" Republicans were making a studied effort to stay out of the way and avoid a "You lie" moment that stole the show during Obama's last address to Congress. The House's three top Republican leaders — Reps. John Boehner of Ohio, Eric Cantor of Virginia and Mike Pence of Indiana — all lectured their troops before the address that the president should be treated with respect."

However, Alito didn't get the memo, and most people thought he said ( NOT TRUE ) and rightfully so after Obama was rude to the Supreme Court of the USA.

This inadvertently shows the downside of term limits — if re-election is not possible, then the politician will not care about trying to achieve it.

"We have to wait for the House of Lords to do their contemplating," said Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. "We're also not getting much guidance from the mother ship...

Weiner's a dork, but that is funny!

Hey, Rep Lynch, Obama fooled you didn’t he and now he’s gonna take your job.

And Obama's double down last night did not help his party. He has no intention of reversing course. I can't wait til the fall!

Obama, you lie!

The Guardian could dig up a liberal at the RNC convention and declare that liberal ‘uncomfortable.’

Trumpeting Dem ‘anger’ is weak tea considering they are STILL nominally in power. What are they angry about? Their own inertia and cravenness?

Andy Borowitz: Republicans Are the “Sex Pistols of Politics”

While the rest of the country watched President Obama’s State of the Union address last night, satirist Andy Borowitz hosted a panel of guests — ranging from Janeane Garofalo to CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin — at the 92nd St Y to evaluate the president’s first year in office.

“For someone not even from [this country], he’s doing an excellent job” Borowitz deadpanned. “He’s basically an exchange student.”

The New Yorker humorist and sometime-standup had the audience in stitches, denouncing President Obama for his inability to rid the high seas of bloodthirsty Somali pirates and dubbing the Republican party — after hearing Toobin call them a bunch of tax-cutting nihilists — “The Sex Pistols of politics.”

Looking at ease in a zip-up hoodie, jeans and sneakers, Borowitz set an irreverent tone, flexing his comedic chops — a skill he’s perfected writing fake news stories on his eponymous website, The Borowitz Report — for the majority of the evening.

His panelists weren’t afraid to follow suit: “Dead Line” poet and longtime Nation and Time columnist Calvin Trillin recited a poem that repeatedly (and brilliantly) rhymed with disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s last name. Toobin and MSNBC’s Jonathan Alter joined the fray for what Horowitz dubbed a “CNN and MSNBC SmackDown.”

Of course more serious issues were broached too. Garofalo expressed “bitter disappointment” regarding the President’s first year in office, and though her fellow panelists weren’t as harsh in their Obama critique (and even defended some if not many of his policies), there was a palpable sense of let down from the “Yes We Can” highs of just a year ago.
