President Bush has a lot riding on his State of the Union address. Democrats seem poised to make midterm gains in November, and his low approval ratings threaten his ability to lead on major reforms. Can he regain some political capital or is he already a lame duck? What did you like and dislike about the speech? What was missing? Are his proposals realistic or a lot of political pandering? Tell us what you think, both during the speech and afterward.

I declare the blogging is… open!
The traitor has not even started his speech and my BS meter already going off!
Viva La Raza Blanco
My BS meter went off a while ago. Oh wait, that was from the diarheal discussion. Carry on.
Viva la difference!
Yikes, the zionists have already had Cindy Sheehan arrested! Oy Vey!!
V.L.R.B!!
THE MESSAGE.
“Good evening my fellow Americans, this is President Thorn, I have an important message for you.I feel that it is in the best interest of the country and more importantly to my Presidency that I take action.I plan to revoke all Constitutional rights, have the members of the military confiscated all weapons, I will invoke martial law, set a curfew of seven P.M. and violators will be shot on sight. Also, I will pass a law that states that anyone heard saying anything bad about my cabinet or me. Will receive the death penalty, will out the right to appeal.
But I want to be fair about this, so I have set up a bank of operators to take phone calls. If enough of my fellow Americans call within the next fifteen minutes. I will tear up the executive order and forget the whole thing! So if you think this is all a bad idea call 1-800-555-5555 otherwise in fifteen minutes I will sign this in to law. I wait your calls and good night!”
*******“Well Paul it has been fifteen minutes, how many calls did we receive?”“Mr. President, we received three.”.“Only three? My I thought we would get more then that! What happened?”“Sir I think not enough people got your message”.“What was there technical problems?”.“No sir, it seems that about the time you got out ”Good evening my fellow Americans..”.Most of the viewers turn their TV. to the Tom and Jerry film festival on the MindlessTV. Channel.”.“Well it was also broadcasted on radio, did we hear from the listeners of radio?”.“Yes Mr. President, the three calls were from radio listeners. They were upset that we preempted there-broadcast of the Lakers game.”.“Oh well… Give me your pen!”.
Gladhanding and kissyfacing. Let the games begin.
Viva la Cuervo
If you can watch Bush’s speech and blog at the same time, you might also try the State of the Union drinking game at http://www.drinkinggame.us/. Some of the rules include:If Bush mentions “Scooter Libby” or makes a reference to “Plamegate,” poke a hole in your cup and drink from the leak.If he says “Medicare,” wait a really long time to get a drink you really need.And when the camera shows John Kerry, threaten to talk through the rest of the speech until your friends “cloture” you. Then take one long drink.
Ian ~ V.L.R.B!! ? Viva La RockBottom remainders? They are my fav too.*smooch*
kissy facing? Let the games begin? *fills wolfie’s glass* you betcha! *smooch*
ABC reports that Cindy Sheehan was arrested for trying to bring in a banner. The horror!
Here he comes?
God how I that man.
what net are you watching?
The applause begins…
I tried to bring in a banner once. Of course it was to a rock concert, not a nationally publized event. And I was also pantsless. But I’m sure that’s not why I was arrested. It was because of my politics I’m sure.
Welcome, Mr. President.
. . . then again, she might’ve been arrested for. . .being Cindy Sheehan.
SOTU (one hand) Commander in Chief (other hand)
I vote for Commander in Chief
Daisy? you have a commander in chief on one of your hands? Isn’t he kinda heavy? Hope he’s housebroken. Or at least diapered.
gad, the Republicans are cheering like its a bachelor party.
Wolfie: *snork*
At this point I sincerely wish I could post a link to a photo of Jacques Chirac in serious Dork-O-Rama Glasses during his last speech. Just the glasses got a round of applause.
Quick! Everyone do a shot. That was fast wasn’t it?
Good opening note…
Is it just me, or did the camera search for all the black faces after the mention of Mrs. King?
BTW – C in C = Geena Davis
Her
Gee, do you think Karl Rove is listening?
I’m personally watching the state of the union speech on the food chanel.
JM – LOL
Well daisymae’s hand needs to get stronger that’s for sure. She’s gotta CiC sittin onit.
“Respect for one another”
That’s uncommonly kind of you, George. You can call me nasty names if you start respecting the Constitution and the law.
There go some more jobs…..come on say itCafta
What do you reckon he’d do about the cannisters?
Leading the world economy? What by increasing world debit?
food channel? State of the Onion?
I’m hungry.
“Problems in failed state 7000 miles away” brought destruction to us?
What, Saudi Arabia?
Acting boldly? Like the guys in Brokeback Mountian? He really ought to see that ya know. I hear it’s a real good movie.
Less than 5 minutes and he already hinted at terrorist in Iraq. Let the bullshit flow!!!
“Lonely democracies”??? Maybe he DID see Brokeback Mountain.
WOW! He pronouned all of those countries correctly!!
*applause*
Geez how many wars is he planning to launch?
I hope the Onion covers it!
Some of those not living in a democracy are our allies. Saudi Arabia for example.
Hey, do Randy, Simon and Paula get to vote him off the stage? That would be so cool. Maybe put the guy with the Jamaican accent from Bakersfield up there.
He said the terrorists are using weapons of mass destruction…CALL JACK!
I was going to post a comment about First Lady Cleavage and Mrs Bush, but thought better of it.
So all I can say, from the safety of a place with no way of watching the speech, is: booger.
I would drink a Martini to accompany you in the drinking game, but I think it’s too late for that. For me, anyway.
Damn it’s getting deep, I need to get my boots.
Oh heck. The weapon of fear. Yup, he saw Brokeback Mountain and now he’s a wee bit nervous. Ranch n all.
He said weapons of mass murder. An obvious change in tactics.
“The terrorist have chosen the weapon of fear. . .allowing the violent to inherent the Earth.”
He’s right, but hearing this from Mr. Fear-and Violence? The irony overwhelmes.
“We love our freedom and we will fight to keep it.” GWB
O’er the ramparts we watch still so gallantly gleaming…
Borders? You mean like the uguarded Mexican border?
I figured this would be a waste of time…
He’s blinking M-U-C-H slower tonigt.
He must have been practicing.
Is that drinkworthy?Please say yes.
I see no first lady cleavage. Or even New Girlfriend of the Ginormous tatas. Mores the pity. Coulda used the eye candy.
HONOR!!!! You have some nerve ‘Mr. Daddy I don’t want to go over there, it’s dangerous’.
Or in our own constitution, dam piece of paper!
Brokeback Mountain was really a zionist plot formerly called, Brokebuck hill.
But I am so glad that we will never surrender to evil, unless, of course, evil comes in the form of a chocolate bar.
Doncha just love bullshit rhetoric?
ok, first y’all were burning steak. Then there was white rice and onions… and now Wolfie has to mention ranch? *leaves the state of the union to go fix supper*
“We have killed and captured many of their leaders.” GWB
Oh, my…no wienie here
“. . . and to move this world toward peace.”
“We remain on the offensive. . .”
What’s wrong with this picture?
They must be the token Iraqi guests.
They aren’t looking happy.
“He’s blinking M-U-C-H slower tonigt.
He must have been practicing.”
I think his keepers didn’t let him do a bong before the address.
State of the onion neo. *smooch*I’d like mine roasted please.
You’re right, Nathan. This SotU speech IS a waste of time.
We will never surrendeder to tyranny.
You damned skippy. That’s why we gott a impeach you!
Liberal Democrat….an endanger species in Kansas
Hey! Who you damning over there JR? I resent that.
*continues fruitless search for photos of Monsieur le Président Weenie in glasses*I’m getting interesting search results, though. Like Stalin’s mugshot.
What I can’t figure out is: Do I take a shower before, during or after the speech. I feel, like, so dirty.
“Those decisions will be made by our military commanders…”
then zoomed to a picture of Alito (go figure)
Listen to the military leaders Mr. President
It sounds so much better when you say it french MiK.
Everyone repeat after me: “what is good for israel, wall street, haliburton and the jews is good for America”!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Iraqi forces take the lead. It has been 3 months since the last Iraqi troop update, they must have 30 or 40 million highly trained troops by now.
All SotU’s have been useless for the last several decades.
Just rah rah speeches.
Oh, he’s already cdriticing his critics!!!!!!
Jm ~ need someone to scrub your back?
Th irony was best pointed out a few days ago in the Opinion Line…we support democracy with free eletion up to the point that someone wins power that we don’t like, and suddenly, we deon’t support democracy in Palestine anymore. What sort of doublecpeak is that?
“On our way we have benifited from counsel. . . and defeatism that refuses. .. and second-guessing is not a strategy.”
If this friggin’ idiot (or Rumsfeld) had listened to their OWN MILITARY OFFICERS, things wouldn’t be near as bad. Don’t tell the man bad news, though. He ain’t hearin’ it.
OK, do I have to actually watch the pres talk, or can I just drink and trust you all to fill me in – cuz I gotta say, I gotta pretty low pukin’ threshold, an’ I woldn’t want W to set it off
Wihhdrawl from Iraq would also seriously cut into Halliburtons profits and they just had their best year!
A token dog???
Had to glance at the TV to make sure I wasn’t at a strip joint, the way they’re hollerin’.
neophyte,I dun tol you: if you watch it on the food channel ya get free recipes. Most of um use onions, rice tomaters, and a whole lot o corn.
He’s blinking SLOWER? What, you mean like not at all? I find he blinks slowly all the time.
Also, from memories of seeing Bush’s other speeches, LOVE those dramatic pauses when he looks left and right before resuming reading from his notes. It really shows off his ears. They look bigger than Prince Charles’ at that angle, and that’s saying a LOT.
It’s shrub’s doublespeak.
Ian ian ian. We can’t repeat it or we would clog up the comments with exactly the same typing. We need originality. Humor. Pantslessness. And boogers.Sheesh.
Ooooo several drinks worth there.Sweet!
uhhh, notwolfie . . . luffa sponge?
*we support democracy with free eletion*
with free elation???
During the debates, he blinked so fast it caused wind sheer problems.
OOPS! HE’s blinking fast again!!
Cute wink dubya, maybe you will get a blow job so we can impeach you.
Forgive the typing….lstening and typing at the same time.
JM ~ Loofahs and scrubbies and rubber duckies oh my.
There is a stain on the flag behind President weenie. Just over his left shoulder. Someone should fix that. Shout it out or something.
I think he blinks fast when he gets excited.
As a former officer and veteran of the first Gulf War for israel and haliburton I take great offence when that former draft dodging drunk tries to elevate himself over the dead bodies and sacrifice of our troops!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Actually, when he goes off-script, and has to wing it, he blinks fast. When he’s reading something prepared, he blinks slow.
k, sounds like you need one
What about raticalism here in the US? Are you going to try to defeat your own party?
“Rule of law and protection of minorities”
Why should his plan for Iraq be different than here?
Yes! Pantslessness! I’m nekkid, and you can’t prove it. See the emperors new clothes!
Ian? Sweetpea?? Has anyone ever told you that you’re a little bit tense? You should go for a massage or something.
Heyyyy there TCK. *makes room on the smooshy soft Bloglits couch*
Nah, we’ll be laughing too much to have time to puke.
*gets pantsless with Wolfie* We’ll take off another item of clothing every time he says “freedom”, OK?
Here’s the thing about Egypt…we extraorindarily render our prisoners there, where they are tortured…is this REALLY a country we want to call our ally, that supports torture?
Both fast and slow blinking are signs of nervousness. So he pretty much can’t win.
*loves Wolfie the luffa* You might want to rinse that off first, hon. I used it to scrub my onion. *wink*
you offering nojoco?
clerical elite?
sounds like the file clerks have taken over
Nucular…..sheesh is he PROUD of being an idiot?
Then we should have invaded Iran instead of a country that did nothing!
The guy on the right is thinking “Beige, I should paint the ceiling beige”
I’ll bet Bush would trade nuclear opportunties for Iran in exchange for a free-path oil pipeline to a port in the Middle East.
*we extraorindarily render our prisoners there*
????
He’s saying a lot about “isolationism.” Interesting. I suspect this may be aimed at some of his own.
We shouldn’t be counting his blinks. We should be counting how many times we can either see him peek at his notes or when his eyeballs are visibly moving over the text on the teleprompter.
Do ya think the stain on the flag is a leftover from a previous administration? It can’t be this one. Thay ain’t got the cajones.
I’m surprised he blinks at all.
Oooo someone was just checkin out CR’s ramparts. Wonder if he’s acting out the ‘over the ramparts we watched’ part of the anthem?
Loofahs! Fleshpile on the senate floor.
There must have been something in there I shoulda taken a shot for.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaaa at the guy thinking about the paint, and also the stain on the TV.
So how many times have they cut to Scooter looking sheepish already?
organized crime = patriot act
LOOK OUT!
Wait until he gets to the topic of our economy and swallows Ford’s 30,000 + LAYOFFS…that ought to be a laugh!
*giggles*He said ‘Tool’
TO PREVENT ANOTHER ATTACK, READ YOUR FREAKING MEMOS!!!!!!!!!!!
Do we drink when he says “nucular”?
You knew about 911 in AUGUST. All the spies in the world don’t do an good if yoiu don’t read the stuff they give ya!
Yeah the CIA knew they were her, the FBI knew they were taking flying lessons…We should have been listen to their phone so we would have known what was going on?
I just got to thinking…all this negative thought towards POTUS on the internet…guess I should expect a ride in the back of a black sedan before Friday!
*hi five’s JR*
Tramp, you pretty much drink straight through
Stop expecting pres weenie to read people. He’s more of a picturebook kinda guy.
They reallyyyy need to clean that flag.. And possibly polish the leather. But not at the same time.
you idiot can’t even spell “nuclear”
*gets pantsless with Wolfie* We’ll take off another item of clothing every time he says “freedom”, OK?
Why do you think I’m nekkid already.(Okay, I just wanted to flash Bush)
O God, here it comes: The dreaded surveylance program. I’m putting on the aluminum hat.
Re-authorize the Patriot Act? Why? You don’t need congress to give you authority to squash our Constitutional rights.
I’d really much rather you flash us JM. Much more entertaining that way.
*you idiot can’t even spell “nuclear”*
somebody’s chain got rattled
Marie – pantslessness is a Constitutioanl right (with a capital C)
apparently as opposed to the right to privacy, freedom from phone tapping, and not having to worry about out kids having to go fight a war that we (we meaning W) started for particular reason…
OK, did I say that out loud?
Oh, I’ve had reservations at Gitmo for quite sometime now.
*thinks Wolfie has something kinky going on with the flag and the leather* Does it involve your Box o’ Fun in the Shadows?
I know it’s nuclear, but he says “nucular”. Listen.
Uh…..We functioned pretty well before the Mexican invasion.
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaIcantherethislalalalalalala
“Based on the Constitution,
. . .terrorist surveilance program. .
. . Al Quada suspects. .
. . . under my Constitutional authority”
. . .”under the law (I think). . “with the approval of the courts?
Jeez, that was like an automatic “lie-gun”!Whew!
Take a drink the next time he says “isolationism.”
That’s tonight’s THEME!
Marie: *Snork*
The way it is going if the U.S. become a third world nation so the companies will come back here for workers!
Listening to Bush talk about Energy policy is a little bit like Hitler talk about making Yom Kippur a national holiday in Germany.
I knew it, it did not take the traitor long to declare that massive third world immigration is good for America. Shrub is joke!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
My cell in Gitmo BETTER be next to Sly’s or I’m going to kick guard butt. I need someone to share booger jokes with.
“act responsibily”"Make tax cuts permanent”
yet he keeps SPENDING!!!!
“Act responsibly and make the our debtor status permanent!” (The rich really need the money, folks!)
Ian’s almost making sense…wait a minute, I haven’t been drinking!
Yes ma’am it does. And it might involve ian in a polka. I mean he likes waltzing it seems.
*strips down to ducky slippers*
“American families will face a tax increase”
Translation (without the bushit): My oil friends didn’t make enough last quarter, if I don’t cut their taxes they may not be able to afford the island in the south pacific.
Pass the line item veto…when did he start channelling Bill Clinton???
“Based on the Constitution,
. . .terrorist surveilance program. .
. . Al Quada suspects. .
. . . under my Constitutional authority”
Take a drink the next time he says “isolationism.”
That tonight’s THEME!. . .”under the law (I think). . “with the approval of the courts?
Jeez, that was like an automatic “lie-gun”!Whew!
With all of the references to national security, why hasn’t he called CTU?
Yes ma’am it does. And it might involve ian in a polka. I mean he likes waltzing it seems.
*strips down to ducky slippers*
ok, So the plan is to cut programs which “perform poorly”
So, is that to imply that we are adopting Malthusian theory towards the homeless and indigent, or is it open season on those that are down?
WHAT was that about Clinton?
It’s definitely something kinky. You don’t “polish” leather. Wolfie knows something we don’t.
Also, JM: we’re waiting for that flash.
From now on I drink whenever Wolfie posts…..
TO paraphraseWe need to kill Social Security and Medicare….and pretty much any public aid.
“Pass the line item veto”??
That was ruled unconstitutional. . . (oh wait–that doesn’t matter anymore. . .)
Him and Clinton are turning 60 this year. The oldest babyboomers are ALL turning 60 this year.
Betsi, you here? Where’s your dad?
Of course President Clinton is one of your dads favorite people. He didn’t screw up the country and make the world a dangerous and unstable place to live.
Ian…there you go…his nod towards border protection. Are you happy?
Johnny Walker just flashed some bush! Pass it on!
*posts**posts*Oooo that looks kinda dirty Tramp, but if it’s what floats your boat..*shrugs*
*posts once more*
Yeah, I just switched to an HSA at work.I can’t afford to be sick for another 23 months…
Now he wants to protect incompetent doctors. Frist mush want to get back into medicine after this term.
Wheeeeeeeee. This is WAY more fun than I thought it would be.
Still can’t find photo of Monsieur Weenie.
Make wider use of meedical records??? Do we have ANY paperwork you don’t want to stick your nose in?
AHhhhh the Dr was drunk when he cut off your arm? Well shucks stuff happens. Suck it up!
So, how can we buy American with so many jobs being outsourced off-shore?
Wheeeeeeeee. This is WAY more fun than I thought it would be.
Still can’t find photo of Monsieur Weenie.
The next time that traitor mentions “secure borders, guest workers or immigration” I will have to empty a magazine of buckshot from my semi-auto shotgun into my tv!
After watching this pathetic display I am convinced, more than ever, that their is no political soluion to our nation’s problems.
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
One name…China***** Stronger borders, where would you get the cheap labor?
“oil is imported from unstable parts of the world”
Oh, like the Gulf Coast?
Health-savings accounts can be a good reform, and I’m glad that Bush is encouraging them. But what would likely have the biggest impact on cost would be for Con-gress and Bush to let the govern-ment negotiate drug prices.
*posts**posts*Oooo that looks kinda dirty Tramp, but if it’s what floats your boat..*shrugs*
*posts once more*
“Affordable energy. . AMerica is additicted to oil. . .we’ve spent nearly $10 billion on alternative energy research. . ”
And more than 20 times that in the war in Iraq. Who does Mr. Oil think he’s fooling?
From now on I drink whenever Wolfie posts…..
Just stick to corn…wait a minute, that would make sense and piss the Texans off.
Good constitutional observation, J R!
Unstablity is underrated. It gets you the really good drugs. Well, if you have health insurance it does. If not, I find several household chemicals in the right order can have the same effect.Has anyone seen my thorazine colored glasses?
“A firm grounding in math and science.”
Hope it’s on the NCLB tests. . .
Watch for the Asian guy next the woman in hot pink. His fingers are abnormally long!
*pouts* Bedtime.
Good night, everyone. Don’t indulge in too much analysis, OK? Just play the drinking game and it’ll be fine.
Anyone remember when he spoke to renewable energy FOUR YEAR AGO? The only difference between then and now about his speech on energy is the mention of wood chips.
We need to lead the world in talented people. So I am going to further cut the amount of money available for loans to college students.
We need to lead the world in talented people. So I am going to further cut the amount of money available for loans to college students.
long fingers?
*perks*
TCK ~ I really like you. Just in case I’ve never mentioned it before.
Would somebody give Bush oral sex so we can impeach him?
Ya, wolfie, but did ya see Bush blink when I flashed him? Heck, even Alito grinned.
Here we go with education….another unfunded mandate….fell free to e-mail me (a teacher) as to how many hours you wind up working to keep your job because of THIS president.
Why are you sending all the jobs away …. outside of America?
Dear Mr. President ….Do you know the long term security is it’s jobs?
Dear Mr. President …. Is there a class war going on? Are workers working more and being paid less and less, their sons going off to war to secure the rich …. the “New World Order”?
Dear Mr. President …. Why are oil company profits setting records for any profits ever made by anyone …. while America suffers in the cold, gasoline prices go in to all out products we buy, heating bills are growing higher and higher?
Do you have a plan to win the war? Did you already declare major fighting done at 30 days ….. now years later why are our kids still dying and dying?
Dear Mr. President …. Is it our future you have in mind when you cut 12.5 BILLION dollars od education support for kids to go to college?
Dear Mr. President …. Is it our future you are saving us from when you cut, stop funding for the future our social security we all paid in to end up with nothing? All the while the rich have tax breaks for yachts second vacation homes and 401 K plans for house wifes who have live in nannys who take care of the kids when thay come home from special elite boarding schools?
Who was president when we last had peace in the country? War and deception and debt and broken futures, and a nation in great decline …. this is your legacy Mr. Persident! Have we hit bottom yet?
Uncle Sam
Goodnight, MiK!
“America is addicted to oil.”
and he didn’t sneeze when he said it
Phillip the obvious problem with health-savings accounts is that people aren’t saving. You can’t get blood out of a turnip.
We need to lead the world in talented people. So I am going to further cut the amount of money available for loans to college students.
*posts**posts*Oooo that looks like a skirty Tramp, but if it’s what floats your boat..*shrugs*
*posts once more*
I’m finding myself hoping someone will clean and iron that flag. Polishing the leather is optional and to be done after the cameras turn off.
Let’s see; Shrub favors massive third world immigration, affirmative action and public education. Why exactly do all you leftists despise the man again?
Viva la Raza Blanco!!
Violent crime rates have fallen to their lowest rate since the 1970’s??? He doesn’t venture out to the hood much, does he?
You really shouldn’t drink that much koolaid
There hasn’t any analysis, just whining and hate Bush for anything and everything. Good job people.
Teenage pregnancy has been falling?!?
Ummm…..maybe at the White House.
Good idea about trying to recruit 30,000 more math and science teachers — ala Thomas Friedman. But does Bush want the science teachers to have to teach both evolution and intelligent design?
Rejecting isolationism seems to be a major theme of this address.
Bush gets caught off-guard and looked flustered after Dems erupted in applause after he said Congress didn’t act on his Social Security reform. Funny moment.
Replace 25 percent of Mideast oil by 2025? That’s supposed to be a dramatic goal?
is it my imagination…or did a whole block of posts disappear?
Ian? Sugahbutt?? Have a toke and chill out before you spontaneously combust over there. I’m becoming concerned for your safety.
This man is NOT the one to dictate whether or not our culture “unravels.”
The Dumocrat response afterward should be intersting. “We got nothn”
Well, there has been some good drinking going on, too
Keep an eye out for the guy to the left of the woman in the hot pink dress. His fingers are uber long!
It’s all wind. He says what he thinks we want to hear but he won’t act on any of it. Tomorrow will be business as usual.
That’s Aleoto
Re Supreme Court
Once we make everything illegal we can put everyone in jail. So, no more crime.
Koolaid: That’s what these speechces do: Speak to “valence issues” (something everyone can bond with) and that make the ruling party feel good, even when they are doomed.
“Don’t believe. . .America is in decline.” Interesting rhethoric. Notice how he turns criticism of his record into a take on America?
“Not legislative from the bench”
I swear to anyone’s God I’m going to punch the next moron who repeats that utterly asinine, illogical, disconnected-from-reality slogan. . .
Tramp, true.
But Tramp, that’s his JOB! Thus it always is in politics.
Neo! Did you bring us some dinner. I’m getting hungry over here.And can someone hand me a shout wipe. I really have to do something bout that stained flag. It’s a disgrace I tell ya.
He supports consumer based health care, which means WE pay more for our health care, and the corporations get to pay less. O boy, I am SO happy about that! I think I’ll go out and break my thigh.
he’s put both of my cats to sleep…out like a light
Where’s Teddy? Is he sober?
Nojoco – give some analysis then – convince us that Bush isn’t just a dumbass who lucked into the white house by kissin’ up to the religious right and spendin’ shitloads of money
As long as Jack doesn’t shoot you init JM.
thigh? quick, is somebody shooting thighs?
Wolfie, I almost got fired for using a Shout wipe on a shirt the station issued me…it made the stain bigger and more visable on TV!
Uncle Sam, he’s hit bottom and started digging.
DNA, wolfie, DNA. Remember: if it don’t fit, you gotta aquite.
Well, NoJo? Let’s have those astonishing pearls of erudite wisdom. C’mon!
I love how the Supreme Court justices never stand or applaud…its when THEY stand up and applaud that we have reached the moment to worry.
North Johnson County: This is analysis on the fly.
Ahhhh I think I’ll go change the light bulb in the oven, maybe take a nap while my head’s in there…..
Maybe he’s breaking for high tea in the Evil Empire, Rage.
Well I’m screwed then JM. I fit into my dna quite nicely.*wiggles into dna suit*See?
MrC ~ you shoulda just taken the shirt off. Silly.
On the matter of AIDS…so long as Jenna or Laura aren’t effected (not necessarily infected) he couldn’t care less.
51 minutes.
Who is giving the response?
*crosses fingers and hopes it’s Obama*
The earlier drafts released seem to have been better than the final product.
GW was oozing optimism. “The future is so bright I gotta wear shades.”
Well I don’t want Jenna Jamison affected by it either. She’s one of my fav stars.
Water at the end of the speech….next best thing you can drink when you have been drinking and suddenly have to pretend to be sober, when its all said and done…
Has anyone seen the old “TV Funhouse” cartoon on “Saturday Night Live” about a State of the Union address? It has the partisan clapping by members of Congress degenerate into mooning and throwing chairs. That’s probably more honest feelings than what we saw now.
The Governor of Virginia.
*crosses fingers and hopes it’s Obama*
too much to hope for
Dead on Phillip B
Damn, wolfie, did you have to do that in this blog?
YES!!!!!IT’S OVER. QUICK! BREAK OUT THE ROGAINE. I’M TAKING A SHOWER . . . ANYBODY WANNA JOIN ME? I GOT LUFFA!
Andrea Mitchell says: “not at all conciliatory on anything.”
Human nature, Charlie…yeesh.
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS OF KANSAS (ALL 30 OR SO OF US) UNITE!!!
Demos don’t know how to throw chairs Phil, that would be too much of a committment.
…..that’s our wolfie and why we love her.
Has anyone else noticed the clock on this blog is wrong?
Maybe we can trade Shrub along with Hillary, Fat Teddy, Obama and draft picks to Russia for a real leader, Vladimir Putin?
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
clock: IT’s CST
more rhetorical tripe…..
I’ll have to re watch. I missed the Dems cheering no social security reform! Good for them!

Ian Ian Ian. Studmuffin. C.mere and lemme slip ya some wet sloppy tongue lovin. You know you want some. That’s why you’re so tense isn’t it?
JM ~ Yes please. I’ll be right over as soon as I figure out where you are.
Sly ~ *smooch* (don’t worry, I didn’t really kiss Ian. He’s too.. uptight for my tastes)
Daisymae ~ It may be CST, but I’m EST so it must br wrong eh? Else I’m wrong, and that’s just not possible.
I DECLARE THIS BLOG A VAPID SUCCESS! DAVE WOULD BE PROUD, OR MAYBE EMBARASSED.
JM – are you a girl – I gotta know before I consent to showerin’ with ya – sorry, but I’m funny that way
I thought I fell in love with wolfie, but my wife say I’m not allowed.
Charlie Gibson quoted someone saying 48 of the 62 paragraphs of Bush’s speech could have been given by Clinton.Thoughts?
no doubt dave will be proud
We need to lead the world in talented people. So I am going to further cut the amount of money available for loans to college students.
Well phooey. I hate wives who don’t share. Sheesh. What’s a lil e-lusting tween bloggers anyway.
I’m kinda hoping JM’s a guy, but honestly it doesn’t matter much to me. *giggles*
Wolfie,I am in missouri, the show me state, so you gotta show me where I am, ’cause I can’t figure it out myself. Do me a favor: If you find me keep me there and don’t start without me.
Newt G. on Fox is falling all over himself salivating at what a wonderful speech GW gave. If I was George, I’d watch my back, I think Newt might be in love.
Hey…it IS going to be Obama
Wolfie,
Even if I were not married with five kinder, you could not handle my spectacular White Cuban American self!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Naughty Wolfie, BTW Dave is proud of saying boogers, that’s why we love him.
Your American jobs and way to make a living ….. off to India!
Your sons and daughters off to Iraq for (choose one) Sept 11 ( 15 of the 18 hijackers were from Saudia Arabia – so are his oil buddies) Freedom for Iraq (don’t go in USA inner cities) Democracy in the middle east ( never mind the pending civil war which will be worse for the people than what they had before. get the WMD ( never mind the treasonist Plame mis-dirrected us. Just keep on dying for the elite to run the new world order! Keep them bodies coming – off to Iraq!
For farmers in the mid-west to grow corn for fuel instead of terrorists in the middle east to sell me fuel so we and Exxon can sell it to you! At a loss of course! – off for more fuel in Saudia Arabia. It’s golbailzation not isolation – we are selling America out! Its the class struggle to find a place in the nrew world order!
We need to stop spending so lets cut student loan programs – it’s best for America to cut education.
Now we cut all your future and eliminate the social security you paid in all your life – Is there a class struggle going on here?
Debt, high oil, high heating costs, no health care, education assistance vaporising, more debt – where will it end. America deserves a bright future – what happened to it?
Are we being sold out ….. or given away?
TCK,Last time I checked, I was a he. If you is also a he, then a hehe may be funny, but not in my shower:-)
Now we will hear what he said, what he meant, it will be spun, clarified, sanitize, vilified and dissected till it little resembles anything he has said. I found he said nothing that was new or a real plan that will be truthfully followed. “What the President meant by ……”, “the way he will bring this about is….”, He was brilliant but could never fulfill his agenda because of the Democrats and the un-Americans that will stand in his way…”.
For a man that is expect to lead this nation in the problems it faces, he seem to have a grasp of the problems.But no real grasp of the answers to these Problems. He is reminding me of another office holder, the Governor of Texas in “The best little whore house in Texas” ….”Oh how I love to do the sidestep!”
Wolfie: YOU (and I) may be EST, but the paper where the blog is located is CST, so seems to me that it would show CST on the blog clock…does that make sense?
Not start without you? Oops.
*puts both hands back up on keyboard*
Ian my little sugardrop! You spoke to me. I win. Not even you can resist the power of the wolfie. BwuahahahaandNeener. :-P
JM, where in MO? STL here.

Just got Brownback’s response emailed to me “embargo until after speech”.
If this fellow is going to tell us what he meant, why didn’t he save us the time and go on instead?
I am laying 3 to 1 odds that the democrat response will be even more pathetic than shrub’s speech.
V.L.R.B!!
“Poor choices and bad management”
Gee, dude, couldn’t you be a just a little more excessively polite? Wimp!
I have to listen to him with my eyes closed ’cause that one eyebrow is scaring me.
It reminds me of Dr. Strangelove’s errant arm.
JM – forgive me if i decline to share time in your shower – as a guy, you are definatley not my type – i could hook you up tho, if that’s yer preference
where’s Obama?
I own a blog, I used to drink at frat parties and I can mispronounce words. Why can’t I get a high paying government job? I can invade countries just to make us all feel better. We can invade Guiana. We’d win and everyone would feel good. I could give a state of the Union address and maybe pronounce the country’s name right. It must really pay to be a Republican.
Slyeyes,Lamar. We got a super center and two, count em, two truck stops. Been to St louis a couple o times. Love the buildings there.
??
Rage’s post was there before mine and now it’s after.
How did that happen?
Dr. Strangelove! Slyeyes you kill me, that is now my new name for him.
He’s making sense now, but the audience has already fallen asleep. . .
I suppose Dowd DID have a point. . .
is it OK to beat up on the dems now? I mean, i generally agree with ‘em, but what a bunch of wusses – stand up for what you beleive in, or shut the hell up
sorry – i promised not to go there
*goggles Lamar to see how fast she can be there*
Phooey. The water will be cold by the time I get there.
Plan B… um… damn. I’ve forgotten to make a plan B. *sighs*
I had posted them in the reverse order, and only posted that statement ONCE.
Tech support? Hello?
Sly – same thing happened to me, along with disappearing/reappearing posts.
The Dem response is a little heavy on the God metaphors for me, but he is roasting Bush in the nicest way. I like this guy.
oooohhhhh….educate more scientists and engineers. Will they be employeed? Not with the hell shrub has brought down on our country.
TCK,If you are a guy, you are not my type as well. I’m really into peanut butter and oil soaked rags.
Aha…look at the time on his blog clock. He’ll stay the last message until after 10:15 pm on the blog.
Blog does not equal discussion or debate. Does anyone bother to read, much less respond, to the previous arguments of others?
TCK,
How many democrats took a stand against the criminal war in Iraq on principle? You don’t expect them to do so now do you?
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Serious question:
It seems like people who are typically democrats don’t have anyone to support – government wise. Who will make it better in your eyes?
Shawn, please don’t be a wet blanket. I, for one, have really enjoyed this discourse.
I’m really into peanut butter and oil soaked rags. ???JM? Um.. what exactly do you do with them?
JM: Lamar? You’re over on the other side of the state right?
And seriously, Kaine’s eyebrow is ALIVE!!!!!!
NoJoCo:Serious answer: Tim Kaine in his sleep would be a better president that GW Bush fully awake.
NoJoCo; your side is abandoning ship right now as well.
Truthfully, when all is said and done, both sides are experiencing a crisis of leadership.
I’ve heard Obama’s name lifted up. Why?
Rage, I think we both got a pleasant surprise here.
JM – I am most definately a guy
Ian – in spite of your stand against cheap illegal drugs from mexico – i hafta agree with you – the Dems failed miserably to vote their conscience, and instead voted the way they thought they would get reelected – they are as nuch at fault as anyone else
NoJoCo – I am no democrat (nor am I a republican) but my candidate of choice would be John McCain – I don’t agree with everything he has to say, but at least I know what he thinks
Dave Barry would make a better presidential candidate than either side could offer up for the next election.
Vote Dave in ‘08!
Newt’s agreeing with me on Kaine, I may need to rethink this whole thing.
Rage, that post of yours has been one stubborn sucka!
Well I’m not exactly a Democrat, but I’m considering Feingold. As for locally, I don’t know. Finding people to run against Toddly is apparently harder than one might expect.
My state rep IS a Democrat, and the state senator is a moderate Repub.
O denizen of Kansas’ Evil Empire, did you not hear his speech at the Democratic National Convention?
Water? Who said anything about water? Here in Missouri, we wash with chad. Ha . . . figure that one out. I lived here for three years before somebody told me, because . . . tada . . . drum roll . . . it’s Missouri . . . the show me state:-Q
Rage: It didn’t get any better.
Didn’t Dave run already?
sly – look at the time on his blog clock
TCK, you’ve obviously never had to deal with McCain.
That was the lamest SOTU speech so far.
90 percent banal generality: freedom on the march, stop terror, help hurricane victims, don’t cut and run, improve education.
1 percent misleading statistics: 4.6 million new jobs.
8 percent “new programs” like hydrogen cars that will definitely be phased in by 2028.
“JM? Um.. what exactly do you do with them?”O, shucks, a little of this, a little of that. You know . . . stuff.
hmmmmmm…….interesting. How’s he do dat!?!?
Daisymae nailed it. I’ve got the last word until 10:15! WOO-HOO!!
MC,failed
And 1 percent shout out to Coretta Scott King, Sandra Day O’Conner and any other important women with three names . . .
Hey, I’m good.
daisymae – you from Arizona?
my real preference would be the current Montana gov (Brian schweitzer) who is a dem – but also an honest to God real person – but he isn’t running for prez
from my point of view, mccain is the lesser of available evils
Wish I could take credit, slyeyes (but they’d get mad at me if I did!. . .)
Like I said, TCK, you don’t have to deal with him.
320 and counting. This has been fun. Especially getting a rise *giggles* outta Ian.
JM ~ it’s been fun almost showering with you.
Tramp ~ It’s been nice almost falling in e_lust with ya. I stress the almost part cause your (not you’re) wife may be watching. Hope I *posted* enough to help you get your buzz on.
G’nite WEbloggers. Thanks for lettin me invade your space. Hope I didn’t use up all your pixels on my senseless comments.
Proudlib,
Did you really expect anything more?
Shrub is a prophet:I’m the master of low expectations.” —George W. Bush, aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003 rotflmosao
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
I loved the part where Bush got applause from the Dems when he whined about not getting Social Security “reform”.
OK, no offense to you all, but I’m gonna go find fresher pastures – all this serious talk is killin’ my buzz
When Ian starts making sense, you KNOW you’re living in scary times. . ,
Hey Rage, even a broken clock’s right twice a day!
Here are some more nuggets of wisdom from the Coconut in Chief:
“See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don’t attack each other. Free nations don’t develop weapons of mass destruction.” —George W. Bush, Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 3, 2003
“The ambassador and the general were briefing me on the — the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice.” —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Oct. 27, 2003
“This very week in 1989, there were protests in East Berlin and in Leipzig. By the end of that year, every communist dictatorship in Central America had collapsed.” —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Nov. 6, 2003
“I’m the master of low expectations.” —George W. Bush, aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003
Viva la Raza Blanco!!
Ditto, wolfie, anytime your feelin dirty . . .
Great blog. Bush still sucks, and we’re still at war. I would have slept right through it if it hadn’t been for this. Dave’s boogers rock!
CF = late to the party. Looks like y’all had some good times.
Commentator spin on ABC doesn’t seem too favorable. Sounds like Bubble Boy was typically repetitious, bumptious, and vacuous. But what do I know? I abstained!
“In my stae of the, state of the union, state of the state, speech to the people, whatever ya wanna call it…” George Bush 2005
*y-a-w-n*
I need to go get ready for bed and get all comfy for when The Daily Show is on.
‘night, all. JM, maybe our jetskies will run into each other some summer at The Lake.
It’s been fun y’all.
TCK: Re: live in Arizona. Nope. I’m in So. Fla…same as DB.
LOL Ian.
Well G’nite all, I’ve drank all the 7Up I can handle for one night. Yes Wolfie, 7Up. I don’t drink alcohol. I enjoyed talking to all of you, especially Wolfie.
Thanks to all the new and regular bloggers who participated tonight. When I suggested the idea, I didn’t know if people would be interested or, if they were, whether our server would hold up. It was fun. I’ll try to look for opportunities to do it again.
Thanks Daves bloggers for coming. Come on back anytime.I may well visit your blog.
All in all, just more rhetorcal tripe. The thing I take away is bush’s optimism and call for optimism.
Hmmmm We are “at war” with no end in sight.
People want to kill all of us.”Our economy cannot function without immigrant labor”
“We are addicted to foreign oil”
Funny,,,, I don’t feel very optimistic.
Your server was challenged. There were a few times when it got reeeeaaalllllyyy slooooow, when posts disappeared, and when the autochecker stopped me twice, suspicious I was a robot . But all’s well that ends well, and a good time was had by all.
I’m not sure how much of the actual speech we listened to…
There was a speech?
Just stopping in (LTTG) to say: “BOOGER!” in honor of Dave.
Darn CF we missed you.
XXX I was blogging and since I have webtv, I could only listen to the speech while doing that. I gotta see the Dems flummox bushie when they applaud no social security reform!
J R,
Yeah, my kid watched it told me that happened. Maybe Crooks and Liars will have some film. Looks like y’all lived large.
Mr. Brownlee, kudos for the good idea.
I’m late to the party, but would like to say: “Bush! Bush! Bush!”
:)
Good speech tonight Mr. President.
All I can say is, Geena Davis for President!
Hilary 2008.
I so despise George W. Bush, traitor and terrorist.
J.R. We’d love for you to come join us at Dave’s blog. We’ll be looking for you.

… how the memory alters the course of history …
Well, Dave’s Blogits represented him well! Sorry I didn’t make it (something about being asleep)
Later!
Last!!*looks around*I cant believe we got invited to another blog (somebody at their office messed up pretty bad..HA!) and I missed it.
Can we still play here if we’re nice?
Bangi
Oh rite, a comment on the State of the Union:I’d like to offer my indepth analysis on the speech made by the President of the United States and its potential effects on the economic integration between the US and Asia.*pause*
Ok, i got nth.
Would u settle for a booger joke?
…oh, and Booger!
This page is proof the Eagle is LIBERAL. I’m going to hutchnews.com.
Like I’m going to let that be the Last comment on this thread? I don’t think so.So just for Anna…Booger.
LTTG, but just want to give a shout out to all the DB blogits, of which I am one.
HOORAY!
AND
Please remind me never to go to Kansas – scary….and it seems they don’t like Jews much either, so not a good place for me!
Shalom!!!
I like jewish rye bread. Does that count?
Absolutely, JM.
Do you have a postion on bagels?? :)
Missionary, with cream cheese. Am I predictable, or what?
*goes to buy cream cheese*
*goes to buy cream cheese*
(wrong name got on my last post)
You beat me to it, sly.
*swings in on Tarzan rope**smooches El*i brought cheese
Thanks, Barrybloggers. You brought us more life than we deserve:)
Thanks, Barrybloggers. You brought us more life than we deserve:)
*whispers*JM does it on really big bagels. I have no idea if it’s cause he’s really big or just that he needs room to move.. but pass it on.
viva el otro presidento! (dave)

Who here doesn’t like jews?
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Jaws? I love Jaws. Well the first 1 and 2. Beyond that they got a little hokey IMHO.
Everyone still knows you want me Ian. No reason to hide behind the mask of distain.
Wolfie,
You still kickin’ around, you naughty, feisty little cyber-vixen,you?
Viva la Raza Blanco!!
I got a couple o minutes for lunch.
Wolfie, Ian wants tuna on rye.
I want Viva la beach blanket bingo. But I’ll take a tuna on rye myself.
Ian ~ I don’t kick, I saunter. Silly man.
JM ~ I have no rye. Nor tuna. Would you settle for chicken salad on pumpernickel?
Viva la lunchmeat!
Wolfie,
I am sorry sweetness but “sauntering” is considered salacious and thus not allowed in Kansas.
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
But I’m not in Kansas Ian my lil puddinpop. So I’m allowed to salaciously saunter if I want too. Besides, I have special dispensation from The Powers That Be (TPTB for short) that grant me heretofor unheard of full sauntering privileges in any locale I so choose to saunter. Want to read the decree? It’s in braille. Someplace upon my person.
