Liveblogging the State of the Union

9:01 They're still walking in...shouldn't it be starting?
9:02 Uh, oh--according to CNN it will take the President a few minutes to walk in: does he have a Tom Brady boot that we don't know about?
9:05 Phew, no boot.
9:06 No one is standing next to Hillary...I guess the Ted's endoresment meant more than I thought.
9:08 For a guy with a 30% approval rating he's getting lot of applause.
9:11 On to the economy but all I can think about is how Cheney seems to have literally sucked the life out of Pelosi. She's fading fast.
9:15 We must balance our budget...eliminate $15 billion worth of programs and take out $150 billion loan.
9:17 I think there's something going on between Cheney and Pelosi.
9:22 Liberate poor children from bad schools...the joint chiefs are drafting an invasion strategy as we speak.
9:26 "Let's create an international agreement to limit and prevent greenhouse gases and global warming." like the Kyoto Protocols?
9:31 Did you see that look Pelosi gave Cheney? Don't tell me there's nothing going on there, that was pining if I've ever seen it.
9:35 No made up words yet, this state of the union seems like it was written. I didn't know the administration had signed with the WGA.
9:40 The people sitting right under Bush are going to have some sore necks tomorrow.
9:42 Iraqis are following our lead, the surge is contagious. Too bad we didn't do the surge from start.
9:48 I think Dick Cheney just passed a note to Nancy Pelosi (or should I say Nancy Capulet).
9:51 You hear that Israel and Palestine? Get you're shit together already.
9:52 Iran keep you're damn motor boats away from our ships!
9:54 How come this is the first I've heard about these foiled plots? Pelosi is gazing longingly at Cheney again
9:55 "Yes, I know about Darfur!"
9:56 I swear they are holding hands!
9:59 Bob Dole...Bob Dole...Bob Dole...Bob Dole
10:00 Expanding the G.I. Bill, I really would not have guessed that was part of the agenda
10:02 I'm not sure if that really enlightened me on too many details other than the fact Cheney is most likely a vampire who has taken Pelosi as his bride.
10:03 Hey, a Jeff Garlin special on HBO!
