I can't bear to watch the start of the SOTU

[Martin Eden]

Seeing that rat bastard receive the obligatory standing ovation is bound to make me :puke:

[bamademo]

1. I will watch it precisely because of that reason...

because I don't think he will get one. Hopefully it will be tepid.

[Martin Eden]

2. If I watch it based on your reassurance ...

... and end up barfing into my pint of Guiness Stout, I'm going to reach out through cyberspace and metaphorically strangle you!

[Pirate Smile]

3. For the first time ever, there is going to be a woman in the SOTU shot.

Madame Speaker.

I'm watching just for that.

I assume she is going to get a huge cheer from Democrats when she goes up there.

Wooh hoo!

[snowbear]

6. Yep! After "Madame Speaker" is announced, you can hit the MUTE button for the fake Bush applause!

And if you want to know what's happening, just tune into DU!

[bdamomma]

8. yes, I am sure the Dems will give Madame Speaker a standing

ovation. Her approval rating is way above Bush's. That for damn sure.

[BlueJazz]

4. I plan to do something much more exciting.....

...wash my dirty dishes and clean the bathroom/toilet.

[bdamomma]

5. I think I just want to watch the opening of Madame Speaker

and that is all. I will be here for the commentary from the DU'ers good enough for me, and Mike Malloy.

7. I'm warming up with American Idol ...

:hi: Then I'll be there....hope there's a live SOTU blog here, will be looking for it :)

9. I was just thinking the same thing. Applauding this war criminal is criminal in itself.

Hearing "Madame Speaker... the pResident of the United States," is the only silver lining about the entrance.
