I don't find myself in agreement with George Will often, unless the bow-tied curmudgeon is writing about baseball.
Will has an ongoing, and I'd guess premature since he's had it for 20 years or more, case of grumpy oldmanism.
Most Will columns can be summed up succinctly as "Hey, you kids get off my lawn!"
But on Sunday's "This Week" on ABC, he was on the money about the waste of time that the State of the Union Address has become.
I think Will is right that the State of the Union is almost never a great speech.
That's true even for presidents, like Obama, Clinton and Reagan who can give a speech. When the president is a poor speaker, like George W. Bush or Carter or Ford, the address is just interminable.
