You know this is sad, but most likely true... myself included. Although, I did try to watch some of the speech, and some of the post speech talk, I just could not get myself interested enough in watching the actual speech in its entirety despite my supposed interest in politics. There is just too much hoopla around the one speech, as cable news already knows what will be said, what should be said, and what will not be said in the speech well in advance of the actual speech. The most enjoyment comes from seeing which members of Congress are trying to doze off, and which members get frustrated from having to alternate between sitting and standing so many times.
"I Love New York" however, is a thrill and laugh a minute if not second. The fact that we all know it's garbage, and bottom of the barrel reality television and still watch it is great. It knows not to take itself too seriously, which is something that politics can learn but chooses not to. I am not saying that politics is as simple as a "Bachelor" ripoff, but I am saying that there is a certain charm to being amused by absolutely nothing.
