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.

What is it with Matthews and conservative women?I don't know, but he needs a haircut. He did a show with the Marines at Pendleton. The Marines and Matthews looked liked different species.

I hope none of the blue fingers are on CongressmenAgreed. I hope all blue fingers belong to Iraqis--with the possible exception of Bush and Cheney.

"Oh, wouldn't that be fabulous?"Wouldn't it ! LOL The blue ink-stained finger of freedom.
-snip-"Less than two years ago, the United States and her allies launched an assault on the nation of Iraq to enforce United Nations resolutions. Despite the absence of nuclear or biological weapons stockpiles, our investigators have documented dozens of violations of those U.N. resolutions. Our invasion was justified on those grounds alone. But for anyone who still doubts the legitimacy of our effort, just look at the faces of jubilant Iraqis in Mosul. Baghdad, Detroit, and Sydney. One Iraqi voter said in broken English, “Iraqi people make Iraqi future.” The Iraqi people decide their future, not Iraqi terrorists. The Iraqi people decide their form of government, not Syrian or Iranian subversives. The Iraqi people will write their constitution, not U.N. observers, or U.S. troops.
When one Iraqi voter was asked about the terrorists, he said simply, “They lose.” Yes, the terrorists lose. The people of Iraq win, and so do the rest of us. Why? Because the Iraqi people gave terrorists the finger – the blue ink-stained finger of freedom."

Wouldn't it be awesome if he ended his speech with "It saddens me that Justice Renquist has tendered his resignation from the bench, but, I intend to nominate John Ashcroft as the next Supreme Court justice to replace him" Man, wouldn't it be fun to see the shock on all the dems faces if that happened?

They look like they're made of wax, and her ear lobs are about 4x the size of normal lobs. Maybe she has lobe-envy.

I continue to be amazed at how our President has improved his oratory. "Take no thought for what you will say - (paraphrasing) the words will be given you..."
He's in tune with the Light...wonderful to watch

I bet his peter shrivels up when he's opposite a conservative woman.

Perhaps the one adjacent to the index finger? But if he does that, it'll look like he had his thumb in the plum pie...

I'd rather wait until the 21st so Ashcroft can be recess-appointed.

Save Bork for when a lieberal leaves the bench. John Paul Stevens is getting up there in years.
