You must watch Rachel Maddow's take on Bobby Jindal's response to the Non-State of the Union speech for the Republican Party. Immediately afterwards she was actually rendered speechless. Then she pulled it together for this:
Can I just say, "ditto"?
Stephanie also mocks Republicans at Lawyer Mama.
yes, PLEASE, say the ditto. it's the damn cherry on this delicious sundae.

And so that giant heaping pile of horse-poo that was Jindal's cringe-inducing speech was built on at least a couple of falsehoods:
Jindal's version: Vegas to Disneyland high-speed rail an example of pork-barrel spending
What's really the case: No, $8 bn is allotted to several high-speed rail projects in development around the country, not any particular one. http://mediamatters.org/items/200902180010?f=s_search
Jindal's version: Jindal & Sheriff Harry Lee together bucked the bureaucrats who would've stopped rescue boats from reaching people stranded by Katrina
What really happened: Jindal was no where near Sheriff Lee when the argument about releasing boats occurred; he played no part in securing them or deploying them. http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/02/jindal_admits_katrina_story_was_false.php
Amazing...the right-wing appetite for lies is bottomless.
