Weiner: I 'Needed A Drink' After Paul Ryan's Speech

[kpete]

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) described the contrast between President Obama's "uplifting, unifying" State Of The Union speech, and Rep. Paul Ryan's response, which "was just bumming us all out."

"I felt like I just needed a drink when I was done with Paul Ryan," he said, adding: "And then Michele Bachmann who is clearly not in touch with the mothership."

1. As soon as Ryan started speaking, my eyelids slammed shut

for the night. I hear that he said, "We're all doomed!" several different ways.

2. I tuned in for a nanosecond with the sound off to watch the body language

and he was both twitching and blinking a lot, pretty clear signs he knows he's lying.

Then I went back to the live blogging and Olberman's tweets.

3. Along the same lines, KO tweet

Olberman Tweet:

"Tonight's Final Score: Obama 22 Ryan 1 Bachmann -11,746."

Weiner's comments were great, I am so glad I stayed up to see the interview.

9. Assuminlg he meant an adult beverage, the statement was quite telling.

There is a world of difference between 'needing' and 'wanting' a drink (adult beverage.)
