(funny) visuals from tonight's speech.
First off, instead of the usual "triumph" swagger into the House with much clapping, handshaking, pats on the back, Chucklenuts will have to "strut" that walk alone. I see people recoiling back trying not to be seen in the same frame as Commander Coocoobananas. They'll be studying their "programs," looking at the ceiling, filing their nails, talking on their cell phones (maybe to a page?) and maybe a little tepid applause but very little acknowledging they even know the asswipe in the aisle - much less they took one up the keister for this clown. Under no circumstances will they bear hug, exchange sloppy kisses or allow him to rub their heads (well, except Lying Joe - he needs him some CIC hugs and kisses to get through the night). Many will be up for re-election and they can't afford a McClain or Lieberman moment recorded for their opponents.
Then there will be the obligatory nods to whomever is sitting with Pickles, Lying Lynn, Jenna and Not Jenna. (Ya think Poppy Bush and Babs will find the gumption to show up and pretend they still claim their Idiot Son?) KKKarl will have to stuff the box with a selection of war vets, Katrina homeless people, maybe a couple of brain dead patients propped up in the box and a few snowflake babies to round out the entourage.
We will see crowd shots of Blunt and McConnell looking very "Count Draculay," pale washed out in dire need of some sunlight. We'll see the little red-headed "moran" from Florida that is the repugs microphone whore will be picking his nose, Hassert will skip the event all together. Dead Eye, well, he'll be Dead Eye - he can't work up any emotions except for scowl, sneer, and a few choice curse words for the event. The Dems will be polite, quiet, and dignified for the occasion but that's about it. If they boo, hiss, turn their backs - well that is icing on the cake.
And if there is a god, we will see Pelosi taking her gavel and hitting Chucklenuts over the head like a schoolmarm and tell him to tell the truth. (I can dream!)
That's what I'm expecting to see. The speech will be the usual canned BS nonsense, Chucklenuts will mangle the English language, he will smirk, laugh inappropriately, pause in awkward points waiting for applause, lie his ass off, and pretend he is relevant - those are all givens. But what will his party do during the speech? Those will be the money shots.
I think the camera panning the crowd will be much more interesting. Which politicians will still wildly cheer for this yahoo and which ones will be sitting on their hands hoping the folks back home aren't watching? Any other visuals we can look forward to tonight?
