STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]

2/2/05

[Timeout]

The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.

Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).

Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.

Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.

Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

OK, I'm here, but the thang
doesn't commence for another hour
and fifty minutes.

An early start, just listened to the Fox Allstar panel , some think they know what he is going to say, but Sen Harry Reid says he has 45 DemonicRat votes to block any private accounts,,,,

It would be much easier if somehow LA and SF were "lost".

My attempt to create a drinking game is here

[ichabod1]

Don't they have a copy of it?

To fill time now or later, you might want to read the transcript from last night's Larry King Live. It was fascinating television as Larry King tried his best to trip up some of America's most famous Evangelical pastors. It was great television.

She's beginning to look like Michael Jackson.

[silent_jonny]

and maybe we can see Bush walk right by [Cynthia McKinney] after her nasty remarks about him.

New remarks or old remarks? You'll have to be more specific :)

I like to be punctual. :P

[SaveTheChief]

Exactly like that!

I can't wait to see what kind of scowl Hillary will have on her face tonight too.

What happened to LA and SF? I don't know they were there last time I looked. Did you look between the cushions of the sofa?

[Howlin]

Harry Reid? Harry Reid?

Please, remember that before this year, he was Tom Daschle's BOX CARRIER!

[swheats]

I don't think he minds one bit being misunderestimated, plays into his hands.

Maybe that's why the dems gave their first rebuttal before his speech. Either way it goes they can't seem to beat him. Only democrats finagle do overs.

[Howlin]

BTW, he's FOS.

[processing please hold]

Of course I have a radio, I just have to dust it off and make sure the tubes still work. lol

[ichabod1]

Why is Cynthia McKinney there? She didn't get re-elected did she?

[MaeWest]

And drink twice if she hasn't washed her hair.

LOL, that woman is going to be sooo past her pull date by 2008.

[Howlin]

She said he knew about 9-11 and didn't stop it.

They're there, but they're not "there" :-)
