Why does everybody clap so much during the State of the Union address? I just watched it (yes - I downloaded it, printed the transcript, and took notes. Is that a problem?) and I could hardly friggin' concentrate because all those wankers kept clapping. After every. Single. Sentence. Could they just shut up and let Mr. the Prezdent speak?
I have a whole slew of things I have stocked up to say, but I have to dilly dally out my door now, so that will have to come along later. Check back for further details.
Until then, look at this picture of the Three White Guys (click the itty bitty image for the big one). Aren't they just as unattractive as they come? In fact, Georgie comes out as the hottest amongst them. How terrifying.
And for those who watched it, why did Bush wink and chuckle to himself while speaking about Medicare? That was sketchy.
Oooh, the clapping. I think that is the single most motivating factor for one to never watch the State of the Union.
The other would be the homocidal rage that ensues after listening to Bush talk for so long.
I think you read my mind. weeooweeoo... nevermind. Imagine the blisters you would get from clapping for a whole hour. Well I guess it's okay because it was only the republicans doing all the clapping.
Couldn't they just lower the volume on the clapping? And do you think they have those special clapper prompters? You know, like they do for sit-coms? Like there's a guy there prepping the congressmen and cueing them as to when they should clap? It always seems so perfectly in synch.
lee, i was totally thinking the same thing. it seriously *did* sound liket there was one clapper who started about a half second before the rest of the sheep. ...i mean, republicans.
