You know, one of these "journalist-interviewing-journalist" examples of the media equivalent of mutual masturbation.

Anyway, the guys entire breathless pontification was how this "balloon completely blew up the entire SOTU".

That's NOT "news", that's trying to push the narrative that the "entire SOTU" has been "blown-up".

You could see and feel the glee...AND THE HOPE that every other serious, important and historical thing that President Biden and the Democratic Party has achieved in the past 2 years, was simply blown up by a fucking balloon.
