“If we learned anything from the previous debate, it’s that these events reshuffle the deck. The deck has been reshuffled. And we’re fighting our way up.”
—Bobby Jindal, in assessing his performance at the kiddie table debate on Wednesday, Sept. 16 by email, as he strives to sit at the grown-up table.
“In tonight’s debate Governor Jindal neutered the Republican establishment in D.C. The Republican establishment in D.C. is the surrender caucus.”
—Jindal campaign manager Timmy Teepell, trying to earn his expensive fees from the Jindal campaign, also by email.
“He’s right—the deck has been reshuffled again. We’re on our way up. Don’t you want to be a part of it?”
—Supriya Jindal, echoing her husband’s less than convincing refrain. Ditto on the email.
“To follow through with their ‘card deck’ analogy: Yes, the debate did reshuffle the deck. Unfortunately for BJ, a joker is a joker no matter how many times the deck is reshuffled.”
—A reader who must by necessity remain anonymous. (and no, its not Earthmother, nor are we quoting ourselves.)



Anonymous- without intestinal fortitude. If you have the gall to speak ill of a man, you should have the nerve to stand up and say it like a man yourself. I take NO issue with anyone’s opinion of anyone else, but a grown man should take responsibility for the things he says.
