Why on earth are we having Reid and Pelosi deliver a joint response?

[dolstein]

If the Democrats were smart, they'd pick the most appealing and articulate member (Obama) or perhaps someone from outside of Congress (Wes Clark? John Edwards?) to deliver their response to the State of the Union. Neither Reid nor Pelosi were chosen as leaders of their respective caucus because of their oratorical skills, and having both of them on camera just looks silly.

1. Cause clearly last year it went so horribly, why not do it again for ...

old times sake?

EDIT: Last time it was Pelosi, and Daschle?

[napi21]

2. Oh, I think they'll do just fine. I watched both of them yesterday

when they did some pre SOU speeches, and they both did pretty well.

3. Shit, when even Dolstein is hating our resident DLC shills.....

....that lets you know how pathetic our so called "leadership" is.

Skate punks want to be like Harry Reid?

Yeah fuckin right :eyes:

Bring on DNC chair Howard Dean and some REAL goddamn leaders in this party.

6. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner here!

If dolstein thinks that Reid and Pelosi are pathetic in their response to our Holy American Emperor, how will the progressive base see them as? At least they didn't kiss Bush like Lieberman did.

Pelosi's nose job, face lift(s), and BOTOX make her look like Joan Rivers.

4. House & Senate. We're ganging up on them.

7. go Pelosi...

you go girl...trite as the saying is, she's the only one in congress with the cahones to stand up against this stupid, ignorant, and incompetence of this administration!!!

[Orangepeel]

8. probably because everybody wanted to do it

ask the congress who the most appealing and articulate member is and you'll here 535 "me"s. :-)

9. My thoughts exactly, though I referred to it as "tag-team style."

:D

[Jacobin]

10. Because we are leaderless

[ClarkUSA]

11. Because they are the House Minority and Senate Minority leaders

and this is the way it has been since the first SOTU. And I liked Reid's words. He hit the right note for regular Joes and Janes and the senior set who are not political junkies.
