Update: Who'll Sue Jindal First? Jay Leno, Chris Matthews, Alan Colmes or Cenk?
Edited on Sat Mar-28-09 03:40 PM by ihavenobias
As you may have read, a used various celebrity and non-celebrity voices without permission (see subject line, although I'd also watch the video because I didn't list them all). I found this video and sent it to Cenk of The Young Turks, and he was amused to say the least. Why? Well, to say that his words were taken out of context would be a gross understatement.

The TYT audio in the Jindal clip comes from . As you can see, yes, Cenk did mention Jindal's scholastic accomplishments, there's no question about that. The only problem is they didn't include Uygur's conclusion, as discussed in :

Do I appear to be a big supporter of Bobby Jindal? The ad took my quote on how Jindal got accepted into all of these great schools and high positions in government. What it left out was the part where I said that was surprising given that he is otherwise, "Coo coo for Cocoa Puffs." How much more out of context could my quotes have been?


To my knowledge, there is still no word from the group that put together the Jindal 2012 video, . And Bobby Jindal hasn't said a word. So far only :

A group calling itself “America for Change” cobbled together a bouquet to Jindal that gives the impression that Chris Matthews, David Gregory, Chris Wallace, Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, Uygur, and I all endorse a Jindal run for president in 2012.

I can hear myself asking Jindal, “Do you see the Republican Party fighting for, a face for, a direction?” As that is totally out of context, I have no idea what that question means. All the sound bites, in fact, are taken out of context, and the implication is that all the words are some kind of endorsement for Jindal.


This begs the question, how desperate are Jindal supporters that they have to use a bunch of quotes out of context to support a presidential run? And I wonder if this will be used to further mock Jindal () should he continue with his presidential aspirations?

At any rate, I think we can all agree that Jindal/Palin 2012 (or Palin/Jindal 2012) would be incredibly entertaining.

6. Hee hee. I'm not far behind.
Although that Bickerson thing would work to describe the McCain/Palin fiasco too.

I agree.

24. It would instantly make the Daily Show and Colbert Report 10 times funnier.
And they're already hilarious, so that's saying something.

11. The corporatocracy does not sue Pukes for such things.
Just look at Talon News. They were probably the most prolific plagiarism chop shop in the history of the nation and you never heard about anybody suing them.
