OMG! MSNBC just played some of the tweets those Republicans were sending during the speech

[Skidmore]

and they were downright childish. Did anyone else catch that? They had Gingerich's, Barton (TX), and a couple of others, all making snide remarks about Pelosi and the President.

1. Isn't it illegal to have electronic devices on the house floor/senate floor

or did that rule go away with the Mark "Mr. McFeely" Foley Page scandal.

[hisownpetard]

5. If it isn't, it should be.

[MercutioATC]

7. Senate floor, yes...House floor, no.

[bdamomma]

2. very immature of them

[Aloha Spirit]

3. Obama tries to lead by example

But some of these people can't hold back their inner jerk.
I cannot believe they feel so free to share on twitter.
I hope this continues.

[geardaddy]

4. link?

[City Lights]

6. DIdn't see it, but it doesn't surprise me at all.

Most republicants never matured beyond the middle-school level. I hope they're played at the top and bottom of every hour on every cable channel. Show the public what they're really all about.

8. Does Vitter the shitter Twitter?

Gotta keep up with the Diaper Sex Republicon Homelanders...

[crikkett]

11. So, basically, the Republicans behaved like a classroom full

of middle school children.

Color me not surprised.

[Kalyke]

12. LMAO! The Dem Tweets sound like DU, even down to the verbage!

Fresh Air: "One doesn't want to sound snarky, but it is nice not to see Cheney up there."

The fan boy: "Can't put the speech down. Messages so welcome and so overdue. Can't wait to see if any changes and how he delivers, and reaction in chamber"

Excitement: "Energy, healthcare and education! Right on!"

The Critic: "Strong language. Well crafted. Not so many applause lines. Some in the audience not sure how to react."

Romance: "One of the teleprompters is directly between the President and me. But I am sure he delivered the line about stark budget realities to me"

Cheerleader: "Requests legislation for market based cap on carbon pollution. I am the first one standing and cheering."

More Cheerleading: "Some Republican Senators are standing and clapping, including McCain. Great!"

The lifting of oppression: "Best line: "For 7 years we have been at war. No longer will we hide its price."

On an Obama high: "Wow! As it settles in, I can only say: he hit it out of the park! Just what Congress and American people need to hear! Yes we can!"

And then a few moments later when Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal gave the Republican response to the President's speech, Blumenauer's high turned to . . .

Post-Obama Speech Hangover: "Jindal is weird. I can't believe Jindal. Such a sad contrast with President. Doesn't even look or sound good, to say nothing about content."

[Arugula Latte]

20. "Jindal is weird."

That about sums it up. :rofl:

[tanyev]

13. Zach Wamp seems to be a little hazy on what the last 8 years were...

Rep. Zach Wamp (TN): Sitting at the State of the Union listening to words like responsibilty and accountability just days after a reckless spending spree.

Joe Barton conveniently blamed a staffer for this childishness:

Rep. Joe Barton (TX): Aggie basketball game is about to start on espn2 for those of you that aren't going to bother watching pelosi smirk for the next hour.

[leftofthedial]

14. twats all atwitter tweeting twixt themselves

they did sound like a bunch of junior high boys

[crikkett]

16. i'm offended

you cant say that t-word and not be spanked for it
:spank:

[leftofthedial]

19. thank you!

may I have another?

[crikkett]

23. oh you bad, bad lefty

:spank:

[Caretha]

18. Technology, ain't it grand?

Not so much when it highlights the clowns elected to represent us. The ones "twittering" (is that the correct term?)need a 2x4 upside the head. No wonder our government is such a damn mess. It gives me no confidence to know that there are some with a junior high mentality and they are members of House & Senate. Rome burning comes to mind. :grr:

[malletgirl02]

21. On CSPAN

On CSPAN I don't know if the person was twittering, but I saw someone using a blackberry during Obama's speech.
