Thursday Morning Diversion: The Jindal-Kenneth Connection

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Feb 26, 2009 5:00PM

Yeah, we're a little slow on the uptake here at Chicagoist sometimes, but at least we're finally caught up. Yesterday, our commenters shared the view of many over the interwebs that during the GOP response on Tuesday night, Gov. Jindal sounded an awful lot like Jack McBrayer, a.k.a., Kenneth the Page on NBC's 30 Rock. Luckily, folks on YouTube have gotten in on the act, as has McBrayer himself, who made an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. (In Jindal's defense, having seen him tussle through several elections during my Louisiana days, I can confirm that Jindal has never been known for his oratory prowess.)
