If South Carolina governor Nikki Haley’s close-mouthed audition tape didn’t make her political aspirations explicitly clear last night, perhaps the AP can clarify: She would very much like to work in the White House.
Tonight, at 9 p.m. Eastern, President Barack Obama will deliver his final State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. The White House has promised a “non-traditional speech.” It’s a stretch, but that could mean the outgoing president will reveal himself to be a member of an interdimensional race of…
In a fantastic troll perpetrated by an unnamed congressman and the Family Research Council, Kim Davis will attend tonight’s State of the Union address to deliver a truly, uplifting message: No matter how ignorant or rude you are, you can still get access to our nation’s leaders.
Middle class economics, ISIL (that's ISIS for you common folk), hackers and astronauts: here's what you missed in this year's State of the Union address.
Six years into the Obama presidency, I thought we'd finally run out of hotshot administration bros the political press could glowingly profile in exchange for future access to meaningless scooplets. I was wrong.
Is that the State of the Union, or is Biden just happy to see someone?
Last night, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) got cottonmouthed, wiped and licked his lips and finally interrupted his delivery of the GOP response to the State of the Union to bend over and drink some water. By now, you've read someone explaining why this proves Rubio is not presidential material. Or is. Whatever.
After all that brouhaha over Ted Nugent — you know, the guy who threatened to kill President Obama — getting invited to the State of the Union by Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX), the hard-talking, pants-shitting rocker was seldom seen throughout the evening.
You ask: why do I need a GIF of New York Senator Chuck Schumer nodding creepily at last night's State of the Union address? But you misunderstand: it is not the need that creates the GIF, but the GIF that creates the need.
This is President Obama doing an exploding fist bump with someone Sen. Mark Kirk (R - Ill.), who had a stroke in 2012, after the president's arrival and before his speech. That's right: not just an exploding fist bump, an exploding fist bump with a Republican. The state of our union is dope, y'all.
On last night's Real Time—during what amounted to a heated panel discussion—Bill Maher couldn't resist making comment on Michele Bachmann's bizarre post-State of the Union response. What was CNN thinking as Bachmann spoke/avoided eye contact? Maher provided captions.
On tonight's Report, Stephen Colbert declared that he was inspired by yesterday's State of the Union address by President Obama—and especially the part about "winning the future." So, Colbert stayed up all night inventing things! His creations, inside.
Tonight, Jon Stewart opened with his analysis of last night's State of the Union Address by President Obama—and he delivered. Inside, watch three highlights from Stewart's segment, about our "Sputnik moment," audience member Kathy Proctor, and Michele Bachmann.
Barack Obama's State of the Union speech last night centered on "winning the future," a mindless incantation that means nothing and actually sprang from the mind of Newt Gingrich, America's greatest simpleton.
Tonight, during his State of the Union address, President Obama mentioned the trend of people without jobs going back to school. He used Kathy Proctor—a student at Forsyth Tech in North Carolina—as an example. She was quite excited.
Barack Obama's first State of the Union was not a particularly soaring or pretty speech. But it was really the model every future president should look to when composing their own.
State of the Union time! There will be special commenting, and drinking, from your favorite bloggers, as long as your favorite bloggers are me! But what should we expect, and when should we drink?
Barack Obama's first State of the Union address will be on Wednesday, January 27. Just in time to not sign a health care reform bill!
The Times let embittered and oft-inaccurate tv critic Alessandra Stanley write about something a little more weighty than Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles in today's paper. She gets to review the President's "State of the Union" speech, which happens on TV, yes, but it doesn't involve explosions and there are not…
