Louisiana governor again speaking opposite Obama

WASHINGTON (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will again carry the Republican mantle opposite a primetime appearance from President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Jindal, considered a potential GOP presidential candidate, is slated to headline a major congressional fundraiser that coincidentally fell on the same night as Obama's planned news conference.
Jindal was widely panned for his televised response to Obama's address to Congress last month. This time, he will speak to a live audience of Republican faithful in Washington. And his speech — scheduled well before Obama's news conference — will likely begin before Obama's evening remarks.

I can hardly wait. Jindal has set the bar to zero. Can he top that?

1. Oh good!

[aquart]

6. I expect he's been in Olympic training for his comeback.

[FrenchieCat]

2. Will he mention the volcanos?

And when was there a response to a press conference?
I understand responding to a state of the nation address,
but a press conference? :wtf:

[endarkenment]

5. Its a "PRE-SPONSE"!

The reknucklian party is just making shit up. Since when is the response BEFORE the 'sponse'?

[No Elephants]

21. LOL

[aquart]

7. Who's covering it? There ain't no equal time rules.

[No Elephants]

22. Media don't need equal time rules to cover Repugs. Only to cover Dems.

3. If he doesn't sound like an 8 year old reading "What I did on my summer vacation." they'll say

he was masterful.

[No Elephants]

24. the purpose of his SOTU response was to lower expectations for all his future speeches. Clever!

[Donnachaidh]

4. heh -- who will he be tonight? Barney Fief or Mr. Rogers?

I'm wondering if this guy is just as bright as a rock? He was lambasted last time he did this -- is he going to swing in on spidey-silk, complete with costume? He's going to have to do something monumental to seem like he's NOT the buffoon he acted like last time.

Gotta get me some popcorn...

[No Elephants]

26. His wiki is impressive, but it could be made up from whole cloth for all I know.

[CC]

8. GOP couldn't find

anyone else willing to risk their future income and convinced Bobby the only way he could go was up? It is fun watching the GOP's death throes.

[CoffeeCat]

9. Christmas in March...me love it!!!

Can they please, please, please have Palin speak after Jindal????

The Republican party--the gift that just keeps on giving!

:popcorn:

[bluestateguy]

10. So?

Who cares what they think? We won, they lost.

[BlueJazz]

11. Bobby Jindal and his Wife (and some other unidentified Woman in a red dress)

[Critters2]

32. !

:rofl:

[Towlie]

12. Remember that Tom Tomorrow cartoon?

[The Stranger]

13. This guy is a fucking joke.

Let them trot him out all they want.

He sucks, and Obama will mop the floor with him.

[HopeHoops]

14. YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

:bounce: :party: :toast: :smoke: :fistbump: :headbang: :woohoo: :popcorn:

[Kashka-Kat]

15. WHY? Why have a rebuttal at all? I thought these people didn't like the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE

The media has no obligation to present the opposing side, I thought???

[tomm2thumbs]

16. gonna try to erase the old videotape in people's heads

They don't got much else to put up there, so they figure give the guy a good makeover and try it again

Problem is, the old video is going to be around FOR-EVER! lol

[vinylsolution]

17. Wow, with Jindal, Palin and Bachmann....

... on fire right now, the GOP is just awash with no talent for 2012!

[No Elephants]

27. They love Cantor,. While he is neither female like Hillary/Palin, nor "exotic,' like

Obama/Jindal, he is Jewish, Southern and more credible than Palin or Jindal. Nothing to sneeze at.

Let's hope someone finds his fingerprints somewhere they shouldn't have been.

[Still Sensible]

18. Not quite sure what to make of this.

Did all the other GOP leave the country? die? or did everybody else just turn down the opportunity?

[damntexdem]

19. Will they bill it as "America's Funniest Home Video"?

No, that would be too much truth in labeling.

[No Elephants]

28. LOL. Second time you made me laugh today. That's money.

[Number23]

20. ROFL This time he's speaking BEFORE the President!

That's how you know that HE knows he got is butt spanked the last time.

Somebody must have pulled him aside and said quietly, "if you continue to speak after that man, you will come out the loser EVERY SINGLE TIME."

:rofl:

[tomm2thumbs]

29. is that true?

It could be better for Obama then - because the 'trainwreck' that was Bobby Jindal last time actually distracted from the message of the President. The punchline that was his presentation overtook the President's earlier message. Btw, I think we should name him Bobby-Trainwreck-Jindal, just for truth in advertising sake.

[No Elephants]

30. I have a feeling a different sequence is not going to help him.

[Doctor_J]

23. He's had a month to practice not sounding like a sick, weasly, lying wuss

Not long enough, methinks

[and-justice-for-all]

25. Bring on the stupid..nt

[No Elephants]

31. Hasn't Louisiana been through enough? I guess the GOP is trying to redeem him.

[high density]

33. Pre-butting a press conference?

Umm, did the Dems ever do something like that to *? The GOP seems to be pissed that Obama continues to beat them at the media game.

[rcsl1998]

34. Will 'Bobby' Be Doing A Press Conference?

If not, then WTF is any 'opposition response' time being given for? Or are they just giving 'Bobby' another chance and hoping some network will air it?

[BumRushDaShow]

35. So who is covering Piyush?

:rofl:

[Dappleganger]

36. SNL will cover him on Saturday.

He'll make a great opening skit!

[BumRushDaShow]

38. DUzy!

:rofl:

[Dappleganger]

37. The 'Best' the rethugs can offer.

Is it really possible to fuck yourself TWICE in 3 months???

[MadMaddie]

39. Umm I would rather watch my dog Max lick his invisible balls than

watch BJ give a response.

What?:shrug:

[sofa king]

40. I should make a Mister Rogers mix just for the occasion.

The great Johnny Costa would be amused, I should think.
