>>How about Dick Durbin's refusal to stand or applaud on several occasions?<<

That's part of what makes it fun to be an American, the ability to disagree with the most powerful man on earth right where he can see you, and everybody just shrugs their shoulders. Not that it's unique - I get a kick out of the British Parliament when they start yelling at Tony Blair, not that I understand what they're saying.

Contrast that with the rapt obedience before Saddam and Kim Jung Il. Yuck.
