for no to 67622. go to our blog and we ll bring you the results later on in the show. i challenge i challenge governor jindal s office to put out a statement tonight to explain what a hostile takeover is. and explain what he means by rebellion. let me bring in bruce bartlet, former bush 41 policy adviser. you know, the conservatives today love to quote and point to the example of ronald reagan. would reagan use the term, h hostile takeover and use the term rebellion in terms of people rising up against their government? give us perspective on where the conservatives used to be and where they are now. first of all, let me make the point there have always been crazies in every political party. but the difference is that once
