Bobby is talking right now. He does talk fast. Here is a quote: "When I say people, I should say households" OK, they just cut him off after that sentence. Earlier I heard him say "fifty-three people were in the hospital, literally overnight" also we are running a marathon so pace yourselves, we are halfway through. If I was there I would say "Don't Panic!" He's jabbering on so fast, sounds like he thinks the sky is falling. Probably doesn't realize he's on national TV. The TV realized it too, he's just having a minor panic attack. TV realized he's talking to HIS people, so they cut away, nothing the rest of us need to know. I would rather hear Haley Barbour drawl, "You boys know what to do, git your chainsaws and lets get the roads cleared first, ok let's git er done" Oh, wait, you guys are probably having the news conference BELOW SEA LEVEL. I think maybe if I was governor I would say "Why don't reconvene on a little HILL somewheres, put our minds at ease." Then I set a spell, and thank a little bit, maybe rethank the fact the city was built below sea level. If it was, NoLa, Nederland you wouldn't have to worry. But you boys problem is staying safe requires major monetary expenditures, and when it comes to money, you boys rep has to do with aluminium foil and freezers. I don't mean to say you're all crooked. But look at Obama, didn't he throw $100MM away for Bill Ayers in the Annenberg Project? Where did that money go? And how about that Alaska crowd? Weren't they like doing Home Improvements? I remember way back in late 2001, they drug out an audio tape of Ollie NOrth from way way back when, and he was being asked in front of a congressional committee, "Why are we spending XXX,XXX dollars on govt. tab for home improvements at Your House for 'security'?" His answer, was "Well, this is this dude named Obama bin Biden, (or Osama ben hiden, or someting like that!) I heard that on the radio and on the TV, and I thought , that boy know what was coming, then later I heard that that was a doctored tape and he really said some other terrist' name. That was just the beginning of my edjucation of how you can't even believe it , even if you was there! So I would say "Chill Out, Bobby Jindal, you boys got lucky". If I wanted to make him jump, maybe I would just YELL, "Hell, Here Comes Hanna!, 'nother Damn Cane Comin'!"
