State of the Union Address: President Bush makes a plea to pass legislation to prohibit human-animal hybrids. Jason Jones talks about America's addiction to oil, switch grass, and a special engine that bears a striking resemblance to a bong. Every year the Democratic Party chooses a rising star to give the Democratic response to the State of the Union Address. Author and Presidential historian Michael Beschloss explains to Jon why the State of the Union Address, and the rebuttal, seem like a group of people putting on a children's theatre show and also discuss presidential speech patterns and the importance of applause during the Address. Stephen Colbert notes that the State of the Union Address was full of the same old cheap rhetorical tricks. Moment of Zen: A montage of reactions to the State of the Union Address.
