After Obama made his address to the nation, the Elephants figured it would be the opportune time to show off their newest product in an attempt to position themselves for 2012.  Their newest toy, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, spoke to the nation from Baton Rouge in what can only be described as an attempt to get his own children’s television show rather than his party’s nomination.  When he said, “Let me tell you a story,” I damn near lost it.  It was more Mr. Rogers’ oratory rather than presidential.  The reason Obama’s speeches are successful is because he treats his audience like adults rather than a kindergarten class.

Rolling Stone reports that even light country-rocker, Jon Bon Jovi wants the McCain/Palin campaign who have been using the Bon Jovi song “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” at rallies, to lay off of their music! Says RS:
