Look, I thought last night's speech was about the State of the Onion. What do I know, I'm Canadian, eh?

Last night during the SOTU and afterward, Kossacks were out in full snark. There were some glorious remarks to be found in real-time diaries and comments. Not every word of wisdom can be nominated, nor get the full attention of everyone as the words are flying fast and furious.
In the spirit of Top Comments, here I present just a few personal favorites from the comments last night.
From "President Obama's State of the Union address, #1" by Joan McCarter:
By Vita Brevis:
Graham and Gramps
Joined at the hip
By tlsmith:
Bobby Jindal already lost the night
I'll save you 45 mins. Obama will decry Republicans, beat up on private business, and argue for more "free stuff". Your welcome. #SITU2015" - @BobbyJindal
He is getting savaged for his grammer ("you're" not "your").
By vassmer:
With Boehner's red face & purple tie...
He looks like a garish Easter egg (pickled, of course.)
By Bill in Portland Maine:
They're in a clapping mood tonight.
Must've been an open bar.
From "
President Obama's State of the Union address, #2" by
Joan McCarter:
By Bill in Portland Maine:
Hey...
What kind of SOTU is this??? He hasn't mentioned aluminum tubes or significant quantities of uranium from Africa yet. Not once!
By mbayrob:
The dummies just clapped for vets
I had thought those GOP seats were filled with mannequins. First time I've seen anything move there.
By Vita Brevis:
Infrastructure!
Rachel Maddow and I just had a nerdgasm
By Bill in Portland Maine: (and don't let anybody tell you he slacks off when it's not the morning shift)
Please, astronauts...
Take Louie Gohmert with you to Mars.
By michelewln:
No
Mars deserves better than that.
By nicejoest:
Paul Ryan
looks like he just swallowed an entire lemon.
From "
President Obama's State of the Union address, #3" by
Joan McCarter:
By raptavio:
If you ever wanted to know
what it looks like when 301 sphincters snap shut simultaneously, now you know.
By SteelerGrrl:
If Boehner sinks
Any lower in that chair, he's gonna slide off.
By Vita Brevis:
Suck it GOP Putin lovers
How you like Vlad now?
By RenaRF:
Take THAT, John McCain.
Does anyone think in the close-shot of McCain that they just provided that he really understood what was just said??
By exMnLiberal:
Where the F*k has this man been
the past 7 years?
By JayC:
When Pres. Obama spoke of Cuba
MSNBC turned a camera to Marco Rubio.
But it was hard to see him because he was sitting while the people in front of him stood to applaud.
Heh heh.
By gchaucer2:
Generally these SOTU addresses
are blah, blah, we will blah, blah, blah.
This one feels like "fuck you GOP, here's what I'm doing. Sorry, my base, I'm going to do stuff that pisses you the fuck off. I'm the President -- not a partisan. I'm going to fuck up some stuff and hopefully not fuck up everyone but the fucking rich."
Just my read of this speech. It is not a "I have a dream" speech -- just something to all United Staters who are all not on the same page.
By AdmiralNaismith:
Omigosh, he praised transgender people!
I think we just gained Democratic majorities in three Congressional districts from Republicans choking to death on their own vomit.
By Leftcandid:
"I still believe the cynics are wrong."
Camera cuts to cynics.
Love. It.
By Risen Tree:
HAHAHAHAHA
The SECOND Obama mentions gay marriage, Boehner wipes a tear away from his eye! Keep crying, Orangeman!
From "
President Obama's State of the Union address, #4" by
Joan McCarter:
By yg17:
That fucking orange asshole can't even
applaud people voting. These campaign ads write themselves.
By JoanMar:
The man is on FIRE!!
"I know because I won both of them."
Shade!
By jayden:
Short version
Quit being petty stubborn childish assholes and do your fucking jobs already.
By jayden:
And now we cut to Joni scambling on the floor
trying to find the microphone or perhaps castrate a pig...
By Bill in Portland Maine:
God I hate this.
Rep. Vivian Foxx---real nutjob---slams Obama in the rudest terms, but then she gets his autograph at the State of the Union and jumps around giddy as a school girl. Pathetic.
By Thinking Fella:
Will she be known as
'The Hog Lady'
or
'The Bread Bag Lady'?
SweetJesusonapogostick the bar to be a U.S. Senator is low.
By certainot:
peter williams slaps down chuck todd
todd goes right to for the throat- obama's maybe got three things that will pass - the rest is crap
williams basically says, thanks a lot todd, you didn't waste any time
By Risen Tree:
Why is she e-nun-ci-a-ting ev-ery frea-king
syll-a-ble?? She sounds like one of these people talking in a condescending manner to people who can't understand English very well.
By RenaRF:
Ernst "response":
1. Breadbags on your shoes will be in the spring issue of Vogue
2. Obamacare is bad and sucks and is failing and all that.
3. Keystone will create every job every needed by anyone anywhere.
4. Obama needs to enable... things.
5. Military yay!
By Tardisgal:
Listening to her speech brought me back to
listening to the 700 Club at my grandparents house.
By ricky63:
How did this simple-minded amateur
..become a US Senator?
From "
Republicans are a tough crowd" by
Hunter:
By speedingpullet:
Not sexist in the slightest.
I'm a woman, and she's creeping ME the f%^k out.
Actually, I couldn't listen to her. I TiVo'd through her 'response'. She could crack a molar if she clenches her jaw any more.
By 88kathy:
pull yourself up by your bread bags.
TOP COMMENTS
January 21, 2015
Thanks to tonight's Top Comments contributors! Let us hear from YOU
when you find that proficient comment.
From elenacarlena:
In Hunter's diary "Republicans are a tough crowd", Dallasdoc's comment is a very funny response to Joni Ernst's response to the SOTU address.
From raina:
In bubbanomics' diary "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!", these two were hilarious, in reference to Obama saying he had no more campaigns to run:
88kathy commented on clappin' and slappin', and bubbanomics followed up with another rhyme.
From Puddytat:
In Walter Einenkel's diary "Journalist thanks Don Lemon for making him famous with racist dumb-ass question", ontheleftcoast literally talks about lemons, as Puddytat says: Whether it's snark or irony, I know not. I just know I had fun reading this take on doorus Don Lemon making a journalist famous with his profoundly Islamophobic and racist questioning
From smileycreek:
In LiberalCanuck's diary "Should We Honour Service in an Unjust War?", first-time commenter and Iraq/Afghanistan veteran saraelisabeth02 tells us what it's really like to be called a hero for doing her job and gives more insight into what it's like to be a soldier in the field.
Flagged by Siris:
In Jen Hayden's diary "Female veteran finds nasty note on her car after parking in 'reserved for veterans' spot", CwV claims that morans outnumber us, followed by AJayne's observation that the morans are just more shamelessly visible.
