E-Mail From a Reader

“The President should have prefaced his State of the Union speech with a profound moment of silence, recognizing the many thousands who died tragically in Haiti.

However, his leg never stopped tingling all night: (Hat-tip: Activity Pit.) I’m pretty sure I saw Rachel Maddow silently mouthing, “Why is this buffoon on our network?” UPDATE: Just discovered this was “Quote of the Day” at Hot Air last night.
