Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers,

[Marcella]

“Amen, Marcella. I’m with you.”

The more he talks about the great power of his freaking pen, the more I think he is a little puissant to be stomped on. You are welcome to help me stomp when he shows up with his big ears around here.

[caww]

Well we’re not really surprised with anything he said as nothings new. Didn’t make any waves....

[Revolting cat!]

One characteristic of speeches by Communist gensecs has been throughout history their length. They could speak for hours, 3, 4, sometimes even longer. Obama follows a model. Is there a theory behind it? I don’t know, but I suspect it is some kind of belief among these philistines, because that’s what they have all been, peasants, that the longer the better.

I was in the shower. Did I miss anything?

[ClearCase_guy]

She talks like Obama — stringing crap together and hoping it sounds profound.

[exit82]

Hope it goes well for you.

[mylife]

Holy Cow! she worked at McDonalds?

[defconw]

Never heard of her.

[Irenic]

I wasn’t going to watch but I wanted to see and hear first hand this power grab.

[deks]

She’s got the best delivery I’ve ever seen on the “response”.

[caww]

Oh sheesh this woman is simply re-enforcing Obamas speech....hope she picks it up...

[Windflier]

Which one of “our” idiots will be giving a response?

I don't know about "idiots", but Senator Mike Lee is the designated TeaPublican respondent for this year.

[txhurl]

Is she fixin to sell me a skin-care system?

[Gene Eric]

Cool, that’s easy!

I never saw anything Syncro posted, just weary of the sloppy TEA spelling. The acronym does have meaning, and it has nothing to do with tea leaves.
