   I like Barbara Boxer’s hairdo.

     trying to make up for your inexcusable absence of Oscar commentary this year?

       True, no post-Oscar gown reviews.

   Is it me or does Bobby Jindal sound an awful lot like Kenneth the intern on 30 Rock?

     Yes.  I made it about five seconds, literally, into Jindal’s response before I burst out laughing.  “Kenneth the Page” hit me immediately.

   reading my Facebook comments ripping on Jindal just about made me die laughing.  

   Couple of good ones:

   He didn’t perform an exorcism, so you didn’t miss anything exciting…

   …not liking Mr. Jindal’s Neighborhood so much.

   He has a feel of the huckster about him. Like a snake oil salesman.

   Still pushing the crap about the Disney/Vegas rail line.

     In the 2012 GOP primaries Charlie Crist will bitch slap this guy all the way back to Baton Rouge…he was worse than awful, he sounded like he was talking to a 3rd grade class.

     He’s toast.

       After 8 years of Bush, the GOP’s figured out that talking to the public as if we’re still learning subtraction works out very well.

   Bobby Jindal is just bizarre. I literally couldn’t look  — caught in that very strange place between a cringe of nausea & a Mr. Rogers flashback (if Mr. Rogers looked just like a tiny, foetal Bobby Jindal with a little tiny suitcase):

   ‘Can you say government is the problem, boys & girls?’

   I felt just like a barnyard chicken at the wrong end of some adolescent farm boy’s idea of hypnosis.
   I don’t want to go through that ever, ever again.

     Actually on this one

     we were the farm boy

     the talking chicken

     hypnotized us

     in a kafka sort of way

     with his lunacy.

   MSNBC straight up clowned him.

   And I couldn’t blame them.

   Hilarious, I tell you.

   Hilarious.

   ‘Kenneth Jindal’ is what Andrew Sullivan called him. OMG, if SNL runs with that, it will be hilarious.

   here’s the video of the reaction on MSNBC.  Rachel Maddow is speechless and Chris Matthews goes off:
