Jindal stumped when asked to name new ‘big ideas’ that McCain is proposing.
This morning on NBC’s Meet the Press, host David Gregory asserted that the Republican Party “used to be the party of big ideas.” Gregory then asked his guest Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), “What’s the big idea Senator McCain is campaigning on?” Jindal responded, “I think there’s several,” but couldn’t provide an answer. Gregory asked again, “Where are the new big ideas of the Republican Party that John McCain is, is championing?” And again Jindal couldn’t provide an answer.

Condi Rice says Russia has hurt their international reputation
Condi Rice went on the Sunday talk shows this morning to send out a little propaganda to the peoples on the Russia/Georgian front and she had the usual help from everyone. There wasn’t much background on the US involvement that has fueled Russia’s anger.
Condi: …this forward leaning modern Russia, well, you know, that reputation is frankly in tatters and so, that in itself is a significant consequence…

Michael O’Hanlon tries to justify the US Invasion of Iraq while condemning Russia
His rationale is to say Saddam was an evil dictator-man. And the Russian conflict is only a blip on the radar screen as far as invasions go. It’s the 21st century now and as McCain says: In The 21st Century Nations Don’t Invade Other Nations” that’s just not cool. Except when we did it. Trying to bring Georgia into NATO and set up Poland and the Czeck Republic with missiles is not a big deal. Get over it, Putin. And Obama has caught up to McCain in the latest PEW Poll that asks: Who would make better decisions on foreign policy? Of course O’Hanlon does not believe this poll.

Foreman: Do you think people can see the difference? Because certainly some people who are enemies of George Bush who don’t like this White House say there’s not much of a difference. They’re bothered by it. They’re bothered by what Russia did but they’re equally bothered by what we’ve done in Iraq.
O’Hanlon: I would say with both Iraq and the case of Kosovo which is something Russia invokes a lot as an analogy here, we dealt with brutal dictators. There was a question about whether we had gone through all the proper diplomatic preparation. I do not think George W. Bush did a great job at preparing the ground work for the Iraq war. But come on, we overthrew a guy who killed a million people.
Foreman: As opposed to essentially a territory dispute of some sort.
O’Hanlon: Exactly a far lower level of violence regardless of who fired what shot first.
Foreman: Good explanation.
