The serial bloviaters who masquerade as journalists on cable television have added their two cents to the show-business erosion of the State of the Union as a serious matter. Reaction shots of lawmakers provide endless fodder for issue-starved commentators. Let Sen.

HRC's specialty when it comes to SOTU addresses is the slight smirk with slow head-shake, like she's telegraphing to the cameras "Can you beLIEVE this guy?" She is the worst of the dems in terms of behaving exclusively for the camera, as she knows it's always going to be on her for a reaction.
