Cathy McMorris Rodgers Response Was Worth Watching

Cathy McMorris Rodgers Response Was Worth WatchingI didn’t watch the President’s State of the Union Speech but I just caught the highlights on the WSJ channel on my Roku. When the highlights are content free, the decision to spend last evening with Atlas Shrugged Part I on Netflix looks like the right one.

I did, however, also watch the Republican response by Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-5 Wash). It may have been the best response ever by a Republican. Expect to see the congresswoman on a national ticket albeit she appears to have  struck a nerve and the H8ers are coming after her.

And yes, Atlas Shrugged Part I was surprisingly good.
