Colage:

Did you read the article, or would that have just gotten in the way of your straw man? Noah said nothing about PBS, Mozart, or anything of that sort.

You really do seem to have missed the point of ba's post. As for what Noah was trying to say, I wish I knew: Even if it was the State of the Union, I don't think anybody thinks W's mentioning the Baby Einstein lady was a particularly memorable part of his presidency.

As a general rule of thumb, when the "do you remember when" backstory threatens to be longer than the actual article, it's probably not going to be a winner.
