Chris Matthews sees Bobby Jindal stroll on out to deliver the Republican response to Obama’s first sort-of SOTU address, and responds the very same way most of America likely did— with a half-audible, noticeably exasperated ”Oh, god.” (And, presumably, with a rolling of his eyes and a palm-to-forehead slap/wince-type gesture.)
Appropriate? In sentiment: Yes.
The timing’s the odd part. I mean, at least wait until he’s opened his mouth to “Oh God” him. Like, right when Jindal says “And happy Mardi Gras!”— BAM! Right there is a perfect time for an “Oh God”-ing. Or, even before he walked out, like when Olbermann says the title of Jindal’s rebuttal is “Americans Can Do Anything”— great spot for a “…Jesus Christ almighty what a tool.” Ya know?
