State of the Union Thread

[Godwynn]

He's beating the Iran wardrum.

 

[amadeus]

Comprehensive Immigration Reform - Freerepublic just blew up.

Dear God, is he still pushing that? He's certainly starting to give Carter a run for his money.

 

[countrygrl]

i'm supposed to be watching this for school. am i missing anything? has he said nucular yet? or al-ki-A-da?

 

[The Yankee]

It's probably the new Capitol menu. Mondays is snow leopard served with a side of the Hope diamond.

And a dessert of stem cells.

After the speech:

Bush: Speaker Pelosi, what do you think about the policies I outlined?
Pelosi: You were speaking? Sorry, but I was reading Harry Potter and couldn't hear a word you said...

Harry Potter looks too much like Mitch McConnell, so I doubt she'd read it.

 

[cubsfan6506]

He also tried to bring up irq al quadia ties

Yeah. Kind of funny seeing the Republicans reluctant to clap harder for a change.

Paid for by the new science funding!

Would you prefer the Communist Manifesto?

 

[amadeus]

It must be crowded there tonight with everyone sitting on the left side of the aisle.

 

[Shadylookin]

Congress isn't childish enough?

as I recalled there were some applause when bush said if we don't renew the patriot act then it will go away before he finished his sentence saying it was a bad thing for it to not be renewed. while not boos still pretty childish

 

[JollyRoger]

I think Bush will name his new Cabinet for 2008:

Jose Cuervo
Johnny Walker
Jack Daniels
Bud Weiser
Jim Beam

 

[The Yankee]

Well, at least he has yet gone on a ten minute tangent telling us how Sue DeBlue in Kansas saved a bunch of money when she switched to Geico.

Would you prefer the Communist Manifesto?

Gotta play the part.

 

[capslock]

GOD I'm gettin outta here before I drown in the hater-aid.

Some of you need to get a grip. lol

 

[Godwynn]

Some of you need to get a grip. lol

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Anyway, if Bush knows all of this about Iran, why doesn't he just ask Congress to invade already? Jesus, he is making it sound like Tehran is doing much worse than Baghdad did pre-2003.

 

[Babbler]

Is just me, or does the SOTU resemble a church sermon?

 

[The Yankee]

Some of you need to get a grip. lol

Okay, so point it out to us. Teach us. So far, this is a pretty pedestrian speech.

 

[Gilder]

I blame the Daily Show for getting me into this, but Pelosi blinks a lot, while Cheney barely blinks at all.

 

[JollyRoger]

FISA would be passed if Bush wasn't so worried about protecting the phone companies from breaking the law.

"America opposes genocide in Sudan"

Great! Glad to hear it. Now what are we going to do about it? We don't have the manpower to pacify Iraq, hunt for bin Laden in Afghanistan, invade Iran and peacekeep in Sudan...

Deploy George Clooney for peacekeeping operations.

It's a pity the UN can't get off their butts and do what they are supposed to do. I suspect that Germany and France have more than enough troops to handle this one. Why should the US do it alone if the UN won't? Seems that last time the US acted without UN approval we got slammed for it.
