Bobby Jindal kinda tanked in his rebuttal to Obama’s “State Of The Union” the other night. I didn’t think the performance was horrible, but Jindal came across as painfully-awkward, particularly when compared to the suave and ever-sure Obama (by the way, this is a problem Republicans will have for the next eight years). And the content of Jindal’s speech didn’t quite register anything close to a knockout blow. While perfectly in sync with my views in spots, the same old “government is bad, people are good” schtick just ain’t gonna cut it. The GOP needs some fresh thinking – and some new leaders.
What I do love about Jindal’s performance is that it revived some old news clippings about the Louisiana governor, including a few on his religious beliefs that I found particularly fresh. Click here and here for some color. I’ll give you a hint – they involve an exorcism. That should do plenty to tickle your fancy.
