Jindal was OK-he wasn’t awful, but he didn’t hit it out of the ballpark either

I've never met anyone, ever, who enthused about a response to a SOTU.

I didn't see Jindal tonight, but I don't think he'd have done much good to anyone but, well, folks like us even if he had a stunning speech.

The media have their shining star right now, anyone else will be ignored.

"I've never met anyone, ever, who enthused about a response to a SOTU."

I've been drinking, so someone please refresh my memory: Did Bush give a SOTU address shortly before Obama's inauguration? Was this a real SOTU, or was it just that Obama couldn't wait until next year? I guess my question is: does the outgoing president give a SOTU just before he leaves office?
