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.
WHAT??????
Why don't I forgive? I do...but I don't do so until someone shows that they have repented. She has not, but instead said she wishes she had been harsher.
And this is not the first time she has done this. She has published snipes at the President before. She will go for months supporting him, and then at a time when he needs support she will attack him in a sniping way. I don't have time to look up links tonight, but if you go back through all of her campaign columns, you will find a few.
My thing with her is the same as Bill Kristol. Although I might agree with them most of the time, they cannot be counted on as dependable allies.
Now I am going to bed.
If "rich" geezers are to get nothing from Social Security, then why don't we just be honest and include it as part of the income tax, because that's exactly what it would be. Those who insist that the "rich" should pay into the system but get nothing out of it should be willing to acknowledge that what they are supporting is just another massive tax increase for the "rich". By the way, how do you define "rich"?
Oh, they understand it all right! They are just scared spitless that the President is going to have another roaring success without their help, they just can't shut up!
Yes.
If you've ever believed otherwise, you are quite naive, I'm afraid.
Why not do away with the farce and just roll the costs into the general revenue and tax system?
Okay.
Do I at least get a kiss for the d#cking I've been taking since I started working at the age of 16?
You'll have to submit that request to a Democrat.
They're into that sort of thing...
Ditto to what you said.
I would if you put me in charge of campaign security. :)
I already told you, it was not her disagreement but her attitude. I cannot be any clearer.
let me ask you....if your children of grandchildren do something wrong or something you don't agree with, do you villify them forever or do you forgive them......that is all I say.....you have used one episode in her whole history. To me that is shallow but you are entitled. I feel comfortable with the other Repubs that still call her friend
Denny Crane: "There are two places to find the truth. God and then Fox News."
LOL
Maybe someone else had the stomach to listen to what he actually said..................I didn't want to lose my supper......
Well, remember Krauthammer has a much different standard than we do. I would guess he is talking about brilliant prose and momental ideas. I think a State of the Union speech is kinda a Laundry List of things. Tough to make it interesting, but I think the President did that very well.
Krauthammer was interested in the calling out of Egypt and SA, also the warnings to Iran and Syria....says that could indicate that if Syria doesn't do what they said they would do, we could get much tougher on them. And that if the Iranian Students really got rolling on overthrowing the Mullahs we would give help , perhaps!
They don't have such thing in Iran
Sheesh--I didn't know whales could walk on land!
Help me .. I'm gonna barf
One for all us Rummy's Hunny's
For the Cheney Chicks amongst us 
This is THE woman
I might be great in 2008
Did I turn off the electric curlers?
Yikes, my toe, my toe
Yeah.. that last episode of Desperate Housewives was funny
You were awesome, W! 
This is not the first time she has dissed the President. To see her as a hypocrite is not so difficult if you've read what she's written in the past and compared it to what she writes today. It's sad but true.
