DorianCorr @KeithOlbermann Don't blame Bachmann, the cereal box she gets her facts from doesn't list sources.

[hlthe2b]

4. Oh my. Eyeliner explosion? #sotu response

1. Comforting part about her speaking to an invisible cameraman named Murray is that nobody's heard a word she said #sotu #InsaneClownResponse half a minute ago via web

2. wmweeza @KeithOlbermann She's speaking to her imaginary friends and imaginary audience 2 minutes ago via web in reply to KeithOlbermann Retweeted by KeithOlbermann and 6 others

3. Seriously, somebody at the Tea Party needs to run on the stage, grab her, and POINT TO WHERE THE CAMERA IS #sotu #InsaneClownResponse 2 minutes ago via web

4. Did the Tea Party not spring either for a Camera Red Light or a combined camera-teleprompter? It costs $3 extry #sotu #InsaneClownResponse 4 minutes ago via web

22. KO is SO funny! Not many can make me laugh out loud while sitting ...

while sitting at a computer staring at a screen.

Hope he starts a website.

[Loge23]

23. Overall, KO was more interesting than MSNBC

I stayed with the tweets after the (IMO) clumsy analysis on MSNBC post-speech.
Clearly a void there with Chris Matthews apparently retaking alpha dog status (or trying).
