Do oncologists get sued left and right like OBGYN's do? I think that was what he was referring to. Talk to any doctor...obgyn's get nailed a lot with law suits. I know several people who have been GP's for a long time who have had to quit delivering babies because the liability is too high.

And NEVER forget!

Don't apologize for any trivializing done on this thread! After what we went through to get Alito where he got today---a real protracted, forceps delivery---we're entitled to all the fun we can legally obtain.

Why is it that the doctors we need to protect from trial lawyers are always OB-GYNs?

Because they're quitting in droves, can't afford liability insurance thanks to the likes of the Dems' most recent candidate for VP.

Best Howard Dean moment: Democrats erupting in applause when the president began a sentence saying, "Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security . . ."

That was a pathetic bit of theatricality. I wonder how many centrists the commies lost b/c of that little outburst?

Worst Euphemism: "the traditions of their own citizens"

I thought this to be the most realistic statement he made. If you mean the part about 'their democracies won't look like ours.'

These people we're democratizing are less evolved than LA gang trash.

One of my favorite moments was when he welcomed Alito to the Supreme Court. And what he said about the terrorists we haven't caught yet: "Your day will come." I got the feeling Bush was speaking directly to Zawahiri when he looked right at the camera and said that.

Frankly, this speech scarred and worried me. Bush has done a remarkable job with an unbelievably trying presidency. And it's coming to a close.

He did a good job controlling his audience (in the Senate chambers). But we've been warned. The world has become an alarmingly dangerous place, and I don't see another George Bush on the horizon. I worry for my republic. I truly do.

[CyberAnt]

I think the video of the dems erupting over the SS statements is PRICELESS and would work well in repub commercials for 2006 and 2008.

Just like .. "we killed the Patriot Act".

Worst Leonard Nimoy impression: Tim Kaine's permanently-arched left eyebrow

I sat with a room full of friends watching Kaine's speech and we were wondering if his eyebrow was permanently that way. I was actually feeling sorry for him, then suddenly- we saw it move. The entire room applauded. Kinda sad- when the only thing that anyone noticed about Kaine's speech was his eyebrow.

Ouch. The folks in Lubbock might resent that slap in the face.

[hsalaw]

Why is it that the doctors we need to protect from trial lawyers are always OB-GYNs?

Because they're the ones who are sued the most. Duh. The author of this article should check the med. malpractice statistics before he sneers at the Pres.

[tallhappy]

And we do not forget the other half--in places like Syria, Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and Iran--because the demands of justice, and the peace of this world, require their freedom as well."

Why leave out the largest nation in the world, People's Republic of China?

[Bush gal in LA]

Lets see ......the biggest hypocritical moment of the night was when President Bush was walking in the room, and talking to people and shaking hands all around..........That hippo- sorry I mean hypocrite Sheila Jackson Lee always tries to get a big hug and kiss from the president as he 's walking in so the cameras can be sure and catch it. Brother! Tomorrow ,she will probably be in a meeting with Conyers calling for his impeachment!

[My Favorite Headache]

The Hillary moment pissed off so many Americans tonight. It is hard to keep count the number of people who have said to me tonight "it was creepy how hillary laughed about getting hit again".

[IamConservative]

Another good line which was Reagan-esque:

"Before history can be written in books, it has to be written with courage."

The best leaders recognize history and have the courage to shape it as it is occurring.

Also at the SOTU:

IS REUTERS SENDING A MESSAGE ABOUT A COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HILLARY?

As for the worst camera cut, I agree. Was in process of capturing and highlighting it as I read this. Missus clinton's political stupidity apparently knows no bounds.

Best media line about the Democrats behavior: John Tabin, The American Spectator

The Democrats clapped and hooted as soon as Bush said "Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security," giving Bush an opening to turn his bromide into a scathing attack: When he said "partisan politics," he had a visual aid to point to.

Suddenly it was as if Bush said "we mustn't act like clowns," and the entire Democratic caucus had shown up in multicolor wigs and greasepaint.
