Fine, President Obama may have delivered his first speech to a joint session of Congress, but let's really get down to brass tacks: Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal didsound eerily like Kenneth the Page during the GOP response. That crossover audience of 30 Rock fans and presidential address watchers were probably expecting Jindal to break into "Top That." The other dominant non-policy observation was that Michelle Obama was going sleeveless again (this time, in Narciso Rodriguez), with the Times' The Caucus blog noting, "Mrs. Obama’s super-sculpted arms are the result of years of effort." However, we expect this bit of news to blow everything out of the water: The Obamas are looking for a rescue Portuguese water dog to join them in the White House this April.
