Culture Ghost was wondering about the “best” way to view the speech. I don’t watch television, but if I did, I would probably turn off the sound and put on a George Carlin album.

You could go Woody Allen, and pull a What’s Up, Tiger Lily, use the video and write your own dialogue, then dub it in a bad Henry Kissinger or Richard Nixon imitation.

Then you overdub with audience reaction of your choice like Mystery Science Theater.

I did catch the call for the “line item veto”. I guess no one told him that Bill Clinton had it until the Supreme Court pointed out that Congress can’t give away its powers. Of course, with Alito on the Court it may be possible now.

I wonder how the Religious Reich feels about having five Catholics on the Court? That could be an interesting situation given the general view of Catholics among many fundamentalist sects. I wouldn’t have brought that up, but it shut up a neighbor who was ragging on me over the failure of the filibuster.
