    And then what about Huckabee's "normal vs crazy" speech. Based on bae's photos, I wonder what side of the aisle "crazy" is on?

    Personally I loved the Jerry Springer vibe that republicans brought to the SOTU. It seemed very on brand for them.

    I thought it was more of a pale imitation of Britain's Parliament in the midst of a campaign rally disguised as a SOTU address.

    That’s what I thought of too, the jeering and yelling in Parliament. The first time I heard that it in the staid House of Commons I was shocked, but then later learned that not unusual.

    So you thought the republicans did a sad sack half assed attempt to look like British people? They worked really hard at their clown show. I’m sorry you weren’t impressed. Although I suppose you’ll keep voting for those clowns either way so you probably weren’t their target audience.

    I thought the reaction to the President's attempt to slander them all by mis-representing their goals was reminiscent of most every meeting of Parliament I've ever seen. Nothing more, nothing less. Spin it as you wish.

    I think the speech revealed the broad outlines of what a Biden presidential campaign will look like. Alternate calls for unity with partisan attacks. Portray climbing out of an economic hole as soaring. The early polls show it seemed to work with Democrats, with the percentage wanting him to run again increasing from 38% to 54%.

    My take was this was pre-planned to demonstrate that Biden is still sharp and in charge of his mental facilities. He laid a trap which the GOP fell for. I can guess it was something the speech writers came up with rather than Biden himself.

    But yes, there was a reminisce of Parliament.

    I was especially impressed with how he demoted Chuck Schumer to minority leader.
