Who is delivering the Dem response tonight? I sure hope it has ball's
and stands up to the litany of lies and deceipts.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if whomever delivered just listed EVERYTHING these slimeballs have done and then just finish with a clarion call for public outrage and chimps impeachment!!!!

God I wish I could believe in the likelihood of such a principled stance but.........

I can can dream anyway.

1. If i'ts Pelosi forget it
I don't mean to badmouth her, but she is so uninspiring and her botox forehead creeps me out. Sorry.

2. She better not. She looks foolish reading the telepromter.
Her eyes never move from it. She looks unprepared.

8. Thanks for the welcome
I saw it on CNN while I was at work, about 4:30 am. I saw it on the news tickler at the bottom of the screen on CNN around noon. It may have changed and I'll look for another source.

14. No, I'm charge nurse
of an infectious disease unit at our local hospital. Most people would never have recognized Tulerimia. Are you in the medical profession?

7. I was afraid of that. Why couldn't it have been Cynthia Mckinney or
Dennis K or Barbara B.

Instead we get "born again" Pelosi and Harry limp dick.

11. I'm sorry too
but last year when she and Daschle did it I could hardly watch it. They both had constant smiles and their happy voices on and with the lack of facial expression it was like looking at two plastic dolls. Add that to the lack of outrage and it was almost worse than watching the SOTU with Bush**.

6. my top choice is ............
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 04:30 PM by welshTerrier2
John Stewart ...

why not ???

how cool would it be to have him use humor to highlight the hypocrisy of bush's message ...

no one will listen to the droning of Democratic policy wonks ... without passion, without powerful (and satirical) opposition, with a "we're all Americans and blah blah blah", they might as well not say anything ... because no one will be watching ...

you want an audience; you put on a good show ... yakking about policy, no matter how important it is and no matter how much attention it deserves, just isn't going to fly ...

Democrats need humor ... we need drama ... we need passion ... we need fire and combativeness ... droning on about social security will get very low ratings ...

should it be this way ??? no, of course not ... but Democrats need to understand that the first rule of presentation is to be interesting and yes, perhaps even entertaining ... you can mix in a little "wonk", but it's got to be a seasoning not a main course ... it's too bad but that's the way it is ...

13. Pardon me while I blow chunks
again.



None of the ideas expressed above are actually mine. They are channeled to me by Luther and Maximoto, the space aliens who live under my bed. In return for these ideas, I have given them permission to eat any dust bunnies they may find under there.
