Oh My God
He was reacting to the necktie. Either that or it was a moment of pure clairvoyance. I don't know who said it, but tell the truth, don't you think that's what everyone was thinking by the end of Jindal's speech?

This guy is a Rhodes scholar, and an "up & coming star of the Republican Party." Thank GAWD!
PALIN-JINDAL 2016!!!
(Everyone in Bobby Jindal's family works for or with the government. They do slimy stuff, too.)

If he is the best they've got, I think we don't have to worry too much.

He has a weird religious thing going on, too. And his family's jobs will be an embarrassment, too. Speaking of which, he has evidenced embarrassment over his dark-skinned Hindu immigrant parents. He's a gold mine! For the Dems.

I read your link. Astounding isn't it how these small gov GOPers are always deep into the public trough.

It's like Reagan, John Wayne and that whole crowd who avoided military service in WWII, then became super-patriots after the war by ratting out their combat-veteran lefty friends who had survived the war, for doing the same harmless things they had done themselves back in the 30's: Marching, protesting and joining left-wing organizations.
Or the male fundamentalist homophobes who cruise airport men's toilets for sex. Or the right-wing radio hosts who are addicted to hillbilly heroin.
They're all just covering up for something. An immigrant whose Mom came here for free medical care at the last minute before his birth, and then got turned down, gave birth to an anti-government conservative. He becomes a hero to the cons despite the fact that his very life story is one of their nightmares: Illegal aliens smuggling babies in their wombs to score freebies in America. Of COURSE he would have to become one of them, for CYA, an even bigger one.

I find him very creepy. When you benefit in your personal life from liberal policies of the past and then actively seek to deny that same chance to those that come after you, it just seems so greedy and mean. Malkin is the same way. They remind me of each other.
The tie looked even better in HD. All I could think of is how I need a haircut.
It's moments like that when I'm glad I'm so low tech that I don't have HD. I don't think I've ever even seen a program in that format. I doubt if I'll like it.
Of course, I still miss vinyl records. I loved the scratch, crackle and pop. CDs homogenized the sound so much.

TUBES! I want my TUBES back!

Oddly, I used to love to look inside the old teevee and watch those tubes glow.
There's a saying still current with older hams and radio collectors: Real radios glow in the dark." Some high power RF amplifiers use tubes - they're cheaper than solid state amps and some musicians still prefer vacuum tube audio amps, for some reason. I have built some 1920's style radios with old tubes -- you can still get almost all of them -- but I'm a nostalgia buff.
I used to have a serious collection of antique radios and equipment -- I still have some of it and I remember showing off a 1936 Philco console to my mother who exclaimed that this is what a radio should sound like, which of course meant virtually nothing above 8 KHz and bass resonance at about 200 Hz. High fidelity always sounded "tinny" to her.
What sounds right has more to do with what you're used to hearing than other things. That has something to do with preference for analog recordings.
A lot of objection in the early days of digital recording was all about the record companies still using the RIAA curve when it wasn't needed. It produced very harsh and unnatural recordings.
Actually once you go HD, it's very hard to go back to watching blurry pictures with bad color. Watching Obama a while back on MSNBC, he seemed to be wearing a red tie. Switching to CNN HD I found it was a polka dot tie.
Real radios glow in the dark... I like that saying. As far as HD, considering how awful the news is, I'm not sure I wouldn't still prefer a blurry picture. But I'm not really a high tech kind of gal anyway.
"But I'm not really a high tech kind of gal anyway."
I remember my aunt Pauline. as late as the 1940's she still didn't believe in the telephone and although her son insisted she have one, she hid it inside a paper mache' globe made for the purpose.
My parents were the last people in America to get color TV for the same reason. ;-)
Of course if you want a real blury picture, try Fox.
LOL Fogg. If it wasn't for your comments, I might never laugh on any given day....
