I am beyond expecting anything but fake but accurate reporting from CBS News. For that matter, why would it even be news that Rachael Maddow and Chris Matthews didn't love a Republican resonse to President Obama. But it annoys me to see a journalist pretty much accuse someone of incompetance, without doing enough of his job to know that Williams (a super smart guy and close friend of Justice Thomas) is the Fox's in house black liberal, and Nina Easton wrote a sympathetic biography of John Kerry. The first Fox quote supplied was taken out of context from Brit Hume. The second one was taken out of context from Easton, and she was mostly charitable to Jindal. The rest were from Williams, and I agree that he hated the speech, as expected.

Leftists are children. Vapid and nasty.

Jindal did not deliver a good speech even though he had a decent written speech. I understand Repubs being a bit bummed.

But why is the liberal press tripping over themselves to criticize the speech? Perhaps they are scared of him in spite of an off day. And maybe we should not write him off for a bad day either.

Leftists are children. Vapid and nasty.

They know they have to destroy this guy quickly, because he's much more dangerous to Obama than someone like Palin. This has been their response to every major Republican political figure since Nixon.

It wasn't just leftists. It was folks who would have loved a Jindal slam dunk. They didn't get it. And Rush was simply saying what he said to get press. He got it.

I too was expecting something very Reaganesque. It didn't happen. And that's too bad.

Lovely couple; who do the kids look like?

[pointsal]

Face it. Nina Easton and her hubby are in the bag for the Mittster. She should declare herself as unreservedly biased. Nina is just another big-haired blond talking head.

[skeeter]

Thats why I believe the GOP should target the media before the democrat party.

Its the media that make the buffoons and clowns in the democrat party look competent. Their party would immediately collapse without the cover.

I’ve come to realize that the MSM’s preoccupation with Jindal’s delivery is a smokescreen for not spending any time criticizing and analyzing the substance of Zeros’s speech.

[editor-surveyor]

Jindal is a Rhodesian, and needs to be written off completely until he supplies some bonafide evidence to counter that ugly mark.

His speech indicates his ability to function under fire, not anything anout his politics, and thus is also a huge negative in his column.

[presidio9]

If Obama’s cronies have their way, there will no longer be a conservative media with which to attack the (liberal) mainstream media.

"They know they have to destroy this guy quickly, because he's much more dangerous to Obama than someone like Palin."

That bit of comic relief will at least make the evening a jovial one!

Absolutely in ANY war the first target is communications.

Sorry, too cryptic. Was it a referrence to Bill Clinton?

[NickFlooding]

This is all MSM spin continuing what they did in the campaign. Jindal did a great job and they wont color my personal thoughts. They can say what they want me to believe but I'll believe the truth anyway.

[mkcc30]

The time is just about past for words and speeches.

[italianquaker]

It suits there purpose in order to deflect attention from odumbos lies or ignorance about the invention of automobiles

[presidio9]

That bit of comic relief will at least make the evening a jovial one!

In your mind Sarah Palin is the greater threat to Obama. What's your evidence?

[editor-surveyor]

Too cryptic for you?

A plain statement for those that understand history, and globalist politics.

>>Jindal is a Rhodesian, and needs to be written off completely until he supplies some bonafide evidence to counter that ugly mark.<<

Is he? I’m reasonably sure I read he was born in Louisiana.

>>His speech indicates his ability to function under fire, not anything anout his politics, and thus is also a huge negative in his column.

Agreed.

But I do find it interesting how intent on the speech the MSM is to jump on the speech. During the Clinton admin, did they ever give a darn about the Republican response?
