Wonkette claims to break the embargo (what’s an embargo?) with pre-excerpts and pre-reactions.

Tech Central Station has this to say:

The Internet continues to liberate citizens from the information stranglehold once enjoyed by the establishment media. The President’s State of the Union Address Wednesday night demonstrates precisely how it’s happening. Consider the phenomenon of live blogging

As recently as a few years ago, politically interested Americans could watch the President’s speech and then were subjected to the post-speech spin and analysis on the networks and cable news channels, and the major newspaper coverage the following day.

But the Internet empowers Americans to take active part in this process through “live-blogging”. During the President’s speech, bloggers will be analyzing and commenting on the speech in real time, posting on their website their own views, knowledge and perspectives as the speech unfolds.

An interesting thing to watch will be whether the event-blogging will bog down blogger.

More lists here and here.

When the camera focused on Dana Reeve during the speech, I couldn’t help but think of this quote by Edwards:

“If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.”

Wow. He hit a homerun with that choreographed hug. If that doesn’t move you, nothing will.

The Rebuttal:

Harry Ried says a 10 year old could do better than him.

Pelosi says the troops have the gratitude of every American. I’ll have to research that one later…

Man, this rebuttal stuff is boring.

LOL at Yankee from Mississipi: “10:20 - Is it just me or is her face not moving?”

Glenn Reynolds, Instapundit, says “Bush’s best speech ever.”
