"George Will rejects SOTU ‘pep rally’..."
I with George Will on this issue...
Jeff Poor writes about it at DailyCaller.com:
"On ABC’s “This Week with Christiane Amanpour” Sunday, Washington Post columnist George Will was soundly dismissive of the event, likening it to a 'pep rally.'
'A, they’re overrated — the next morning, the country is still a complex continental country with muscular interests in politics as its own momentum,' Will said. 'Between Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson, no one delivered this in person. They sent the report to Congress in writing. But, now we’ve turned this into this panorama. In which an interminable speech, every president, regardless of party — tries to stroke every erogenous zone in the electorate and it becomes a political pep rally, to use the phrase of Chief Justice [John] Roberts last year.'"
