This is the Republicans' new rising star?? Bobby Jindal's response to Obama's speech was so bad it was embarrassing. Shorter version: Government was a miserable failure under George W. Bush, so government will always be a miserable failure. And tax cuts are the solution to every freaking problem!
Jindal's delivery was so atrocious that it was difficult to pay attention to his actual points. In a word, right-wing bloggers are calling Jindal's rebuttal -- awful. People are comparing Jindal's performance to 30 Rock's Kenneth. In the words of Fox News' Juan Williams:
It came off as amateurish, and even the tempo in which he spoke was sing-songy. He was telling stories that seemed very simplistic and almost childish.
And Matthew Yglesias:
Bobby Jindal apparently believes it’s appropriate to address the citizens of the United States in a tone that suggests we’re all nine years old.
Watch it and cringe:
