Madame Speaker

[Ava]

Did you realize that for the first time in our history, tonight, a President will start his State of the Union speech with the worlds "Madame Speaker" as opposed to "Mr. Speaker?"

:woohoo:

[LSparkle]

1. I have been thinking this since it became obvious we'd get the House

As a woman, I couldn't be prouder.

MADAME SPEAKER -- YOU GO, GIRL!!!

[malaise]

19. This is a very big moment for women everywhere

Go Nancy.

[TornadoTN]

2. I, for one, can't wait to hear it!

It's about time we move into the mainstream with the rest of the world. A lot of capable, intelligent and outstanding females in our history have been passed over because of their gender. Nancy can help make that a thing of the past with regards to our political system.

[monmouth]

3. I bet he screws it up, probably on purpose....

[liberalnurse]

7. I believe that he will do just that.

He is a spoiled brat................I'd bet money on it.

[jwirr]

4. Ah, a reason to watch at least the first few minutes.

[Nite Owl]

5. I haven't watched a SOTU since

Clinton's last one and am so looking forward to this. Though honestly when he starts talking I might have to put the tv on mute, don't know how long I will be able to bear that voice!

6. Yup

"Ooga Booga Smooga Wooga" to that. . .

:hug:

[Ava]

13. hehe

lol, thanks :pals:

[graywarrior]

8. I can't believe how excited I am about this!

[The Stranger]

9. The crier (or whatever he is called) will also announce, "Madame Speaker, the President of the

United States," once the joint session comes to order.

[northofdenali]

10. That's probably as far as I'll get listening to him/it!

My husband doesn't allow me near the big screen when * is speaking....... last time, I almost chucked a 9 pound piece of jade through it...


MADAM SPEAKER has a WONDERFUL sound, doesn't it? :applause::toast::applause: GO NANCY!!

[Swamp Rat]

17. Way'at Ava!

:hi:

Almost time for Keith Olberman's "Countdown!" :bounce:

Here's a photo of your inbred RW nutjob neighbors: :D

[Ava]

18. actually, most of my neighbors aren't fond of bush anymore

and there are quite a few "yellerdog" democrats on my street. ;)

[bdamomma]

12. I know this will never happen, too bad Madame Speaker

bans bushie from coming in. like I said that will never happen.

[blm]

15. It will be my favorite part of the night. No doubt.

Though I am also very much looking forward to Webb's rebuttal.

[annabanana]

16. Well, He SHOULD, . . but..

I have heard more than one old Repug misspeak themselves and address her as "Mr." Speaker. They don't even seem to notice that they've done it...
