re: #44 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Was there not a blowup about Nancy not inviting him to give a SOTU at one point?

Probably. I also remember that being the plot to a whole episode of the West Wing.

I would sort of love for a president to just release a written report and skip all the bullshit that a speech entails. But I doubt that will happen in my life time… barring a freak illness or some such.
