Caught Between a 30 Rock and a Slumdog
In a week when South Asians ruled the Oscars and another responded to the president, it was inevitable that someone would tie the two together. Sure, we'd expect it from the blogosphere...but Time, which once listed Bobby Jindal among its 2007 list of "People Who Mattered"? Its Swampland blog assessed Jindal's response as proving "limits to the Slumdog Millionaire touch of gold." Post name? "Jai No!"
The "Slumdog" comparison, however tenuous, might be better than the one circulating online: "bobby jindal is kenneth the page" (off the charts), as in the perky Georgian from NBC's "30 Rock."
Which actually inspires an idea for Jindal to rebound from this criticism: Declare a run for 2016, with Tina Fey as his running mate. Sarah Palin accent optional.
