Indeed, a childish spectacle - led by the ultimate quota baby.
The ultimate example of everything that is sordid about liberalism.
That’s why I don’t watch. It’s all a big dog and pony show, and a painfully boring one at that. Once SOTU was a chance for the president to put forth his vision, what are our challenges, what course does he see through them, once applause started happening it became just another stump speech.
Why would Scalia lend any credibility to Elena Kagan or even deign to impart his exploits with her on a “hunting trip?”
*barf*

It has become trivial.
There are no statesmen in Washington. Wisdom has been banished. In its place is a reality show, immature, posturing moral brutes in expensive clothing.
We are Rome, 350 AD.
No wonder those who play at “governing” hate Justice Scalia. He is not PC. We are sinking as a nation, and those on board the ship don’t want anyone to notice the imminent catastrophe.
Its like the Academy Awards, the Grammys, etc.
Like-minded (and closed group) of people gathering themselves to congratulate themselves and one another.
Mr. hummingbird recorded BO's One-Man Show but I haven't watched it yet
Did anyone notice whether "Aisle Hog" Sheila Jackson Lee get face time or a handshake of kiss from BO?
Four years ago, newly elected President Barack Obama promises to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. An intelligent society would have voted his ass out when it had the opportunity to. We are a nation of dolts.
If anyone got elected who gives a damn about this country they’d send a letter to congress “from time to time” and stop the dog and pony and Sheila Jackson “lip smackin’” Lee show.
With Obama’s SOTU yellow brick road speech China reports a record hige sales of popcorn,makes list of how much more money he wants from them.
This speech was a real ratings pig...DOWN across the boardon all networks; FOX’s ratings nearly cut in half from last year...ROTF! Judge Scalia wasn’t the only one ignoring the SOTU.
It has been a ‘dog and pony’ show for at least 3 decades.
I second your “yep.” Didn’t care for Bush’s either.
The closer he approaches dictator status, the longer his public bloviations become.
Before long, he’ll be making five-hour speeches a la Castro.
IMHO, one of the most childish, dumbest parts of the SOTU, which goes back several presidents, is introducing people from the audience.
