<\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object>Last year, during the SOTU, we spent all night live blogging the inappropriate arrest of Cindy Sheehan<\/a> for wearing a T-shirt to the State of the Union address. And, naturally, the misreporting of it by CNN, AP et al. We’re hoping for a less eventful SOTU tonight, personally, but lord only knows what could happen. If it does, we’ll be here.<\/p>\n

But so will you. So, to that end, consider this a SOTU Open Thread. Have at it!<\/p>\n

To get you warmed up, if you need it, see the rather hysterical parody SOTU at right and the quite amusing Democratic response that follows. We’re sure neither will be anything at all like the actual versions. (Hat-tip Atrios for the vid<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

For your more serious types, RAW STORY has advance excerpts from the speech right here<\/a> and Webb’s response right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if you’re wondering what came of our call<\/a> for Sen. Jim Webb to be allowed to give his Democratic Party Response to the full joint session of Congress just after Bush, here’s the final word from Speaker Pelosi’s office<\/a> on it.<\/p>\n

Oh…and if you’re interested, I was on San Antonio’s KTSA with Chris Duel<\/a> this afternoon discussing it (and delighting everyone in Texas by calling George W. Bush a criminal!) That radio appearance is right here [MP3, appx. 15 mins]<\/a><\/p>\n
