SOTU, first impressions

With his legendary love of alcohol, Stephen Green is the resident lush at Instapundit, and he has a tradition of "drunkblogging" State of the Union addresses. When the drunkblog is active, it's constantly updated, with the most recent entries on top. If you want to read the thing from the beginning, then, you have to scroll to the "end" and work your way backwards. Just follow the time stamps. Here's a link to the drunkblog, and below, I've included a few choice words from Green. Over the next few days, you can expect Biden's speech to be fact-checked to hell. I predict at least 70% lies. Meanwhile, here are some quotable quotes:

9:04 p.m.

Here he comes, doing the Old Man Shuffle.

To be fair though, he does look well and properly medicated. He ought to do a decent job delivering the speech.

__________

9:12 p.m.

Oh, wow. This is going off the rails quickly as Biden is trying to praise Chuck Schumer. STICK TO THE SCRIPT, JOE is what they're yelling at TVs in the West Wing.

__________

9:14 p.m.

"Our democracy remains unbowed and unbroken."

It's a shame about our Republic, though, broke and ruled by the cabal behind this overmedicated mediocrity.

__________

9:21 p.m.

Don't you just love the sight of congresscritters applauding themselves for spending your money?

Yeah, me neither.

__________

9:24 p.m.

Tomorrow's big meme should be "Old Man Yells at Infrastructure."

Make it so, people.

Biden says, "We're just getting started" on the spending and that's what scares me.

__________

9:31 p.m.

Here's where Biden takes credit -- again! -- for re-doing the Trump insulin order that he undid during his first days in office.

I'd marvel at the gall, but this is the Biden we've known for decades.

__________

9:54 p.m. (quoting Mollie Hemingway on Twitter)

"I know the lies are coming so fast and so furiously and so incoherently that it's hard to keep track, but did he just claim his wife is a full-time teacher?"

__________

10:08 p.m.

His good hour ended a few minutes ago and his ability to speak is falling fast.

__________

10:18 p.m. (quoting Ben Shapiro on Twitter)

"This speech is an unlistenable, endless litany of odd demands combined with fantastical falsehoods."

ADDENDUM: the tweet that's getting a lot of play right now is this:

We'll have to forgive the confusion of everyday and every day. But in case you're wondering, everyday is an adjective meaning "ordinary," but every day is an adverb of frequency. The Gay Patriot meant to say "every day."

  • A talking penis isn't something you see every day.
  • For half the country, seeing a president with a 40 IQ is an everyday thing.
