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.

Laura Bush has started her second term as first lady with astonishingly high popularity ratings among both Republicans and Democrats. What does this say about the US? Sharon Krum reports.
There is a character on the television show Desperate Housewives who has become both a joke and the object of some speculation among the chattering classes. Perfectly coiffed, perpetually smiling, she is a disciple of the great American dream. Was she, as the creators suggest, inspired by those Stepford wives of suburbia, or by a certain spouse resident in the White House? They laugh and wink and feel awfully clever - but, in reality, the joke is on them.
Though they turn up their noses at the presidential wife who happily plays second fiddle and gazes adoringly at her husband, the fact is, as Laura Bush enters her second term as first lady she does so wrapped in the kind of popularity that is normally reserved for Julia Roberts or J-Lo.
Laura Bush's approval rating stands at 71 per cent - remarkably, she even has a 55 per cent approval among Democrats - making her more popular than her husband (52 per cent) and streets ahead of Hillary Clinton when she entered her second term with 47 per cent. The icing on the cake for Bush, 57, was the staggering 79 per cent who told pollsters she had "improved the image of the office of first lady".

Personally, I don't think that the Secretary of the Interior would be up to that particular task, but it's what the SecDef thinks about as a vocation.
Cynthia McKinney grabbed an aisle seat. She always does.
Funny how they are against Bush but sure want photo-ops with him.
OH YEAH, THE F'N DEMS BLOCKED GONZALES FROM BEING CONFIRMED!!!

I would hope the immigration comments are non-existant until he addresses that issue. If he doesn't they shouldn't appear here.
Those of you who join me in disagreeing with the President on immigration, let's be reasoned in our approach here.
Thanks.
