But, I mean, I say the same thing (“Oh God”) every time I hear the Countdown theme song.

I agree that it was clearly KO’s voice. It was definitely a voice right at the microphone, you can tell by the tone.

I have a little different take, though, on the reason. While of course KO and MSNBC would have preferred to NOT air Jindal’s response, the timing of the ‘Oh God’ statement led me to believe that it was a response to Jindal’s rather ‘loud’ tie. In fact, when I saw it live (well, on TIVO actually), I said the exact the same thing at almost the exact same time when I saw the tie…and I LOVE Bobby Jindal.

Let me preface by stating first the obvious, MSNBC is a joke and nothing more than a network press spokesperson for the administration and arguably does a better job than Robert Gibbs in promoting the party/administration line. Secondly, I am a former constituent of then Rep. Bobby Jindal and have always been a big fan of the now Governor.

Having said that, I think a Governor, any Governor, was a bad choice to give the response to the Obama speech. The perfect candidate would have been Tom Coburn who has the bona fides to deliver the GOP’s message of smaller, smarter government, personal responsibility and social conservatism. Not that Gov. Jindal doesn’t hold the same views, but we needed the message to come for THIS speech from someone like Sen. Coburn who has fought against the BUSH ADMINISTRATION against higher and wasteful spending and that the “Obama Plan” is just more, and more importantly, WORSE of the same. The time for Gov. Jindal to have given the response was after the 2010 State of the Union when inevitably those 4 million guaranteed jobs were neither created nor “saved” and the actual cost of the “stimulus” had sunk in at the state and local level.

MSNBC has found that it can get an audience by scooping up all the bottom feeders on the Left and feeding them plenty of rancid red meat.

I watched on ABC and the sound on Jindal’s speech kept dropping out. It was rather irritating and I was wondering if it was a problem with one network or a general issue.

It could be anyone on the set.

Not that it distracts from your point that MSNBC is completely in the tank for Obama.
