But it may well be too rousing for them to risk the poo-pooing during it, either later tonight or in a hundreds word editorial.

Expect at least one TWM post sarcastically invoking the third way, along with other posts talking about fast track for TPP, and at least one calling the president a war monger, further comments about how the president had 6 years to take to the bully pulpit but capitulated until he lost the legislative branch finitely, as per his corporate handlers.
