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.
I think "monkey-boy" will stick :)
Not to criticize the Secret Service, but I thought part of their job was to keep crazy people away from the President.

Ron Reagan is going to be on MSNBC after the speech.
"Kennedy’s brother-in-law charged with fraud in La.
By Penny Brown Robets, staff writer
Federal authorities in Louisiana have charged the brother-in-law of U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy of committing millions in bank fraud.
A bill of information filed Wednesday in New Orleans federal court claims Raymond Reggie, 43, of New Orleans submitted fake documents to get a loan from Hibernia National Bank in December 2000.
In the bill of information, federal authorities said Reggie “submitted fictitious documents purporting to be a contract” between his company, Media Direct, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
A separate bill of information also filed Wednesday in Baton Rouge federal court charges him with a check-kiting scheme in which he made cross deposits in Union Planters Bank and Whitney National Bank in 1999, “making it falsely appear there were substantial deposits in both accounts.”
According to the bill, Reggie applied for a $4.2 million loan from Union Planters to repay the bank “for a loss created by the check-kiting scheme.” As collateral, Reggie pledged Media Direct accounts receivables of $2.1 million, which he “knew were false and fraudulent,” the bill says.
Reggie is the son of former Crowley City Judge Edmund Reggie, a longtime friend of former Gov. Edwin Edwards. He also is the brother of Victoria Kennedy, who is married to the Massachusetts senator.
Reggie declined to comment to the Associated Press, saying only: “there’s a lot more to it.”
A prominent New Orleans Democrat, Reggie has greeted former President Clinton on his visits to town.
His father was convicted in 1992 of misapplying funds of now-closed Acadia Savings and Loan of Crowley, and in 1993 he pleaded no contest to misapplying $425,000 in the form of a loan by Acadia Savings.
Edmund Reggie served 120 consecutive days of home detention and paid a $30,000 fine.
If convicted of both charges, Raymond Reggie faces up to 35 years in prison and fines of up to $1.2 million. "
Is that the sound of another nail in the dems coffin?
I would love to see them throw her down on the ground and arrest her on the spot. I will fall on the floor laughing if that happens.
Speaking of pings, did anyone ping RagtimeCowgirl (trust me, you don't want to have to depend on my medium-speed, error-filled transcriptions :-)
Okay... I flip Fox/MSNBC and never seem to catch him. Thought I read something but guess I didn't...
Joe represented Pensacola,FL in Congress a few years ago. He was one of the young guns who came in with Newt in '94.
He's a good guy. He has some views I disagree with.
BUT...when Gore was trying to throw out military ballots in Florida, Joe was the leader we needed to put together our huge protests and let Gore & his media friends know we were watching. I'll always love him for that.
I can't seem to get enough of those wonderful photos. Thank you for posting them. :)
She's on my ping list.
Over here.
actually, Pelosi only represents a part of a city (SF)in a state ... but that state has Boxer, so who's to tell the difference
Bush should shout for help as he walks by...lol
I don't expect to be here in 50 years - nor will Harry Reid-he's countin' on it. Howlin - I'm surprised you didn't git it.
hf
Curses.
Howlin'...I loved your reply to ZULU today! You nailed his arse to the barn door!
Thanks for the warning! :-)
Works for me. My fingers aren't what they used to be (not that they were ever secretary quality anyway, but I figure I'm down to about 30 wpm).
Good to hear. It seems every time I catch him he's dissing the President.
