2. The Republicans seem more like the Borg with each passing day.
You know, the Borg, from that Star Trek program everybody likes. :D

7. and...
Gave up his name, "Piyush," to be "Bobby."

Gave up his religion for Catholicism.

No wonder republicans had a field day with "Barack Hussein." With them it's just as easy as a name change and so much for one's origins or identity. Presto-change-O.

And there was Tiny Teeth Newt, reminding us Jindal has 34 years ahead of him in politics.

What annoyed me most about this piece is CBS's failure to admit what a disaster his response to the SOTU was. His speech was nothing less than an ad reminding us he's no different than any republican: someone who can voice the policies of corporate America.

3. I'll forgive him everything if he agrees to perform an exorcism on the Sham Wow guy.

4. That Sham Wow guy cracks me up
I can't wait for his commercial to come on. Doesn't he also do a commercial for one of those chopper things too? I've only seen it once, but I'm sure it was the same guy.

8. It was a promo to repair his image and promote him for President but leaving out
the truth of his lying about the Katrina story and also his extremist views on abortion and other issues. It was a blatant "Presidential ad".
