Thankfully, this was liveblogged by Suspect Device. And no, Jindal didn’t flat-out deny anything regarding those VP rumors. Commentary here, here, and here.
I think he did a good job. (Seriously, I’m not snarky about everything). As Oyster and The Reduct Box point out, he managed to compare McCain to Sadie Hawkins, which is unintentionally funny.
But geez, Jay Leno is really lame.
Update: Jindal: “I’ve got the job I want.”
“Bobby Jindal is a rock star, there’s no questioning that, but he’s the Hannah Montana of politics. Everybody is clamoring to touch this new idol, but nobody knows if he has the staying power of Led Zeppelin or if he’s destined to crash and burn like Britney Spears.”
– Avman, Louisiana Conservative
“Much more devious, and more characteristic of a liberal media that has never let the truth get in their way of manipulating public opinion, is the possibility that the liberal media is trying to sabotage the political career of the most popular, most capable, most honest and most conservative Governor in Louisiana history (by floating his name as a Vice Presidential candidate).”
– 4UnionParish, Louisiana Conservative, “Stealing Governor Bobby Jindal or Destroying His Political Career”
Seriously, 4UnionParish’s piece on Jindal’s Vice Presidential possibilities may be (unintentionally) one of the funniest political blogs this year, with lines like this:
I think everyone should take note of who continues to fan these VP flames. They will not be a friend of Governor Bobby Jindal and they certainly are not a friend of Louisiana.
Basically, 4UnionParish believes the entire Jindal as McCain’s Vice President talk is some sort of nefarious and coordinated campaign by certain members of the “liberal media” who secretly wish to destroy Mr. Jindal.
Seriously.
From JindalWatch, we learn of NBC’s press release:
POSSIBLE REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND THE NATION’S YOUNGEST GOVERNOR, LOUISIANA’S BOBBY JINDAL, MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE ON NBC’S ‘THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO’ ON MONDAY, APRIL 28BURBANK – April 22, 2008 – Amidst the growing buzz about possibly being the Vice Presidential candidate on the Republican ticket, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal makes his first appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” (Monday – Friday, 11:35 p.m.-12:37 a.m. ET on NBC). Known to his constituents as simply Governor Bobby, Jindal is the Nation’s youngest Governor sat the age of 36 and in his first term in office the political pundits have already labeled him the future of the GOP and the next Ronald Reagan. Jindal is the first elected Indian American Governor.

I was expecting a post from 4UnionParish warning Leno not to encourage this Veep talk, but they haven’t posted anything over there. If Jindal starts leaving the state too often, Deryl may have to put out an Amber Alert to get him home.
As I have said previously, 4up is like the jealous girlfriend on Springer who gets mad at the other girl for stealing her man instead of getting mad at the man for flirting with other women.
