The Exorcist

Well I saw Bobby Jindal for the first time, and while he seemed a lot brighter than the Saracuda, I still wasn't terribly impressed - he just trotted out the same old failed Republican policies and repeated some of the same old Republican lies - like the story about the Maglev from Disneland to Las Vegas.

The camera didn't do him any favors by consistently cutting off parts of his rather low hand gestures - his hands seemed to be some kind of frenetic fish trying to jump up on the screen but never quite making it. He's no orator yet, with a rather fast and uninflected delivery, but at 36 he has plenty of time to learn.

On the positive side, I never got the impression I listening to a wacko like Palin or a dolt like Bush.
