OK mi gente, here goes our liveblogging of the last ever SOTU address by a Bush (until George P. gets elected).

Of course in bullet form, I can´t be expected to participate in the SOTU drinking game and write in full paragraphs as well.

• Xavier Becerra just gave a big hug to Barack Obama.

• Hilda Solís enters in mauve very cozy with Hillary Clinton

• This is not really a “Latino” comment per se, but Cheney looks really, really sour

• Supreme Court justices enter, oh wait, no Hispanics, EVER.

• Ileana Ros Lehtinen, is wearing red, again!!!! She always manages to get on camera.

• Secretary of Commerce, Carlos Gutiérrez enters, dollar continues to fall, he is not wearing red.

• Ileana Ros Lehtinen gets close to Bush, fails to get a kiss.

• Loretta Sánchez hanging out close by, also wearing red.

• Some guy with a strange generic voice is translating for Bush on Univision

• Bush just said Hispanic students

• OMG HE DID mention Latin America!!!! Peru, Colombia and Panamá, camera pans to Carlos Guitiérrez

• OMG he mentions Colombia again, and says if U.S. doesn´t approve free trade, Hugo Chávez wins.

• Senator Salazar, Hispanic sitting closest to Obama…. oh wait, he is trying to be close to Ted Kennedy.

• Ok, so here goes the immigration part.. hmm where have I heard this thing before…

• So far no Latinos have booed Bush… What are they waiting for??????

• I know she is not Latina, but where is Cindy Sheehan???? this is getting waaay too long…

• OK this post is getting long.

• Bush mentions Los Angeles, and something about 9-11, kind of reminds us of all those fake terror alerts…

• Cuba!!!! of course it was mentioned in the same sentence as Zimbabwe so who know what that was about.

Ken Salazar says hi to Bush, he is all smiles.

• Ileana Ros Lehtinen gets close to Bush, again!!!! Consider it stalking.

OK IT IS OVER!!!!!! If you expect me to liveblog the Democratic response… well that lady made me fall asleep….
