Bobby Jindal

I really don't like this guy. Watching his response to Obama's Congressional Address was outright painful. Nobody wants to follow an Obama speech, but that sing-songy load of crap was pathetic. You can watch the full video here. Just watch the first 2 minutes to get the point. This isn't just because I love Obama; Jindal's speech has been practically universally slammed.

Also, something that I noticed live last night, and found terribly funny, has been picked up by the online community: As MSNBC cuts away to Jindal's live speech somebody didn't kill (we have to assume) Keith Olbermann's mic quick enough. Listen to the very clear, and disgusted sounding, "oh, God..." as Jindal approaches the mic.

UPDATE: It was actually Chris Matthews who uttered the "Oh, God" and he doesn't seem to care. Good for him.

Lastly, I'm relatively new to following the world of politics, but it seemed like Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, stood up quite often during last night's address. I found one site reporting that she stood up 34 times during the 1 hour speech. Hemroids?

If SNL is live this week they were just given 2 early Christmas presents.
