Moogie's Post-Mortem of the State of the Unionized Extravaganza


Just a couple of observations about the State of the Unionized speech last night --

(1) Apparently no one told Michelle that the SOTU speech is a business-attire event, not a cocktail-attire event. Purple satin? Really?

(2) One positive: unlike during last year's address to Congress, this year Pelosi appeared to be faking all her jump-up-and-down O-rgasms. Do you suppose he's man enough to deal with that?

(3) I have to agree with Andy: seeing one's Secretary of Homeland Defense -- the guardian of our security -- take a little nap during her boss's big appearance is more than a little disquieting.

(4) The Young President v. The Supreme Court. STOP! in the name of love! Think it oh-oh-ver!

(5) Using the phrases, "jobs," "clean energy," and "working families" for trigger-words in the State of the Unionized Speech Drinking Game makes for a tipsy citizen-viewer.

(6) One hour, 25 minutes, 31 seconds? See: U.S. Constitution, Amendment 8. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

(7) Conspicuously absent: Foreign policy? What Foreign Policy?

  1. I like that you actually mentioned something about Michelle. Bless her heart...her wardrobe team must think they're a bunch of comedians!!

    I know that you used to loyally follow Bless Our Hearts before we took a hiatus. Just wanted to let you know that there is a new post about last night's speech up. You should check it out!

  3. Moogie,

    Bwahahahahahahahaha!!! The 8th Amendment line just fogged up my monitor with Diet Coke (and maybe something else in the mix).

    I did not watch the speech, as I had better things to do. But, I did catch some clips of it this evening. In one 30 second clip, I swear, Nancy Pelosi (or as I call her, NannyP) blinked 45 times...I swear, I counted them.

    It was so distracting that I missed what the savior was saying. NannyP really "ruined the moment" for me. I'm sure it's not the first time she's done that (if you know what I mean).

    8th Amendment...nyuk...

    btw: Thanks for the link Moogie. Truth is, I probably was further gone than Janet when they shot that picture of her. Maybe she had too much corn for dinner (like I did) before the speech. (wink)
