Bobby Jindal Is Kenneth the Page from '30 Rock'

Wednesday February 25, 2009
Bobby Jindal Channels Kenneth from 30 Rock The Internets are atwitter with comparisons of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to Kenneth the Page from "30 Rock." While delivering his widely panned GOP response to Obama's Not State of the Union address, Jindal appeared to channel the bewildered hillbilly portrayed by Jack McBrayer on the hit NBC show.
Gawker: "Jindal just couldn't quit with the wide-eyed 'aww, shucks,' Howdy-Doody delivery, apparently rehearsed in front of a Kindergarten class."
Huffington Post: "They're both Southern, and they both have weird religious things going on what with Jindal's exorcisms and Kenneth's views that 'choosing is a sin' and that hot is 'the devil's temperature.' They also both have the tendency to look like they're dressing up in their fathers' suits."
Bobby Jindal as Kenneth the Page Watch video clips of Kenneth Parcell and Bobby Jindal side by side and judge for yourself.

Update: Kenneth the Page responds to Bobby Jindal, as McBrayer takes to NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" show to issue "the Jack McBrayer response to the Internet response to the Republican response to the President's address to Congress."

Rumors are swirling that McBrayer's next stop may be "Saturday Night Live."
