not a cartoon, but a prediction

automatic Republican gainsaying in 3...2...1...

Snicker. You guys come up with some of the craziest horseshit.

That wasn't me trying to say that Obama is communist or whatever... it's just the flashbacks that I get. Back in USSR there were many jokes about mandated applauds during the speeches.

The applause was predictably plotted to the speech and broke along party lines based on what he was talking about. I'm pretty sure no "applause" light was needed as in TV studios of yore.

But that would be pretty funny if it were the case.

Also: you counted??!

some reporters counted. They applauded 42 times and laughed once

yeah i mean people applauding is totally like the USSR

I heard that every Soviet exhibited bilateral symmetry, and breathed in and out something like 82000 times every single day!! 0_o
WE BETTER NOT START DOIN THAT STUFF HITLUR

In Soviet Russia, your hands give you the clap.

...wait a minute...

yawn... borring

i know it's a boring argument. that's why i'm mocking it.

it's not an argument... you are hopeless

I know it's not a real argument, too.

I get what you're saying here. I think it's a hallmark of politics in general, although I think that there'd be serious repercussions for not applauding enthusiastically in your aforementioned anecdote.

It's mostly about the presenter actually reading outloud "Pause for applauds" during the speech
