State of the Union Live Blogging
8:30 I just had an incredible idea. I can watch the State of the Union address tonight, all the while writing down snarky observations and comments. Then I can post them to my blog. No one else will be doing that. I will be the toast of the blogosphere with that kind of original thinking. Let's get started.
8:45 O'Reilly is pre-analyzing the address with Juan Williams and Tony Snow. Can't we wait for the speech before we analyze it. PLEASE?
9:02 In comes the Cabinet and I'm bored already Someone needs to kick this up. The Cowboy cheerleaders or Shania Twain would be a good start.
9:05 In walks da Prez to riotous applause. There's a shocker. How odd to see middle aged white men giving "brother" handshakes. Sheila Jackson Leigh is not so honored.
9:08 The applause continues. And continues.
9:10 Bush finally starts speaking, declaring Iraq "sovereign." Whoa. Tell that to the 25th Infantry.
9:13 Cheney and Hastert: separated at birth?
9:14 Bush promises to cut the deficit in half by 2009, to resounding applause. If the CEO of an airline promised that, they would have fired him.
9:15 John Kerry is still looking for a personality transplant. Thank God we didn't elect that stiff.
9:19 Update the archaic tax code! Hillary frowns and claps quietly. Apparently "archaic" is a good thing to her.
9:20 Social Security reform. Bush says "we must strengthen and save social security," and the Democrats sit on their hands. And their position is we must weaken it and allow it to die?
9:22 Bush promises not to change Social Security for anyone over 55, and the Dems sit on their hands for that to.
9:24 The Dems actually heckle the President of the United States with catcalls in the middle of the SotU address over Social Security. The President graciously ignores them.
9:25 Bush trots out a list of Democrat proposed reforms, declaring Social Security reform more important than partisan politics. Now the Dems rally with applause. What is their position anyway?
9:28 Bush proposes that people should control their own money. The Republicans erupt in applause and the Democrats look like someone shoved a sourball in their puss. Lord forbid anyone actually owns the money they earn.
9:30 Bush: "The money is yours and the government can never take it away." Republican side: riotous applause. Democrat side: stony silence. Nice. They can't even promise not to steal.
9:34 Bush sums it up: The privileges of Congress should be extended to include young Americans. Again the Repubs applaud and the Dems look dour. Are we watching the demise of the party of Thomas Jefferson??
9:34 Bush declares that his judicial nominees deserve an up or down vote. Senate Judiciary member Joe Biden (D - De) smirks. What a statesman.
9:35 If Laura Bush wasn't over a decade my senior, I would join Kondracke and declare her "hot." Come to think of it, her daughters are two decades my junior, and I have no problems declaring them hot, so what the hay?
9:38 Where are the shots of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer and the rest of the left wing conspiracy? So far, they are AWOL.
9:41 Did Cheney just pick his nose? I need to get some sleep.
9:56 "Freedom in Iraq will make Americans safer for generations to come." Hillary looks like she swallowed a dill gherkin, and Kerry looks like... well, nothing at all.
10:00 Oh my God. We have the mother of a Marine killed in battle in Fallujah hugging a woman who recently voted in Fallujah. Bush looks like he is barely holding in the tears. I am barely holding in the tears.
10:05 Too tired to continue blogging. I need to relax and let the pontifications of Brit, Juan, Mara, Mort, and Fred wash over me like a soothing bath. Or not.
