This is Rush Limbaugh’s take on the GOP getting duped into the seating deception:

“Look, folks, this is not a good sign. It isn’t fatal, don’t misunderstand here, but it’s an illustration of what one incident — (unintelligible) — hell, I don’t know. Things can happen overnight in politics and totally upset and change the game, i.e., Tucson. A totally, by the way, nonpolitical event that has been converted into a political event that somehow the Republicans need to go out of their way and say, “Hey, hey, hey, wasn’t us, and to prove it we’ll sit next to you guys in the State of the Union and we’ll go along with this Obama moving to the center stuff.” But what’s the symbolism of sitting together? All it is is a trick that’s been dreamed up by the Democrats to make sure that the vast Republican majority is not seen during the relative standing ovations or lack thereof. So the optics will not show this massive Republican majority in the House of Representatives. So what is it symbolic of? Well, it’s symbolic of the GOP playing along, symbolic of the Republicans not wanting to show distinctions, not wanting to draw on the differences.”

Thanks for the ping; post. I didn’t watch, listen to, or read anything about the POSOTUS and his SOTU but I know this thread is a good one...so I am bumping it.

[combat_boots]

OK, all,

What I want to know is...did everyone enjoy the whack-a-mole pop-up speech?

Oh, and don’t we all enjoy DOJ’s Blogsquad DOS attacks? Come one now. These attacks are important in the expression of noblesse oblige free speech, no?

You said it best! :)

As my computer slows during a live thread, I, also, notice the time between posts increases. When there are two to three minutes between posts, I know it ain’t good.

My son: “Who’s that sad looking guy on Obama’s left?”
Me: “That’s Johm Boehner. He looks like that crying indian(from the 70’s ads about littering), doesn’t he?”
He looks like he has a bad taste in his mouth and can’t believe all the crap he’s hearing.

I thought the best part of the SOTU was watching Boehner's reactions. He gave a few obligatory claps for things no one can disagree with (our brave military, America's exceptionalism, etc.). He looked disgusted, but resolved, for most of the rest of the SOTU. Unlike many of the establishment Republicans that clapped for anything/everything, Boehner appeared he was actally listening to the CONTENT of o's speech.

[trisham]

Wow! I love that one! Well done!

[Califreak]

I know it’s not really funny, but while border security was being discussed, the camera lingered on John McCain and he looked very uncomfortable. Kind of like each word was a little slap to his face. We almost fell out of our chairs howling with laughter at his reaction. He looked like he’d do anything to make that camera go away.

Yes, Pelosi incoherent at times trying to remember her talking points. Almost sad to watch. I looked around the crowd last night. . . there are the smiling career politicians and a few young bucks. Time for Term Limits!

[al_c]

THe same Paul Ryan who voted for TARP?

Did not know that. I just liked what he had to say last night.

“Featuring Joe Biden as Happy Clappy!”

Was Slow Joe sober?

[Spunky]

John, it appears that you were able to tweak something and I can now read my PINGS, but I still can not read my FREEPMAIL, nor my PREFERENCES.

[BlackSeal]

Exclusive video footage of last nights SOTU address. Who would have thought high speed bullet trains are the answer to all our problems?!

Monorail! Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!

"You were zotted. You just don’t know it. :)"

You would be surprised what I know. :-)

[BuckeyeTexan]

I doubt it. You’ve been here a while. I’m still a newb.

[Palladin]

Agree with Rush. We have many more RINOS in Congress than conservatives, and last night proved it.

After FR crashed, I sat in my recliner and promptly dozed off as Obooboo started droning.

Guess I didn’t miss much.

[Revel]

Gosh it was that simple all along. Thank you very much for your reply.

[rodguy911]

What can I say,the ones in the party who do all the heavy lifting are all female.!!!

[rodguy911]

ITs all focus tested telprpomter BS. Custom tailered to keep his numbers up in hopes of re-election.
All this guy does is run for office and fund raise. Absolutely the worst potus ever.

Ain't that just the male-humiliating truth.

Palin, Bachmann, Noem...
