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.

LOL! I love that.

Well, I haven't heard Peggy Noonan's name on the Fox News panel promo.

>Bush has a big old plaque on his desk at Camp David that says simply

Strategery<

Is that true?! If it is, that is one of the funniest things I have ever heard!

The Dem response is a sleeper according to NRO, but it sounds like it's worth watching.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'm not crazy about copying the purple-finger symbol. I just think badge of honor belongs to those brave Iraqi voters. These congress people didn't do what those men and women did.

I would prefer purple ribbons or armbands or something. Just not fingers.

Do I dare mention it at the risk of being called a Bush hater? Naw.......I'd better not.

Oh, is the foreign policy speech going to be about the endless, epic invasion of our country by a foreign country?

By the way, do you know why Hillary collapsed the other day?

She leaned too far to the Right.

Yes, it is true; it's the only thing on the desk. I know somebody who has personally seen it.

We need to get strategery added to the FR spell checker so we can all misspell it correctly :)

And let's not misunderestimate the power of misunderestimate (which is in there already)!

And drink twice if she hasn't washed her hair.

I would give anything if the Dems had put up Gore and Kerry to respond. I'd stay up all night to see that spectacle!

"Here's hoping that President Bush holds up an ink stained index finger and points it at the Special K twins from MA."

And the distinguished Congressman from Boston, Barney Franks(D), responds by holding up his brown stained finger....

"I just like watching the crowd to see which Congrescritters embarrass themselves on national television."

You mean like this?

Buck up, Joe; maybe he won't mention it and you're have still MORE to b*t*h about.

You are so damn predictable.

Now go away.
