Bush's Democrats
Some Democratic members of Congress who have been trashing President Bush, including several African Americans, arrived at the House up to 45 minutes ahead of President Bush's State of the Union address in order to get aisle seats for his speech.
When Bush walked in shortly after 9 p.m., the Democrats on the aisle were as eager as the Republicans opposite them to shake hands with the president. African-American Democrats Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick of Michigan and Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas engaged in hugs and kisses with Bush. He shared a joke that caused Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who had formerly challenged Bush's 2004 electoral votes from Ohio, to laugh uproariously.
A footnote: Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, now the House's top African American as the newly elected chairman of the Democratic Caucus, was the only member of the House Democratic leadership to keep his seat and not rise in applause during Bush's address.
Bush's Democrats II
Rep. Jane Harman of California, ranking minority member of the House Intelligence Committee, was on her feet clapping in response to nearly all of President Bush's national security applause lines Tuesday night while fellow Democrats generally kept their seats. An exception was the president's defense of wiretapping, where Harman shook her head vigorously and stayed seated.
Sen. Ben Nelson, Bush's most consistent Democratic supporter in the Senate, was often alone on his side of the aisle in rising to applaud the president. Nelson, up for re-election this year in heavily Republican Nebraska, also praised Bush's address in television interviews after the speech.
Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, a sharp critic of Bush, clapped and started to rise when the president called for renewal of the Patriot Act. But he stayed down when he noted that Democrats around him were keeping their seats.

Chuck Schumer, portrait in courage.
".. they might be attempting to pick his pocket."
Yep, that's what DemoRATs do to all of us taxpayers!!
He must have thought he saw a camera and an open microphone.
And then they stab him in the back! Hypocrites! When will we see a president return the favor and dis them as he walks down the aisle?
A man of shakeable principle, isn't he?
I observed that when Bush said we must oppose all cloning that would destroy a life just for experiments, or would mix human and animal DNA, all the Dims stayed silent.
They have to get close so they can sink that knife in his back.
All you gay, liberal sheepherders (not cowboys) out in Wyoming, please take note.
LOL...
She wants a "John Glenn" payoff trip to Mars, I suppose. Stupid pimp.
All the Demorats are stuck on stupid.
"When will we see a president return the favor and dis them as he walks down the aisle?"
Never, because President Bush is smarter than them. It is good politics for the President to be congenial to all, and steadfast in his policies. He looks generous and magnanimous, they look small and peevish.
They make some points with their base, while the other 90% of America gets a favorable impression of the President.
The author's observation supports the view that all politics is theatre. The show for the audience is about Republican vs Democrat or Conservative vs Liberal. But when the curtain goes down we find that the real antagonists are the leaders and the led.
"a grin on her face"
From where I come from, we call that a "sh-t eating grin."
LOL That is exactly what I called it in another thread. I wasn't expelled for crude language but I thought I wouldn't chance it again.
