i watched cheney most of the time durring the SOTU speech. after such a bad day for him he remained.. steely. evil fuck.

i turned it on just prior to webb coming on. then i watched msnbcs postgame coverage before watching a few minutes of bushs address on cspan. amazing how substance-free the coverage can be. (they were falling all over themselves praising bush for being congenial toward nancy pelosi.) i did notice that olbermann has graduated to co-anchor with chris matthews for the big ticket political events. this is the second time ive seen them paired and you can tell they are still trying to hold their egos in check and find some chemistry. matthews is clearly threatened by olbermanns wit intelligence and by the fact that he has yet to succumb to the amorality if not immorality practiced by the political and media elites. olbermann, meanwhile, has to appear to play the game and respect his peers while trying to infuse some analysis which might provoke some thoughtfulness, at home and among the talking heads.

i watched msnbc too / pbs just had jim lehrer pointing out whos hand was being shaken. bush said democrat party not democratic party. fuck him and his so called reconcile. also wesley autry was great. too bad he was co-opted for politics. usually they put the ringer heros in the front of the speech not at the end to bail out from the iraq rhetoric.

Thanks for the coverage of the coverage. I watched the Webb YouTube and the Bush impersonator that Atrios posted yesterday. Webb was good--usually those responses are so mealy mouthed.

Yeah, I know. I am actually very proud of that vote. Just watched it last night. Nice of CNN.com to offer the whole nine minutes. Very impressive. Another very impressive thing. Mr. BC won 10k at craps table in NO.

im just glad he found some money to afford the flight home. id hate to see him end up sleeping on a park bench somewhere. do they still have parks in NOLA?
- dave 1-25-2007 5:50 pm


Depending on what you are looking for in park; I would say they actually have considerably more park land now.
