Eww, not a good look GOP (Post-State of the Union)

Bobby Jindal has officially killed his chances of becoming the next voice of the Republican Party. Not because of any scandal or any failures in his office (although Louisiana does rank among the bottom in almost all catergories including education, health care, crime prevention, environmental safety, etc). Jindal will not revitalize the Republican party because he suffers from a lack of pizaz, a lack of swag, missing a certain je n'ais se quis that took President Barack Obama from being just a Senator with a book deal to the iconic President that we all know of.

In his response on behalf of the Republican party after Obama's first State of the Union address, Jindal showed absolutely no charm or grace in delivering what exactly is the conservative idea on getting America out of this economical quagmire. Delivering analogies that didn't work and just a lack of optimism for setting America straight, Jindal fell flat on his face last night.

But its not just Jindal thats lacking right now. The entire Republican Party is lost and admist an identity crisis. Newly elected Repub chair Michael Steele has absolutely no idea on how to recast the conservative movement or for that matter, appeal. Now he's idea of bringing a hip-hop sensibility to the Repub party. Watch the clip from the Rachel Madow show to see what I'm talking about
