I like that.

Reminds me of the MAD Magazine What Me Worry Guy

But yeah, he's a dead ringer for Alfred E. Newman. "What, Me Worry?"

georgie bush reminded me of him more

Of Bush made to look like Alfred E. Newman.

One should be made of this guy.

for younger DUers, Goldsboro did this imitation of a cricket chirping-- or a frog or something-- he'd do it like a ventriloquist when on talk shows and everyone would look around to see where it was coming from. Hilarious. The first couple times he did it on Mike Douglas, at least. Anyway Jindal's voice and hairstyle reminds me of Goldsboro and I could just imagine him trying it in an interview as an evasive maneuver...

Larry O'Donnell: "Gov Jindal, how do you defend Mitt Romney's record of vulture capitalism while the nation is recovering from a near depression owing to exactly that sort of practice?"
Jindal: {cricket imitation}
O'Donnell: "What the hell was that?"
Jindal: "I don't know but I was about to say {cricket imitation}"
O'Donnell: "What's going on there, Governor?"
Jindal: "I-- "
(Lather, Rinse, Repeat)

I'd completely forgotten that tune. Thanks!

Mr. Offshore/Outsource Romney has NO answer to this, none at all and the Dems/Obama campaign know it.

I love it and Governor O'Malley was excellent at emphasizing the REAL difference between Mr. Offshore/Outsource and President Obama.

Even that POS Rendell, the MSNBC fave, claimed it was unfair and wrong to attack Romney on Bain.

Those few on the left who recently chose to 'decry' pointing out Mr. Outsource/Offshore's company's atrocious history have zippered their lip now that it is clear the facts around this plus the secret accounts offshored by the Romney family is making a definite impact.

Last week and all this weekend, the Dems hammered him hard so it seems they ARE using it.

I wonder why, though. Perhaps the Blue Dog segment of the party expected millions from Wall?

Between Caymens, Swiss accounts, Libor, and a $100,000,000 IRA, this shit is beginning to stick.

Start 'defining' Mr. Outsource/Offshore too soon and it doesn't resonate, the same if it's done too late. I think the timing is right now and it IS resonating. I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg re the Dems, come September/October the REAL hammering will take place.

obvious avoidance of the question, he sounded like the last 10 seconds of a car commercial on TV, when the spokesperson starts talking extremely fast in order to gloss over the uncomfortable details that the company doesn't want you to focus on.

the Carfax!

thanks for posting this

because he's taxing the poor and middle class for everything but breathing

Thanks!

We are # 1 in education. His efforts increased insurance coverage in this state. He has much to be proud of and I am proud of him and will be happy to work on his future campaigns. He speaks the truth!

Baffling. A post right out of free republic still stands.

Who do you suppose is forced to pick up the tab for the lost revenues?

http://www.cnbc.com/id/48120446

I think Maryland is 5th in population exodus since 2009

In fact I got a reduction on my property tax bill. Epic fail republican.

Sorry 'bout that bro!

and when property values decline your property taxes will go down as long as the county hasn't raised the rates, right?

MD just passed a new tax on households making 150k a year, which in the DC metro area isn't that much money once you factor in home prices, commuting costs, daycare etc

Wing talking points in your attacks on O'Malley and the great state of MD. You will not find truth on Fox news or even a CNBC reporter who quotes an anti tax group's statements as fact.

and those of us who are Dems and MDers (when we're in the US at all) are very proud to have him.

You must not be either a Dem or a MDer to come out with such an off base remark.

And to say it you'd better produce some links that demonstrate the truth of what you are saying.

I think you must be mistaking Maryland for some other state.

I work with several people who specifically moved to Maryland from other states for the job opportunities. Low taxes don't mean much when you're not earning a paycheck in the first place.

The roads here are better than other states I've lived in, the schools are the best in the nation, we have solid environmental protection policies, and four of our counties made the list of the most prosperous counties in the nation:

Governors of other states only dream of doing as well as Maryland.

they're 5th when it comes to population exodus
And who do you think is left to pick up the 1.7 billion dollar tab when the rich flee the state along with employers?

http://www.cnbc.com/id/48120446

And I live in Loudoun VA, I know that 150k household income is middle class in this area. Upper middle but not rich by any stretch of the imagination

You trust an anti-tax group to tell you the truth, do you? Also in that article:

as a means to raise revenue.

You mean the way almost every state has gambling or lottery or horseracing or state-owned liquor stores? Not exactly an indication a state is on the ropes.

horse racing is what it is, the lottery is a defacto tax on the poor, who are the largest group playing the lottery

Maryland is circling the drain, as evidenced by the advent of in-state gambling.

Both states have gambling, lotteries, and horse-racing to one degree or another, so your chosen metric for gauging economic prosperity really proves nothing, except that you apparently have a major grudge against your neighboring state.

virginia has one horse racing track that's been in the state for 50 years

I can see how you'd be unable to see the difference

You are making things up.

Are you saying that casino gambling in a state means that its governor cannot talk about Romney's offshore accounts?

Gambling is used by loads of jurisdictions to raise revenue. Look at all the lotteries.

I would invite everyone to read TBMASE's original post in this thread and then read his 'facts'

when coupled with the local piggyback rates, puts MD in the top 10 nationally for tax rates.

Now, who is it that's paying the majority of sales taxes in a state? The rich or the poor and middle class?

The state is turing to table games where? Baltimore City and PG County are the big ones.
Now why aren't the putting these casinos in Montgomery County where the money is?

Why do you continue to lie?

even though the poor are far more likely to play the lottery than wealthy people are. Yeah, you're right, what was I thinking by looking at how shitty the area is around the casinos in Jersey and Charles Town are. The local communities are in ruins while large casinos are being built only a block away.
I'm sure the folks in Baltimore City and PG County will enjoy all the spoils of casino gaming they've seen from the state lottery system

Seems like a pretty nice place to me. Where do you come up with this crap?

Now you seem to have changed the subject.

Did you read that at the Cave or something?

as a means to increase revenue.

...as a means to maintain the best schools in the country and a road system far superior to Virginia's.

bless your heart.

So, the population growth must be from discarded Imaginary Friends...........

And doesn't back down. We need more of him!

though I have read that O'Malley supports 3rd Way policies, still, I relate to his clear and bold support of the party and the President.

"Romney fluffer Jindal" = SERIOUSLY EGREGIOUS VISUAL

Because he might have to pay taxes to build our bridges, fight our wars, or rescue our drowning people.

So Un-American, is this the guy all those pretend patriots are going to vote for? Of course, a lot of them own foreign made
Firearms, so.........

out to get bagels and coffee for the real adults on the show...

This line of attack is hitting Romney where it hurts. I can't wait to see where it goes from here!

K&R!

like O’Malley. He's great

he as a future in national politics. Maybe VP down the road and then President perhaps?

It's impossible to put a favorable spin on Romney's offshoring of jobs and lack of faith in America when he invests his money in Switzerland. The best Jindal could do is say that Obama has never run a business. It was a pathetic defense but I don't think it would be possible to defend the indefensible. Maybe he should just start spouting someone's name continuously during interviews like Joe Walsh.

I wish that whenever these rethugs spewed the "He never ran a business" bullshit, the Dem would just say, "So what?" I am so bloody sick of that line. The government isn't a fucking business, and it's well past time that people understood that. Nor, is a business a democracy, and it cracks me up that these allegedly democracy-loving jerkwads can't let that notion into their thick skulls. With those pea-brains of theirs, it's not like there isn't plenty of room there.

I want it run like a frikkin' ** GOVERNMENT!!** That's what it IS! It's not a for-profit enterprise, ferchrissakes! It needs to be run in a way that it does the job it's supposed to do--to protect our rights, our persons, and our property, and to build the kind of society that people want. That is all.

...I fucking can't stand this walking piece of splooge. Lurch the Fucking Stiff^TM is the fucking anti-American, won't fight, won't invest, won't work, won't have anything to do with real Americans. He ran away from Vietnam to sit it out in France as a fucking, magic underwear missionary; fucking offshored jobs to India; and fucking raised five fucking whelps with his horsey dressage wife, who during the last decade of combat sat on the fucking sidelines.

This Koooooccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhsucker deserves the scorn of every decent American and any fuckwit who votes for this motherfucking assclown is nothing more than a hater of America to his or her core.

I fucking despise this shitstain.

....and don't hold fucking back next time!

for the guy who keeps the Jindal family employed in Mumbai.

I wish I had a governor as governor instead of Jindal. Bluster, fluster - he flubbed BP and parlayed Roveian tactics post-Katrina into his incompetence. Horrible, horrible governor - forget his lunatic philosophy. He's made things a lot worse here.

Louisiana has a governor? Bobby-on-the-Road Jindal spends less time in Baton Rouge than Romney spent in America when subject to the Vietnam draft. His billis in the Louisiana legislature are written by ALEC, the words that come out of his mouth are given to him by the Republican party, and, ironically, he has been sucking off of the government teat since he was a pup and has never had a job outside of government---the same thing he denounces Obama for.

He sucked up to Perry---until that imploded. Now he is sucking up to Romney. But in Louisiana, who cares? The Republican morons in Louisiana voted for Santorum because Gingrich wasn't hardcore enough. So Jindal is preaching to a choir that is even less-informed than he is.

Major FAIL

O'Malley, I mean.

for O'Malley.

Jindal is far out of his range and I'd not material for the state of Louisiana. People voted for him because he had R behind his name and he is anti-abortion. He says Obama never ran a business and Jindal has never needed an abortion but he thinks him able to run on anti-abortion platform. And besides his lack of ability his parents was not citizens of the USA when he was born, the birther therory.

At least I have someone I am happy about voting for.
Him, and Donna Edwards.

My husband and I retired and moved to SouthCarolina 5 years ago. We love the weather and the community we live in. But, you get what you pay for. The schools here are horrible,the political corruption and ineptness are unbelievable. No parks,unemployment is high and don't get me started on the politics. Suffice it to say that Joe Wilson, who called Obama a liar is my congressman!

He's a bit of alright he is.

Makes me wish I could trade the governor of my current state (Florida) with that of my native state (Maryland), except I wouldn't want to wish Rick Scott on my worst enemy, let alone the state of my birth.

I want this man at the top of the ticket. We need a guy that can spank with facts like he is using a paddle.

If our biggest problem is messaging, O'Mally goes a long way towards curing that problem. Time to get a bit rougher with the dialog.

...as our governor in trade. I suspect he would end up as crab bait at the bottom of the Chesapeake.

ABC - that gets it in front of low information voters who won't go to MSNBC and watch Bashir, Maddow, Sharpton and see how they eviscerate these people.
