I’m old school. I like my beer cold, my music loud, and my politics bitterly partisan. I have to be honest though, I honestly don’t know which is sillier: assigned seating at the State of the Union, the outrage over the assigned seating at the State of the Union, or the speech itself.
We’re talking aboot a speech where the President is going to say a lot of nice things, and a half an hour after it’s done no one will remember it. Yes, a Democrat suggested in the wake of the Tuscon Shooting the two parties sit together instead of on opposing sides. The media went into overdrive doing what they do, focusing on the most vapid aspect of an already vapid event.
And our side is…upset because we’re sitting next to Democrats? Seriously? Thankfully, there’s Tom Coburn (who no, I don’t actually think is a RINO) to make sense of it all…
Good evening. I’m Congressman Paul Ryan from Janesville, Wisconsin – and Chairman here at the House Budget Committee.
