STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05

Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by 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.

He got a standing ovation...

He's gotten many of them. I was specifically referring to when he started on immigration reform

Ok I may be a bit young compared to some of the old farts in Congress (I'm 28) But I have NEVER heard booing during a State of the Union. Is this a first?

Perhaps... but how can you tell a dealer, a rapist, killer or burglar from someone who just came looking for a job?

"At least it did get a mention..."

Would have been conspicuous by it's lack of absense.

Well Marple, what did I tell you?

Deep, deep purple. Which, going back to the times of the Caesars, was the color of command.

She knows what she's doing.

Be Seeing You,
