WASHINGTON -- Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will take a seat at the leadership table on the Republican side of the aisle, as usual, for President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night, bucking gestures of chumminess among lawmakers.

With calls for more civility in Congress and less partisanship after Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' shooting in Arizona, some lawmakers said they want to show some camaraderie at this year's speech by having Democrats and Republicans in mixed seating.

But McConnell likes his view.

"If people want to mix it up, they certainly can. We don't have seating assignments for most of our members," he told "Fox News Sunday."

1. I guess he will wear his formal shell.

3. The one with the ermine trim and sequins?

I've heard it's rather regal, for a tortoise.

4. Maybe his wife turtle will get him some oriental duds.

11. Who wants Mitch cooties?

He is a bit freaky under the veneer of manhood he attempts to wear. I wonder what time he will pick up Elaine?

12. Not having a chin makes it easier to extract his head from his ass for public appearances

But I guess he is going to keep it up there for the SOTU.

13. Personally, I do not really care where these dolts intend to sit...

Sitting Democrats and Republicans together tomorrow night is nothing but a window dressing that gives nothing but an illusion of bipartisanship.

14. they should clean that stain

that santorum gets everywhere

15. Well, at least he's not hypocritical

He is an uncompromising partisan and sees no reason to play nice. Shooting, shmooting.

I just wish the Democratic leadership could be so unwavering. We need a Mitch, or a Newt.

:hi:

16. We had Grayson. He didn't last long enough to make it

to a leadership position.

17. I really don't care where anybody sits -- it's just a cosmetic gesture

I really don't give a rat's ass where anybody chooses to sit for the SOTU. There are fundamental, deep divides in this country that no amount of fiddling with seating arrangements is going to change. Spare us the cosmetic gestures, please.
