STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]

2/2/05

[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.

Saw that too...Dan Rather mentioned the results had totally flipped in Bush's favor....he was totally tongue-tied as he read the results!!!!

And of course, because the results were positive for the President, he had to add that the CBS poll was only a *small* sample...LOL....CBS has to downplay it's own polling because they didn't get the result they wanted!!!!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

A woman was just interviewed on CNN who blamed Bush for "killing the kids I grew up with, killing our boys, killing our girls, I am scared for the life of myself and my three year old baby"

(BARF)...I think I got the quote pretty close...

USEFUL IDIOT, product of the stealth Marxist Peacenik NEA public education system....

[BobS]

LOL:) At least somebody else knows how to change channels! Food or SciFi for me:)

A few more rants by Kennedy and I suspect that LIEberman will switch.

Perhaps the man has found his roots at last.

[Purrcival]

I missed that one! Must have been talking to my co-worker here.

[commonguymd]

Why should I dispute anything with you? You'd already made a big enough fool of yourself without me piling on.

I will pile on. If you have been living in tyranny and fear - it is difficult to trust that they actually have a chance at freedom. That trust is building. Howling, this guy is a fool!

[samiam1972]

Oh! That is so wrong!!! I'm laughing anyway!!!:-)

Nancy Pelosi wasn't "hot" when she was 16. She was my neighbor in Ocean City, Maryland, then, in the summers. She's a D'Alesandro, a famous family of corrupt Democrat politicians in Baltimore, Md.

I am a conservative not "Bush-bot" but this speech tonight was his best since the State of the Union address of 2001. I give it 99 out of 100. As far as the dems go one word, LOSERS !

[Aristotle721]

Isn't pelosi an atheist?

Worse...Catholic-in-name-only. Atheists are at least honest.

[Feiny]

That was CSPAN....and she was retarded.

[Ladysmith]

??! HUH??!

LOL!!!

[FBD]

Yes, it sure was an Excellant speech, Meek!

Yup, Dubya made us very proud... He also made America look very decent, brave, and honorable

I about started crying during the honoring of the parents of the Marine, (the Norwoods), and then when the Iraqi woman hugged Mrs. Norwood. Wow, that was touching...

[Mo1]

Will someone tell Joe Scarsbough to SHUT UP

What happen to him?

[bvw]

That's one wacked photo-comp! Good work. I like the scowling forehead at the left bottom.

[Howlin]

I feel like he stands around wondering where his party went.

[relee]

Jennifer Griffin looks tall, however, it may be that all the people she interviews are very short!

[Joe Hadenuf]

I noted you too declined to dispute that the Iraqis all but stood by while we fought.

You ARE the ugly face of conservatism.

Uh, I take it you disagree.

Good night howling.

Sorry, you aren't a putz. Your're an asshole.

That was profound.

[nopardons]

THANK YOU! :-)

[maine-iac7]

Speaking of kennedy - I didn't see him? Did anyone?

Indeed - cBS (only channel I have besides pBS ) hardly zeroed in on any of them - especially the demorats? Other than one or two quick shots of Hitlery and Lieberman...
