President Obama pulled down great ratings last night during his first address to Congress, and I’m sorry to say that I turned the TV off before I saw the Republican response from Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, AKA Jack McBrayer as Kenneth from “30 Rock” (full speech here). It is epically, comically awful. In the above clip, even the commentators from FOX News — FOX NEWS!!! — can’t put a positive spin on it.
Over at MSNBC (below), Rachel Maddow was literally struck speechless by how bad Jindal’s speech was. And there ain’t nothin’ that can shut Maddow up.

What do we really know about “Bobby” Jindal? (wild applause.) Does he believe in the ‘Merica that you and I believe in? (Crowd: No! /lighting torches)
Sorry, just prepping for the 2012 Palin ralllies
Being from Louisiana myself, let me be the first to say . . . sorry you guys. That’s our bad.
Please let Tracy Morgan give the next address – “As part of my platfom – every girl in America is gon get pregnant!”
Also – Fox News makes me angry.
Can’t wait to see how O’Reilly is going to “not spin” this
Its ok Jokerswild…You give us Mardi Gras every year so I think we’ll call it a draw.
So would the real world equivalent be Bobby Jindal joining Tracy Jordan’s posse?
edit: Tracy MORGAN
Same thing though
If you Google “Jindal Kenneth” you get 117,000 hits.
Nice political career you had there, kid. Say hi to the Hill Witch.
As much as he sounds like Kenneth, you have to give the Mister Rogers Remix its due.
Pretty happy my party got the SMART minority guy.
And I would totally do Rachel Maddow. Think I have a shot???
/looks down; sees penis
Damn.
I’ve got something right here that can get Rachel Maddow to shut her mouth. When she sees it, she’ll clam up so tight she’ll look like Neo in the Matrix when Agent Smith made his mouth melt shut.
/points to crotch
//has bag of peanuts sitting in lap
///mistakenly though that Maddow was allergic to peanuts
////what if the peanuts weren’t grown organically? She’s probably be put off by that…
/////oh hell, just whips out penis, pretty sure she won’t put that in her mouth.
Charles Krauthammer: Syndicated Columnist, Fox News Contributor and reanimated corpse said Obama was in a “Reaganesque league” when it comes to giving good speech; is this like Bush league? “Reaganesque” doesn’t mean good, does it?
Did he get to be governor by getting all the questions on a gameshow correctly?
@CrabApple — it was his destiny.
he sounded like shit, but I think he was forced to slow down and sound like a recovering stroke patient by the powers that be. Here is a clip from this morning… too bad first impressions count.

too bad first impressions count.
I’ve seen this guy a lot. The second through tenth impressions aren’t much better.
This idiot actually performed an exorcism. An exorcism.
Way to build a bridge to the 12th century, Republicans!
@ Crabapple and Matt
That sound you hear is me slow clapping. Well played sirs.
Wow, Demos are still blaming the Federal Government for Katrina. I guess the only way to keep people voting fr you, is to keep them stupid.
Socialism, here we come
Funny how so many of you groan and the mention of Fox News, but MSNBC is a 1 millions times worse. But then again, they are on your side, so none of you seem to have a problem with it.
With people like Bathtub boy, no wonder they’re in 3rd place
