Andy wanted to talk about the State of the Union address. There isn't anything to talk about. It was a dreamed up set of words with absolutely NOTHING to do with Bush's focus. FOCUS. Try focusing on that graph.

This is the American Research Group. They do this every year. They try to find the high points and the low points so others can learn how to make good speeches and bad ones. The American Research Groups assumes there is at least one GREAT speech of duration every year and that is the State of the Union.

That is sometimes true about The State of the Union

This year the State of the Union address had NO high spots, it had a lot of low spots, but, more than that. Bush absolutely 'lost it.' Ah-ha. He lost it back in November and there just seems to be no putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Yep.

JOE KLEIN, "TIME" MAGAZINE COLUMNIST: I don't think so. I think that what we were getting here was the same old rhetoric, and also, I think that if there was any headline in this speech, is that he really did open a discussion on health insurance and on health policy this time.

But I agree with Andrew, this speech was genuinely underwhelming, and I would suspect an awful lot of people were watching "American Idol," which may be affecting Bill Schneider's numbers there.

THERE YOU GO. A man with his pulse on reality. Andy should try it sometime. I have yet to understand the 'merit' in American Idol. It is a stupid show and people go on 'it' to be seen. You know. I have yet to watch one episode or show or segment of American Idol. I find it just that insulting.
