Did anyone else see some of the things I did during the broadcast?
One bizarre thing I noticed was at least two instances where the video subtly faded from one frame to another. If I had been watching it on a webcast, I would have said it was a buffering error. The first one I thought I was imagining it, but the second one was clear, if subtle. That one came, IIRC just a couple minutes before the "lookit these people in the gallery I brought in as props" segment.
He was saying something along the lines of "...and Congress fff... fun... [SPLICE] funded the program..." Visually it was obvious because there was a slight shift in Pelosi's image as she was sitting down, it faded from one position to another, as if the video had shifted a couple seconds forward. Is that possible? Could the network have had the president on a 7-second delay or something?
FWIW, I was watching the speech on disney belialABC. don't know if it would show up elsewhere.
did he make a bad fumble, which they decided to cover for?
Also in the meta vein, I found it extra hard to take anything seriously that Dubya said with Cheney smirking away right behind him. The Dick seems to have taken on the smirk-load for both of them tonight. But in particular, right when George pitched his line about reducing gas consumption by 25%, Dick looked over at someone on the Republican side of the room and winked. Seriously. Anyone who Tivo'd it, go back and check these things out, because I don't think I'm imagining them.
Any other weird meta observations about the way the speech was staged, or the way the MSM handled it?
