Average in terms of word count. The speech was interrupted 83 times for applause, according to a tally by the national journal. There was no notable disruption in the audience this year, no moment like a republican congressman yelling you lie the way congressman joe wilson did during the joint address to congress back in 2009 there was no moment like a Supreme Court justice muttering a rebuttal to the president from the rows up front the way Justice Samuel alito did in 2010. There was one moment of the speech, though, last night where you heard something from the room. You heard a gasp from the room in response to something that the president said. We should follow the example of the north miami woman named Desiline Victor. When desiline arrived at her polling place, she was told the wait to vote might be six hours. As time ticked by, her concern was not with her tired body or aching feet, but whether folks like her would get to have their say. Hour after hour, a throng of people staye

As time ticked by, her concern was not with her tired body or aching feet, but whether folks like her would get to have their say. Hour after hour, a throng of people stayed in line to support her. Because desiline is 102 years old. And they erupted in cheers when she finally put on a sticker that r
Would condemn it, but theyre not smart, theyre scared. Theyre going to get hammered in future elections if they allow this clown to continue to lead them around by their nose. Joining me now to talk more is wyomings republican senator John Barrasso also a member of the gop Leadership Team and chair of the republican policy center. We showed there harry reid talking this morning from the floor. I want to show this what harry reid is describing whats going on in our nations capital. This isnt high school. Getting ready for a football game. Or some play being produced in high school. Were trying to confirm somebody to run the defenses of our country. You said you would be a no vote on hagel. If so, why . Yes, anyone that saw the confirmation hearing knows that chuck hagels presentation was weak and wobbly. And democrats are very embarrassed by this nominee, but they feel committed to have to stand with the president in spite of the fact theyre not very happy with the choice either. We hav
View, are completely unobjectionable. Dick gregory titled his first autobiography, nigger an autobiography. And Richard Pryor with two great albums, that nigger is crazy and bicentennial nigger. Host when you wrote the book, it was published in 2002. What reaction did you get . Host when i do. Guest when i wrote the book i got a lot of reaction, some positive and some negative.

And it will be probably within the next 48 hours that they would make a positive identification. Thats the ed show. Im ed schultz. The Rachel Maddow show is starting right now. Thank you, ed.
