Sounds awesome in relation to politics. Text commentary would be significantly higher quality than the spoken commentary you hear on TV. (Plus, they wouldn't be required to fill gaps by saying a lot of nothing.) And think what kind of coolness you could get by mixing live text commentary with a service like Twitter.
But personally, I wouldn't want chat overlayed over a TV show or a piece of fiction I was watching. Maybe a separate chatroom to help people tolerate my tendency to talk during movies, though.
