Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (R) was chosen to deliver the GOP response to President Obama’s address to congress tonight. He’s young, he’s arguably more cool than Fred Thompson and he’s measurably less white – which is obviously all that the surviving Republican leadership has learned from recent political events – so he was the obvious choice as the GOP’s answer to Obama.
His challenge was to follow an inspirational speech delivered by a popular president during a time of great national stress and not sound like a total Buzz Killington.
Nice try, Gov. Jindal. Thanks for coming out – but you can go home, now.
