David Brooks, a conservative New York Times columnist who has criticized aspects of the stimulus plan, nonetheless called Jindal's arguments "insane" and tone-deaf given the dire economic challenges the country faces. "To come up in this moment in history with a stale, 'Government is the problem, you can't trust the federal government' is just a disaster for the Republican Party," Brooks said on PBS' "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer." "It's not where the country is, it's not where the future of the country is." Say what you will about Jindal, there is nothing more insane than calling David Brooks a conservative. The guy is a totally flaming liberal. NYT bullshit liberal. Does anyone really care what he has to say?

Fox News commentator Juan Williams focused on Jindal's delivery. "It came off as amateurish, and even the tempo in which he spoke was singsongy," Williams said, adding that the content of the speech was "very simplistic and almost childish." Never ever thought I would agree with a Fox News commentator........this was exactly my reaction. At first I thought he had written his speech as a poem......that's how bizarre I found his delivery. And as for the content, not one bit of vision.......just the same ole, same ole. And he's a rising star in the GOP? Scary.
