Quick State of the Union Notes

I think it is interesting that Barack Obama was sitting directly in front of Hillary Clinton. Do they do assigned seats for this?

Dikembe Mutombo may be the most random (and tallest) person ever to be in the Congressional gallery for the State of the Union. I'm guessing he is not being honored for moving into second on the NBA's block list. Would he have been there if the Houston Rockets were playing tonight?

The members of Congress asking for autographs of President Bush looked pathetic. How soon will those autographs be on eBay? Actually, they will probably be on eBay in a few years when Bush is out of office and his approval rating is better.
