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.

Mizz P Galore looks like a heavier, white M Jackson (what with all the snipping, pulling and tucking she's gone thru).

Ron doesn't care. He thinks he'll get a talk show out of it.

I swear I want to see the DNA tests. I think he was switched at birth.

That's a reasonable conclusion. Makes me think next the Dems will be sending their kids out as suicide bombers too.

you of course are entitled to that feeling but most of the pundits on the Repub side have brushed it aside already. Just curious why some of you fine women were still acting kind of catty about it........that is all......no disrespect to you at all but it seemed like you were still dissing her after everyone else has moved on from it. I have always thought she was a very good writer though I don't like the way she speaks sometimes in a weird slow reflective way.........have a good night........

Word has it that Pelosi has appointed Herbert West as her personal physician. That must be the secret to her, uh, appearance.

Oh for goodness sake! The way Peter Jennings referred to this luncheon a couple of times, I was given the impression it was him, Stephanopolous, and the President.
Seriously, I was surprised to see that others had attended.

I'm 34 years old and I think President Bush's SS plan is long overdue.

Nope. Krauthammer is wrong about the style, but he agreed with the substance.

Peggy disagreed with the SUBSTANCE of the Inaugural Speech. This was very wrong. If she had criticized the style, that was her perogative as a speech critic.

But she criticized the theme. That is what has so many of us honked off. It is as if someone had mocked President Reagan's "tear down this wall" comment.

Don't lecture me about being more Christian. You had better be lecturing Peggy, instead.

Citizen Soldier thinks that vertical slash makes him look thinner. What do you all think? :-)

Damn, I am only 54, and won't be immune from what will be cuts. Oh the horror, not. Of course, if I were president, I would propose that folks in my category, just zero out, and get absolutely nothing. I have been blessed with the right genes, the right values, the right parents, who payed my way forever through eight years of higher education, including paying for some products I did not explicitly tell them about (but my Dad, no dummy, or course inferred), and when it comes to SS, I should get absolutely nothing. That is my plan to square the circle. "Rich" geezers get nothing. Write that down.
