The State of Dis-Union

My post on the State of Dis-Union at Dkos.

Well, that was entertaining because I just love a good fairy-tale, don't you? I think he should get George Lucas to produce the movie version, or maybe it needs the Bruckheimer touch? A little Black Hawk Down mixed with Places in the Heart? A great Action Hero, Down Home Family movie for all ages where the bad guys are real bad evildoers and the good guys make sure that the mothers of our fallen soldiers are quickly whisked away before the opening credit less their quiet sobs in the back of the room spoil everyone's mood. Or worse - they wear a T-Shirt with a little too much truthiness to it.
Maybe we'll let them stay, as long as they allow themselves to be used for cheap jingoism?

Still the best parts, were all in the audience participation segments - because as we all know, it's all about the "Hokey Pokey"! (Aka The Official Dance of the Congress Critters as they jump up and down from their seats on cue like trained seals!) Arr! Arr! Clap! Clap!

Except of course, for the few telling moments, when they didn't.

1. Did TED Kennedy boycott the speech?

I didn't see him at all?? Did anyone see him? Thanks.

PS - I don't know how to start a new thread here - sorry to tag this question along on yours.

2. Not sure...

Didn't see him either.

3. I looked and looked for him ....

Never did see him. I also doubt he would have been up on his feet cheering and clapping like some of the others who disappointed me. Do they feel an obligation to applaud the Prez? I don't get it.

Does ANYONE know if Ted K. boycotted the fiasco last night? Thanks
