Per our weekend discussion, check out Jindal getting tossed a standard issue, quasi-gotcha curveball during a MSM press avail outside the White House. Result: laced down the line for stand-up, RBI double. He's articulate, knowledgeable, and unwavering. More, please.
2/24 AM UPDATE: WaPo previews tonight's post-Obama speech by Jindal.
Posted by Eric Earling at February 23, 2009 03:50 PM | Email ThisWhy do the to best spoken people in the GOP, Jindal and Huckabee, have to be creationist nutballs?
It's not just a matter of personal belief. This one is hard science. Creationism is just stupid.
Hairy
Posted by: Hairy Buddah on February 23, 2009 07:07 PMBecause beliefs are different from facts -- and creationism is entirely the former, none of the latter. Anyone who thinks this man should be president is kidding themselves, looking too hard for a young Republican to challenge Obama in all the wrong places.
Plus, didn't dude participate in an exorcism or some shit?
Posted by: The King, Elvis on February 23, 2009 08:04 PMThey are also, arguably, some of our best Presidents... Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy, Reagan to name but a few.
And make up somewhere north of 50% of the population of this country- if you believe the polls done on the subject.
Just saying...
Posted by: David on February 23, 2009 08:27 PMApparently we now live in a country where only those religions of compatible with Marxism are acceptable.
Why should I care about Jindal's or Sarah Palin's or even Elvis's beliefs in the creation story of their choosing?
What matters to me in elected government officials is how they manage the affairs of office they are elected to. They don't get to mess with my beliefs and I don't mess with theirs.
Posted by: deadwood on February 23, 2009 08:32 PMWell said!
Posted by: David on February 23, 2009 08:42 PMYup - Bobby Jindal is a hero to the hypocrites who want Iraq to succeed and OUR country to fail. Why is Bobby is too stupid to write a law that susnsets unemployment benefits - like every other governor is doing?
Yup - the republicans continue to be the party of the small minority of fools and flat-earthers who deny, confuse and lie about reality.
Posted by: correctnotright on February 23, 2009 09:13 PMSo far, Bobby hasn't really taken the bait from either side. Let's hope he doesn't and we don't kill off another potential GOP star.
Gramm, Thompson, Palin – I can’t take seeing another potential leader getting strangled in the crib.

God Damn America, laaand that we hate.
Undermine her, then blind her until we become a marxist state.
US of KKK A, don't giver her another day.
As for spending money in Iraq, for the one billionth time, the defense of this country is the number 1 job of the government. Period. The first dollar spent by our government should be to protect us and our interests, spending money in Iraq is not only legitimate, it is just and right.
Paying "artists" to shit on pictures of religious images, is not the role of the government, as well as paying for irresponsible people'smortgages, or their abortions, etc.
So Obama doesn't believe in creationism? Seems kind of odd for such a religious fellow.
Posted by: Palouse on February 24, 2009 09:09 AMFrom what Jindal and his staff calculated, the 2% would have required law changes that would have caused a drain, not a surplus, on the Louisiana economy in the future.
Ever hear of unfunded mandates?
More Jindals are needed to drown the MSM.

Posted by: G Jiggy on February 24, 2009 03:26 PMSeveral things I liked hearing - he addressed nuclear power and more offshore oil drilling to use oil until alternative energy methods are more developed, and that we don't want a Government run health care system, which is what the left is salivating for, like a Pavlovian response - without thinking.
You neo-Marxists are laughable - you will probably be disappointed by Obama because he does fully embrace the leftwingnut (i.e. moonbat) agenda, to the relief of 90% of the rest of us.

Posted by: KS on February 24, 2009 08:21 PMYes, defense is the number one priority - and Bush FAILED. He failed to recognize the threat from al qaida, he failed to get bin laden and he wasted lives and money on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
He gets an F. And he wasted over a trillion dollars while simultaneously causing the worst economy since Hoover.
Hard to beat that for complete and utter failure.
@27: to KS the Jindal fan - Jindal may be smart, but he gave a stupid speech with a terrible delivery. If he is the best the GOP has, well, let's just say he shuld be in the minor leagues. He third rate answer to what SHOULD be done gave him away as an intellectual lightweight. The republican plan???? the one written up at the last minute that actually raised taxes on 40 million americans because they forgot to revise the AMT? That piece of poorly written junk that never saw the light of day? He had NO answer becuase there is NO republican plan except more of the same tax cuts and deregulation that got us into this mess in the first place.
