*** Official Pre-SOTU Speech thread *** |
|
I'm flipping between KO and CSPAN (who is discussing the upcoming speech with reporters and polititians.)
I've already started in on the beers. I hope my vision is blurry by the time the smirkinator shows up...
what are you watching?

4. Probably all of them. Really wouldn't surprise me. |

The SOTU is probably the easiest thing to find on TV :D

18. Yes - I half-expect the Cartoon Network to have an animated version up |
|
simultaneously just so that you can't escape it.
Like you would click up the dial and MTV would have a feed with lots of cuts and flying camera pull outs, VH1 would have something similar but fewer cuts and softer focus, maybe fog. Then E! would have Joan Rivers and Melissa talking over the standard feed about what everyone is wearing, Telemundo would have him dubbed in Spanish...

12. I don't get control of the tv until after |
|
American Idol is over. Everyone here likes that show, so I can put up with it if they can put up with me watching the speech I guess. :shrug:

My roommate and her boyfriend are watching American Idol in our room. *facepalm* Actually, though, this might be a good thing...but I'll probably put on my headphones and start streaming KO soon.

14. I'm going crazy to see if I can get live webcast of msnbc |
|
I see they offer it for the speech, but I'm looking for the entire coverage, especially the after the speech.
Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong here, or I'm looking for something they don't offer.??
I don't get msnbc. They offered live webcast for the entire election night. Was hoping they'd do the same tonight?

Stick it to him, Keith! :yourock:
You know, I've tried, I really have, to watch *'s speeches for the last 6 horrible years. One time, I made it though without going ballistic. Usually I'm hysterical after 5 minutes and have to get away from the t.v. My dog really becomes terrified by my enraged screaming and I hate to do that to her.
I don't know how long I'll last tonight, but I'm going to need strong sustenance and some loving DU support to get through one and a half, fer God's sake, hours of the POS spewing!

23. He can't possibly talk that long... |

He's usually in his coffin *ahem* bed by 9pm. They're letting him stay up late cause it's a special day. :P

I had this mental picture of Bush's handlers bringing him out in the "Gimp" outfit. Then the whole speech is him going, "wmppfhfhfh, hmmmfpfpf, wmmmpffp."
That would be classic. :D

44. Just finished watching the rerun of last night's Colbert Report. |

I'm looking forward to reading about the SOTU address here. I'm just so happy that it didn't fall on my birthday this year (as it has an unfortunate tendency to do).
