I am eating a banana in 3 pieces in honor of Webbs speech

[traditional1]

What a dildo....he's spouting Socialism and trying to look important? What a jerk!

It's amazing how people like this get VOTES!

[Torie]

Good speach, but it all depends on results in Iraq. I hope Bush has a well thought all Plan B, to avoid the worst case scenario. Just getting out, and letting nature take its course, is not a responsible option, and Bush made that case well. If Iraq just won't work at this point, as a nation, do we have a way to make it work well enough to not let it become a terrorist haven, and avoid an ensuing Mid East conglagration, in which the end game is anyone's guess.

On domestic issues, I don't think Bush's proposals plus balanced budget plus no new taxes, pencils. Bush isn't that good with pencils. Something in that equation will have to be dropped.

[KevinDavis]

Did some freepers support him???

[CharlesWayneCT]

He is hard to watch, isn't he. Hard to believe he could beat a good guy like Allen. But since they never let him speak during the election, it all worked out OK for him.

[pollywog]

PHOtos of gum chewer!! PLEASE!!!!!

[B.O. Plenty]

What's worse than that...the war will come here....interrupting your meal at your local resturant...interrupting the ball game....killing your children at school.

What are the cut and runners going to say then?....

....bastards

[STARWISE]

I'll get about $250 back for my medical expenses this year.

[agincourt1415]

WEBB didn't have much to say did he?

[cgk]

Who knew the Dem response was a multimedia event? Family photo album + bio!

[processing please hold]

Bush is a President of total class!

Great job!

Don't ever take off those rose colored glasses, your system couldn't take the shock.

[do the dhue]

I just heard webb say our manufacturing jobs are going over seas.

Thanks to environmental laws passed by Demorats. Now, they want to blame Republicans.

[newbeenew]

Yes! Truly, a great speech...given under difficult conditions, to a mostly hostile crowd. And well-spoken...even tho long enough for a gaffe or two.

Not tonight, tho. This was golden (if people actually gave him a chance). Congrats, Mr. President!

(also nice touch inviting the Subway Superman, who is yet another class act!)

[armymarinemom]

Well don't we all have family photos. Cue son in Iraq.

[RatsDawg]

Webb has a HUGE forehead.

[penelopesire]

"There is something seriously strange about this guy."

Yep....no doubt about it!! Between him and pelosi, the average American SHOULD be getting a tad bit nervous tonight at what they have elected to office!!

[WakeUpAndVote]

Bingo, San Fancisco values now on the east coast.

[swheats]

I feel your pain. He grates on the nerves a bit.

Webb is showing his family photos now. It's still all about him.

[Rte66]

Well, we know who Pelosi stole all her blinks from! He just doesn't.

There's a Visine for that.
