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.

"Iraqis all but stood on the side lines. You're fooling no one."

30+ Iraqi's WERE MURDERED as they went to vote. Go pound sand.

" Biden. He used to be bald as a billiard ball. Got hair plugs. Now he just looks like a chemo patient."

Biden reminds me of the Jim Carrey character, " Fire Marshal Bill," from In Living Color.
Although Fire Marshal Bill's smoking hair looked more realistic than Biden's furrows.

Cucinich, Cynthia McKinney and Shiela Jackson are such hypocrites. They are huge Bush-bashers, yet they want to be in pics with him as he moved down the isle, smiling like they are best friends with him.
