State
There are four things in the world that interest me beyond all other things: theatre, movies, TV and politics. Surprisingly enough I've been interested in politics longer than all the others. To have Oscar nominations announced on the same day as the State of the Union might just be too much for me to handle. Even though I despise the current President I'm always interested in seeing the picture he paints of the country and then seeing how much of what he says becomes reality. I also love watching the facial expresions of all the high profile peeps in the Chamber during the speech and wondering what they're thinking. Here's what I've come up with tonight:
Ted Kennedy, while pushing his glasses off his nose and rubbing his eyes: I'm a fucking Kennedy and you're going to start talking about this shit, again? Two of my brothers were ASSASINATED and you think *I* don't want to fight terrorists? Fuck you. Pass the whiskey.
Hillary Clinton: That's right, bastard, in two years, that'll be me up there.
Barack Obama, sitting directly in front of Hillary rolling his eyes: Shit, in two years, that'll be Hillary up there.
Barney Frank: I haven't applauded this much since I saw Jennifer belt out "I'm Telling You" in Dreamgirls.
Nancy Pelosi: I'm so takin' you down, asshole.
Dick Cheney: Lynne made me wear this magenta tie; would you fuck with her?
Lynne Cheney: Laura's suit matches Dick's tie perfectly. Is there...? Could there be...? Nah, he'd never fuck with me.
Laura Bush: Do you like my dress? Nancy--Reagan not Pelosi-- told me to wear red, but I thought this dark pink was so much more flattering for TV, don't you agree? Isn't my husband cute?
Robert Byrd: If I have to stand up one more time I might fall over dead.
John McCain: Remember we practiced this, it's i-'räk...ear-rack. Oh yeah, he got it right. Woot, woot!
Okay, that was fun, but I'm tapped out. I realize that that's not remotely funny to a lot of people, but I was seriously cracking myself up with that shit. Ah well, If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
Does anyone else find it odd that the President signs autographs on his way out of the Chamber? Weird. Who's there that needs his autograph outside of a bill for his consideration?
The best part of tonight: the opening line, "Madame Speaker..." Those are sweet words that have never before been spoken in that context. It's about damn time. Like her, or not, it's awesome to have a woman up there in old white man's land.
