Louisiana Gov. Piyush Jindal (R) complains the ‘Party of No’ label is hurtful, then calls the GOP 'the Party of Hell No'


Louisiana Gov. Piyush Jindal (R) complained that characterizations of the Republican caucus as the ‘Party of No’ are hurtful in his speech at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference on Friday.

The Louisiana Governor said, “Speaker Pelosi likes to call the Republicans the ‘Party of No.’ Some of us, we don’t like the way that sounds. It hurts our feelings. Speaker Newt Gingrich said yesterday the Republicans need to be the ‘Party of Yes,’ and he is right.”

Yet after just claiming that the Republicans are the party of ‘yes’ , Jindal then exclaimed that the GOP isn’t just the “party of No,” but instead “the party of Hell No when it comes to this health care!”

Jindal, who was widely ridiculed for delivering a clumsy response to President Obama’s address before Congress in 2009, had other awkward moments at the conference on Friday as well. At one point, Jindal told the audience, “we do have ideas; some of those ideas are even good ideas.” It appears that Piyush ‘Bobby' Jindal is tacitly conceding that the GOP also spawns many bad ideas.

Jindal isn’t the only winger offering bewildering talking points. Speaking at a rally with her dimwitted duo partner Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) earlier this week, Sarah Palin offered up similar bewildering thoughts on the Republican Party. Former less than one-term Gov. Palin called the “Party of No” label a “mistaken concept” right before saying there is nothing wrong with being the Party of No in the face of Obama’s agenda.

  1. Yah, Piyush is a great southern red-neck name, no wonder he wants to go by his fictional name 'Bobby'.
