The State of the Union

First of all, this is awesome. There is no telling how many drinking games Wonkette could create from this graphic. You can discover all sorts of interesting facts, like in 2004 (Election year) Bush mentioned marriage nine times. This year? None.

Otherwise, my review of the SOTU goes like this:
Margaret Spellings has awful hair.
Nancy Pelosi is the most stylish female politician, like, ever (in that Washington way).
How clever that Hilary is seated directly above Obama. Did the networks plan it that way?
Bush’s suit is far too blue. It’s that cheap-suit blue. And what’s with the pale blue tie? Ugh.
Who is that guy with the big nose? Oh, it’s Sen. Chuck Grassley. As I said, who is that guy? What is he running for again?
Bush wants to support Belarus? Huh? Since WHEN?
Webb has some bad hair too. He also has no charisma, at least in this speech.

In brief, before you go on national television for the wonkiest night of the year, go treat yourself to a good stylist. And, as you should have learned from watching "The Princess Bride" in childhood, never get involved in a land war in Asia.
