Internet consensus is that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who delivered the GOP response to President Obama's quasi-state of the union, seems a lot like Kenneth the Page, the naive, from-the-hills 30 Rock character played by Jack McBrayer. However, one person disagrees: McBrayer himself. And he does so on Late NIght with Jimmy Fallon, giving "The Jack McBrayer Response To The Internet Response To The Republican Response To The President's Address To Congress."
And it doesn't matter how much people, Internetizens and pundits alike scoff at Jindal—lede in that liberal bastion The NY Times: "Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana has been a rising star in the Republican Party, but his stock took a hit as he was roundly panned for his televised response to President Obama’s first speech to Congress on Tuesday night."—Rush Limbaugh's heart still goes on for Bobby J.
