New York’s Newsday didn’t have much nice to say about Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s speech Thursday night to the annual New York Republican dinner in Manhattan. A report on the newspaper’s website says his keynote speech started out well enough, but many Republicans said “droned on far too long.
He told a stale joke (“My father walked to school. Uphill. Both ways.”) then went deep into the weeds of the Bayou State’s financials — focusing at one point on ‘UAL’ debt.”
Jindal, however, got much better marks from the Business Insider, which called it a “a big, slashing keynote speech.”
“In some ways,” the website said, “the event looked like a passing of the torch, from Newt Gingrich — an also-ran in the 2012 campaign — to Jindal, the young, rising star.”
The reporter, clearly pursuing the theme that Jindal is auditioning for a spot the national ticket, said “Gingrich went well beyond the usual praise for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. He sounded the presidential horns for a potential vice presidential nominee.
