the Simpson’s” (I delete most of them, like I do the racist comments they post aboot Michael Steele), which of course they do anonymously from behind their keyboards.

I’m over the fact that it was one bad speech that I think a lot of us (me included) over-hyped amongst our selves. He sounded much better the next day on “the Today Show,” there was a great profile of him on “60 Minutes,” and even Kathleen Parker (who lately has been sounding like a complete dingbat) suggested we all take a step back and slow our role a little.

So sayeth Ms. Parker…

I Just Can’t Quit Bobby Jindal

“At this point in the election cycle, no Republican can be considered more than the flavor of the month. But [Bobby Jindal] is an appealing one.” - Michael Gerson

There’s nothing wrong with being honest that that Bobby Jindal gave a bad speech. And I’m not talking aboot the activists like MSNBC or HuffPo; they decided it was a bad speech before he gave it. I mean from actual conservatives – the ones who will actually support him – the speech was universally panned. It’s okay to admit that, it’s not the end of the world, and as you see in the video at the end Gov. Jindal bounced back just fine the next morning on “The Today Show.”

I think it was a combination of over hype and an overwhelming desire amongst the right to find “our Obama” to where a single slip up seemed like the end of the world, and that’s just silly. It’s barely 2009 and there are tons of Jindal’s, Palin’s, Romney’s, Newt’s, Sanford’s, Pawlenty’s, Cantor’s, DeMint’s, Coburn’s, and others that could step up, we have time to let our leaders develop.

And as Michael Gerson points out, there’s A LOT more to Bobby Jindal than just one speech…

About that Bobby Jindal Speech

Gov. Bobby Jindal gave his overly hyped response to President Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress last night. The reviews are…well, I think overwhelming is the first world that comes to mind. To paraphrase the immortal words of Mel Brooks, “it stunk on ice.”

So yeah, I was as disappointed as the rest of us who was looking for him to “hit one out of the park” and unofficially announce his candidacy for President. After sleeping on it, there are three points I’d like to touch on…

1. It was bad, like, really bad. It was a bad speech. He’s not being “Palinized.” People aren’t criticizing him because they’re afraid of the threat he brings. It was just a badly performed speech. ‘Nuff said.
