The State of the Union…

littlemissknowitalld.jpgI know you are all sitting there with baited breath, just waiting to see what Little Miss Know it All has to say about the President’s speech yesterday. 

 I didn’t watch it.

I just couldn’t bear it.  I’ve watched them year after year, and I’m so tired of the endless grandstanding, the twisting of arguments, and the nonstop clapping that is really just a posing for the cameras.  I’m tired of the average soldier or American suffering from cancer being used as a political tool.

And I’m just tired of the President’s speaking style.  It annoys me.  Its a personal thing.  After watching Clinton’s brilliant, personal, inclusive speaking style for so many years, after watching Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher and Madelaine Albright, I just can’t bear his ramblings, folksy sayings and misspeaks.  Its almost as bad as when I listen to Rush Limbaugh.  And that’s not a pretty sight…

No fear, I did Tivo it, and the commentary that followed it.  I plan on getting a glass of good single malt, sitting back, and watching as much as I can stand. 

But I’m not expecting to be dazzled.  Unless its Keith Olbermann, and then he always surprises me.

    John McCain will also surprise you. A man who wants to be the next President shouldn’t be sleeping through the current President’s State of the Union address.
