Could Nancy Pelosi (5.00 / 1) (#33)
by BDB on Mon Jan 28, 2008 at 08:56:18 PM EST
look any less interested?  She didn't even take her papers out of her hand when she was clapping.  She's climbed several points in my books.

Could Dick Cheney look any more evil or is it angry at the world?  Maybe it's just constipation.  Condi also looks angry, perhaps mourning her career and reputations.  Which reminds me of Novak's pushing her for VP - because if you thought she was a terrible Secretary of State, just wait and see what she can accomplish as Veep.

Is Hillary asleep?  Nice mix of disdain and boredom on her part.

Best Bush SOTU evah!  Of course, this is the first one I've ever watched and I've been watching for less than five minutes.  But it turns out that what makes Bush bearable is knowing how irrelevant he is.

To add to his list of high crimes of misdemeanors - massive violation of civil service regs in hiring career prosecutors and other key civilian personnel, "losing" WH emails, complete disregard for the rule of law, treasonous outing of CIA agent, lying to start a war.  Eh, the list is too long and depressing to go through.

Here's the FISA stuff - telecoms "believed to have assisted", he doesn't know.  Good for the Dems to sit on their hands.  And am I the only one who laughs every time Bush talks about "intelligence"?

Pelosi's reading a book, it's not even a copy of his speech.

It didn't look so bookish when I saw it in other folks' hands.

At some points, she's looked like she's trying not to be physically ill.  All the Dems seem to be reading ahead in the printed copy (perhaps hoping to force time to speed up).  The facial expressions are priceless.  There was one moment where Hillary had this cynical smile on her face and she was clapping weakly (during the healthcare section).
