National Review Online "A shrewd move. Leadership could have opted for — and many expected them to — a rising star/minority figure like Sen.

From February 25, 2009; Bobby Jindal Response Panned By Pundits, Republicans And Democrats Alike "And yet, much of the critique of Jindal's address focused on his hokey, folksy, seemingly-forced tone and vernacular.
