A State of the Union ... snoozefest?

Tuesday's our deadline day here, so I won't be listening myself but reading text, but Andrew's (Sullivan, that is) insider description is not promising:

I just got briefed a little, in a rare moment of outreach from the White House communications team. Everything is embargoed, so no details. And being briefed about the contents is not the same as listening Obama deliver the case. But sheesh. Get some caffeine ready.


ADDED: Curious that they "brief" bloggers like Sullivan beforehand. Do you suppose they've got him down as a "gay constituent representative" or something? Or perhaps The Daily Beast has more political power in Washington that we in the heartland suspect?

I wonder if he's one of a select few, or if the Obama administration is reaching out and touching a good number of "journolists" this afternoon...

Whatever. Happy Telepromter Reading, Mr. President.
