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.

Where was all this concern re church and state when, back in the 60's we had a catholic priest who was also a congressman???Hidden in the same place all of the cries of "Clinton needs to reach out to the Democrats because the country is so equally divided" back when Clinton won the presidency with 43 percent of the vote. :-)

Hey, I just realized that this is Dan Rather's last SOTU as anchor. It is almost worth listening to his post-speech commentary ... NOT. I wonder if he'll choose to exit slugging?

Laptop w/ a wireless connection, it doesn't get any better. True (too poor to get the laptop, don't trust security of wireless, but at least RoadRunner gave me a nice speed boost to ~5 Mbps).
