Bobby Jindal panned

February 28, 2009 2:29 pm

President Obama gave a speech to Congress this past week on the fledgling economy. Interestingly, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who gave the Republican response, was the bigger story. Viewing Jindal as a rising star in the GOP, fans had high hopes for his primetime address. Alas, his performance was widely panned, even by Republicans.

Scientists also sounded off when Jindal mocked volcano monitoring, something many feel is a vital safety measure. Adding insult to injury, various blogs pointed out that Jindal seemed to sound exactly like Kenneth Parcell, the page from NBC’s “30 Rock.” Gee whiz, that’s a low blow.
