Da Art of Storytelling.

FILE UNDER: Words/POLITICS: So Fucking Disco!


"Round and round, round we go!"

One more chance? Maybe he needs one more chance? Amelie Gillette reports:

"...maybe Jindal was thrown off by the pressure of speaking before a national audience—and one that wasn't sitting on carpet squares in a semi-circle. Also, he forgot to change into his cardigan as he walked out to the porch, a comforting sartorial shift for both himself and the viewer. Perhaps he would have performed better if the response were produced with a little more panache: maybe opening with a woman looking into her empty wallet and frowning, followed by a shot of a man in line at the grocery store struggling with a stack of coupons as Jindal's voiceover intones, "Economy got you down? Wondering where your bail-out is?" before cutting to a shot of Jindal sitting at his desk, "Well do I have a deal for you! Hi! I'm Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana...""
