Bobby Jindal's "aw shucks" response had me laughing almost non-stop. What? That wasn't a stand up bit? Oh, well in that case it was horrible. I kept waiting for a story about how his gran-pappy learned to drive on on the ol' whiskey circuit during prohibition.
Seriously, how many people who care enough to watch tonight's speech and follow-up Republican yarn spinnin' can take anything the Repubs say seriously? Holding up Louisiana as a shining example of American gosh darn you-can-do-itveness kind of falls apart when you look at Louisiana's state ranking for education, healthcare, per capita income, etc.
After the final "Americans Can Do Anything" I literally expected fake wings to pop out of Bobby's suit to lift him up towards the ceiling while "Proud to be an American" blared in the background. If this guy and Sarah Palin ever debate eachother they must be introduced with the dueling banjo music from Deliverance.
