Bobby Jindal is an asshole. You're welcome. No need to go into GD.

[Midlodemocrat]

:thumbsup:

Boy, I'm such a giver.

[TZ]

1. I turned off my TV too.

No need to watch and find out for myself the obvious...:)

[Critters2]

2. As someone who does public speaking for a living, I find his speaking

style forced and, well, annoying. And then there's what he's saying.

[Midlodemocrat]

4. He speaks as though he's speaking to Republicans. Oh, wait.

They're used to *. THey're still trying to decipher English. As spoken by Obama. You know, the language of our country.

[leftyclimber]

3. I just switched back to see if the local news was on yet and he was still there.

Back to the Inside the NFL for me....

[deucemagnet]

5. Not much of a speaker is he?

He sounds like he's telling me that I can achieve financial independence by buying real estate with no money down but I must ACT NOW and get his special seminars on DVD.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. He's terrible. No energy at all. It's as though he doesn't believe

what he is saying.... :yoiks:

[deucemagnet]

10. That's kind of the vibe I'm getting.

Overdub some cheesy music and it'll sound just like an infomercial testimonial.

[Fire Walk With Me]

20. Anything like "Ted and Edna's Organ Emporium" from SCTV?

I'm not familiar with the person under discussion.

[crispini]

7. It's the weirdest combination.

He's got that vaguely half-southern half-huckster thing going on and then you look at the screen and it's very cognitive-dissonance-y. How bizarre.

[Midlodemocrat]

8. I didn't realize he was the youngest governor. He's breaking curfew.

If I were him mom I would be pissed that he phoned the speech in. He would seriously not be leaving the house anytime soon.

[Ptah]

11. Young man, go to your room. now!

:applause:

[XemaSab]

9. I sat there for ten minutes

making the JERKING gesture.

Hell yeah.

[arcadian]

12. But, but, but, he's a Road Scholar

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Which Road? The Road to Hell? That sorta fits.

[arcadian]

16. His degree is from a trucking school ad he answered on the back of a pack of matches.

that's what is meant by Road scholar. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Hmmm. He's better educated than he appears.

[graywarrior]

14. I didn't know whether to laugh or get creeped out

I guess we must keep in mind that he WAS speaking to those with less than a 5th grade education.

[Danger Mouse]

15. He really is.

[JackBeck]

17. This is why I love you.

Not only are you a giver, you also make me laugh.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Dude, did you read my Important to Say thread?

about Bullwinkle? Seriously. I lead a very strange life.


But, I did win at Bunko tonight.

:woohoo:


:loveya:

[JackBeck]

22. I didn't get a chance yet.

Still catching up from earlier this evening.

Congrats winning Bunco this evening. I still have no clue what that is.

Hopefully, your reward was an extra bowl of Freetos or speghetti socials or whatever you crazy kids do in the burbs. :)

[Midlodemocrat]

23. $28 bucks in Midlo's pocket, baby!!!!!!!

WHich will come in extremely handy as I hand said money over to BabyM tomorrow to see David Archuleta. :cry:

This whole having kids thing isn't working out the way I planned it.

[JackBeck]

26. Wait, I was under the impression they MADE you money, not cost you money.

Might need to rethink my plans for the future.

[Midlodemocrat]

29. Wait!! What??????? OMFG!!!!!!

:cry:

[SPKrazy]

21. and a nutjob, and an idiot

to go so negative after that fabulously uplifting speech

he was on crack

[MajorChode]

39. Is it any wonder the wingnuts love him?

You don't have to be a nutjob and and idiot to be a Republican, but it sure is a great start.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. I also learned in GD:P today that he has a foreign sounding name so we should make fun of him

[Midlodemocrat]

25. We should make fun of him simply because he's a Republican.

Everything else is just gravy. And not tomato sauce like you Eye-ties call it, REAL gravy, like turkey, chicken, beef.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. Eye-ties?

I'm a fucking Mick. I enjoy the potato in all it's glorious forms. Fried, baked, boiled...

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Haruka is not an Irish name. Do you think I'm stupid?

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. Yes, I do

BTW, this is what I really look like:

[Midlodemocrat]

31. Okay. That puts us on even ground.

and you're not blonde. :eyes:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. I had blonde highlights once, does that count?

My hair is currently black. I just love going grey at 26.

[Midlodemocrat]

33. Oh, man. My first greys were at about 26 and you've seen the results.

My entire head is grey with the exception of two 2 inch stripes on each side of my part. I look like fucking Pepe La Pew in reverse.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

35. My dad had white hair by 30

Started going grey at 13.

My greys come in pure white.

[keroro gunsou]

36. at least you don't look like this haruka...

[Midlodemocrat]

34. Why hasn't this been moved to GD or LBN? This is important shit.

[sasquatch]

37. I'm glad to see that Ph.D is paying off for us Mrs. Obvious

:P

[Midlodemocrat]

38. You couldn't tell by visiting GD. Just trying to save time.

[JeffR]

40. I had to watch.

In fact, I relished each wasted second of my life I spent watching. But your public spirit is nevertheless appreciated.

And yes, he's an asshole. There are probably only 23 other states that would elect such a person to public office.
