Bush's Lame Duck State of the Union III
Bush's same old, same old state of the union speech does not merit a full-blown dissertation. Sorry Bush fans. Perhaps a more Comedy Central style set of notes will do, for those of us who are totally numb from being pissed off for so long...
He did stumble nervously in the beginning. But who wouldn't if they knew the world was tuned in thinking about you in a lame duck costume?
Bush wants us to be better stewards of the environment? Who is he kidding? He barely choked out the term "global climate change" in the same breath as "reductions." He had to reach for the water fast...
One word stands out: "Wood chips."
This motherfucker must be the only person outside of Hoover, Alabama, who thinks we are going to stand idly by and let them mow down our forests and turn them into wood chips to make biofuel. Dumbass...
Nancy Pelosi, in her green dress, jumped out of her chair when Bush said we owe a debt to those who dedicate their lives to stopping the terrorists...
So, why wasn't she wearing a blue dress? And why didn't she slap Cheney, not bat her eyes at him?
Yes, yes, Bush wants us to have a bigger military, which will of course please the military industrial complex bosses - some of Bush's biggest campaign supporters...
Yet somehow he says he wants Congress to balance the budget. Hmmm...
We can't have nukes in Iran, now can we? Duh...
He looks like he's gonna save the world in that blue tie, or at least Darfur. And of course he wants to fight HIV in Africa.
Where was stem cell research? And what happened to that nod to Lance Armstrong on cancer research? Guess Lance's White House visit didn't rate...
And of course he wants tax breaks to promote "private insurance" for Americans, which won't help anyone without health insurance, only his insurance buddies...
That about sums it up. It's Yuengling time. Comments?

Very stiff and dry and that was on NPR. The Democrat Jim Webb from VA was quite powerful, Bush is as he is a bush, not to lick but kick. Maybe we should all take a Xanax and a Cognac and sleep through the next State of the Union address if it's all the same BS from the last six. At least the Demos finally scored in the reaction department. Cheerio, mate.

According to one of the MSNBC analysts, Bush was "somber." I wouldn't say that. He's just a fuck up. But he didn't smirk as usual. They've finally got him working on that...

President Bush's State of the Union speech was the usual blah, blah, blather. Could have mailed that one in. However, it was worth tuning in to see the guests in the balcony, especially the New York Subway Hero. Because what he did was such an amazing, selfless act of courage, he is truly a shining example and inspiration for all the rest of us. If he ran for president, he'd get my vote, and no doubt he'd do a better job than the current occupant of that office.
