You know there are too many political shows when discussions of seating arrangements at the State of the Union seem like they are more of the story line than the actual content of the speech.
TOR will be sitting at the edge of our seats tonight as Obama gives his State of the Union Speech –not because we expect anything worthwhile but more because there won't be anything on to compete with it.
Our expectations aren't very high as these things seem to have enough fizzle to last about one news cycle and this administration seems to send put out a carefully constructed press-release every time Obama takes a shit so it's not like we don't know where he stands on most of the issues.
We do expect Obama to give us some lame 'the state of our union is strong' rhetoric, we expect a few tears from Boehner, we expect a few congressmen to stand up when they aren't supposed to because they won't have their buddies sitting next to them to cue them when to stand up.
We are glad that we won't have to figure out if Pelosi is sending out telepathic signals with her blinking, we will be glad to know that Biden will probably have a hard time not scratching his backside half-way through it. We'll be interested to see if crazy Joe Lieberman will decide to try to bump Lee Corso on College Gameday. We like to see I John Kerry walks out early like he did a few years ago, We'll be interested to see if John McCain builds a wall to keep the New Mexican representatives from entering his hemisphere. We'll be interested to see if Obama uses a bit of the Walt Clyde Frazier Just for Men material.
