SOTU, STHU
I missed the State of the Union address; tickets for a clash between rivals in the "worst division in NBA history" won out. But Ezra Klein did a good running commentary, and thinkprogress.org did insta-fact-checking.
As for that cheering you may have heard in the press box (not at the Celtics game), look no futher than Jeff Gannon, a journalistic cipher who's been given good seats at White House press conferences and allowed to lob softball questions at the president or his press secretary. "Mr. Bush, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. What makes you so popular?"
I think, until proven otherwise, any professional journalist or Fox News reporter should be assumed to be on the Administraion's payroll.
And if you heard any booing (or "Boo-ushing"), it's because those scoundrel Democrats committed the unprecedented sin of jeering at the SOTU speech. Unprecedented, that is, unless you count the annual Republican booing of Clinton.
