The State of the Union Address and Rebuttal are political pageant, where the President delivers a long winded speech in which they give an optimistic (read:warped) view of the country policy they have no chance of enacting, and the opposition delivers an equally insubstantial rebuttal. As such should a listener have no better use for their time, it is best the read the transcript instead of listening or watching so that they pick the kernels of content from the stinking mass instead of having it shoved in their eyes and ears. Alternatively you could get roughly the same effect as taking the speeches in whole by downing a pint of absinthe and eating a jar of marshmallow fluff while listing to "Mighty Mighty Bosstones."
