Jindal is counting on the fact that for all the hullabaloo he is making about refusing stimulus money, he in fact wants only to refuse $98 million of the $3.8 billion being offered to LA, a paltry two percent.  If he had balls he would be more open about that..  but that would be poor politics.

When it comes down to it, it will be political suicide (not to mention insane) to refuse all of the stimulus money..

if by "best" you mean the loudest or the most obnoxious (the criteria typically applied to repugnicans)..then the answer is prolly no.. that dubious distinction is shared by rudolf ghouliani and sarah fucking palin...

I didn't hear his response but he actually is a creationist and hence a disaster.

Let me begin by saying Jindal - today -  would not be my pick as Republican candidate for the 2012 election. He may of course do stuff to make me change my mind between now and the Republican convention in 2012, but for now he's not my first choice.

Having said that, his rebuttal was not the disaster some are making it out to be. He received some bad advice on how to deliver the rebuttal, sure. But his awkward demeanor in that single performance is as nothing compared to the loopiness Joe Biden displays - and has displayed for three or four decades now - in pretty much every public performance.

As Ed Morrissey says:

Quote:

Bobby Jindal bounced back this morning from a generally-panned performance to an energetic performance on Today. He gives Meredith Viera a slew of specifics, arguing with more intensity about the pitfalls of Porkulus:



I didn’t think he did that bad of a job last night, but this certainly seems more assertive and less “robotic”, as many critics concluded about his performance last night. Michael Kraskin at AOL says the expectations are out of line:

Quote:

The President, Bush or Obama, arrives behind Washington luminaries like the Supreme Court justices and cabinet members. The applause goes on for upwards of 10 minutes. Then they get to deliver a speech in which nearly every sentence gets a reaction from thousand or so assembled audience members. There are cheers, there is anger. Every person in the room is keenly aware that they could be on camera. …

Then, abruptly, cut to the response. The pascal lamb chosen to deliver the opposition response is alone in a mansion. What could be more alienating to the American people?

He or she speaks directly to the camera. There is no chance to make eye contact with a real person. There are no applause, there is no booing. The only people in the room are instructed to stay as quiet as humanly possible. If there are journalists, they are likely projecting an air of skepticism, or even worse, neutrality.




I have a solution for next year’s SOTU speech. Rent a hall and have the speaker ready to deliver his or her remarks to a room full of voters. Frankly, I’m surprised no one has thought to this already.

It's far too early to say who'd be the best choice. The odds are someone will pop up between now and then whom few if any of us are paying any attention to at the moment.

Of those I'm familiar with at this moment, I'd have to say Romney or Palin are the closest to what I would like to see in a US presidential candidate. Pawlenty as well, I guess.

It's never too early to start a perpetual presidential campaign. I'm mean since they're so fucking interesting and all.

Anyone dumb enough to consciously vote away their personal freedoms probably doesn't deserve them in the first place.

No matter which one of the shitty parties you vote for, you're going to be voting against some of your own rights. It just differs a bit which ones you're going to give away.
