Jindal stumped when asked to name new ‘big ideas’ that McMyFriends is proposing

[ruggerson]

This morning on NBC’s Meet the Press, host David Gregory asserted that the Republican Party “used to be the party of big ideas.” Gregory then asked his guest Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), “What’s the big idea Senator McCain is campaigning on?” Jindal responded, “I think there’s several,” but couldn’t provide an answer. Gregory asked again, “Where are the new big ideas of the Republican Party that John McCain is, is championing?” And again Jindal couldn’t provide an answer. Watch it:

2. Jindal is essentially a Medieval sensibility. I'm not sure he even has

a toaster. There is something eerily ancient about him and the way he speaks to gatherings.

If he hadn't declared himself to be an exorcist, I think I might cast him in that role anyway.

3. K&R. McCain' wouldn't be able to answer the question, either. nt

7. He will mumble something about taxes

and fighting evil.

4. I saw that, and was STUNNED! Gregory actually did a followup!

so he's not 100% in the tank

little Bobby didn't expect to have an actual oppositional approach to his RW talking points. he seem quite taken aback

he's usually much smoother, but when you're not floated big fat softballs, it's not as easy as it usually is

right, Bobby?

I so want to hear a dem ask him when the last time was that he performed an exorcism!

5. Cut, taxes, file bankruptcy, start all over again, fresh!

Deadbeats.

6. K&R !! Jindal stymied by the truth-- McBombBomb is all about old ideas.

I like the McMyFriends you used too. That damn "My Friends..." is already so tiring.
