Like a good li'l citizen, I gamely tried to watch the Imbecile in Chief stumble reading words someone wrote for him, but despite my best efforts, and even though I have plenty of inebrients in the house, I can't stomach the boring, sock puppet routine for more than five minutes without getting up. The constant jack-in-the-box applause reponse bullshit is just too annoying. I suppose it helps the Dauphin by creating long, long pauses between sentences.
At least I got to see Dikembe Mutumbo get the standing O he deserves - wiki adds:

Anyway, was there really a point to the thing? I missed it, if there was.
I should have played this game

I remember a friend of mine arguing Nancy was a dumb twit way back when she was chosen speaker for the minority --then.
Although I have this thing about rich people, I got to admit she cracks me up. Maybe that was the only way she found to stay quiet.
You did better than me. I didn't even try to stomach his speech. I knew I would just get annoyed and bored...
