* is drunk-got the old cowboy thing going on

[w8liftinglady]

did you hear what he said to Larry Gatlin?"we both grew up in Midland-hhe was blue collar,I was white collar-he's a singer ...I'm president"
What a worthless,overinflated piece of shit.

[Jane Austin]

1. Yikes. Where did he say that?

I hope it was on national teevee!

[w8liftinglady]

5. at the grand ol opree...bet we don't hear it again

[Jane Austin]

15. Man, I wish those people would wake up and smell the bullshit.

Tennessee people are very nice, and a lot of them have a deep-seated pride in their family histories.

They used to run first-person accounts of people's family stories in the Bristol, TN paper, when we spent some time there.

I was deeply affected by the stories of love, sacrifice, honesty, faith, hard work, talent and all the other great virtues you can think of.

This wasn't a made-in-China, trashy culture; it was a virtuous and meaningful culture.

I can't imagine that bush's put-down of one of their own would go over very well with the people we knew from that area.

[Clark2008]

19. If it helps, we're still that way, for the most part.

It's just that we have little alternative media and fewer people willing to admit that Bush is not their parents' Republican.

FWIW, Nashville is a "blue" city, so I'm sure the people at Shrub's speech were, as always, screened and hand-selected.

[liveoaktx]

2. Yes. what an ass. then he said he only needles people he likes, yah sure

Most people, I'm sure, love getting made fun of in public over tv without any recourse or opportunity to call him an ass back.

[Jane Austin]

4. "Sunny Nobility"

You suppose this is what Tweety means when he refers to bush's "sunny nobility"?

Feh.

[Atman]

3. He gets all cowboy when people applaud him

It's like a tonic. Applaud him and he gits that shit-eatin' smirk and start to talk tough-Texan. Oooooh....black Bart is in town! He's a gonna git yew varmits who is a criticizin' him!

[sui generis]

6. I'm prezdent! I'm pp ppp ppu prezdent!

That's nice, good for you, you evil little brat. Now run along along and torture some small animals or something. . . go on, shoo!

[jimshoes]

7. Silver spoon

plastic spoon. We know the score mr. pretzel.

[sui generis]

8. holy crap I thought you meant he went all brokeback

holding on to Jack (Daniels) and moaning, "ah wish ah knew how to quit yew!"

[w8liftinglady]

9. lol..he only "needles" his friends

maybe it's a descriptive term for his...

[Crankie Avalon]

10. Drunk you say? Maybe he'll slip out of his fake cowboy drawl...

...and into his authentic prep school squeek: "It was just tickety-boo being here and now toodly-pipski, everyone!"

[liveoaktx]

20. I don't know if he's drunk, he's being extra folksy-it's the SOTU

dumbed down in his folksiest, moronic style.

[Marr]

11. Jesus, what an arrogant and insulting thing to say.

Just bragging about his 'noble' birth and his natural station above Gatlin. I swear to god, these little comments he thinks are funny- they're so revealing.

[Sequoia]

12. Clinton was blue collar...and SMART....and the President.

[Jeanette in FL]

13. "Let me put this in Texan"

If al-caida is calling you, we want to know". Explaining his wire tapping.

[Dancindays]

[w8liftinglady]

14. "let me put it to you in texan"

"you are all F88ked"

[w8liftinglady]

16. oh,no-your taxes are going to go up

pointing to his friends

[w8liftinglady]

17. social security and medicare

we are getting ready to retire-the system is "flat going broke"

[w8liftinglady]

18. do't cut benefits-just slow them down

WTF-too much politics in dc??>????

[SillyGoose]

21. He's insane. How can people clap for this guy?

WTF is he talking about with medicare? He's not going after that, too, is he?

[CottonBear]

22. He can't stop lying. He grew up in the Northeast. n/t

[Nikki Stone 1]

Junior's terrible off the cuff.

Always has been

[fooj]

23. Are you fricking kidding me?

OMG...................:puke:

[w8liftinglady]

24. oh,jeez-now healthcare

[w8liftinglady]

26. prescription drug program

most people find it's a good deal

[w8liftinglady]

27. healthcare lagging behind

I'll give you my input on this later(as a nurse)

[SillyGoose]

25. So, these "guest workers" - will they be paid min. wage?

[w8liftinglady]

28. Healthcare savings accounts

[SillyGoose]

29. He has something about OB/GYNs.

Its like a fetish or something. Sheesh.

[w8liftinglady]

30. don't forget-HCA also pays for liability

they are the most frequently sued hospital chain because they sacrifice safe care for profit

[MADem]

31. He's mad because he was too dumb to go to med school, perhaps?

Though I'd guess he'd be better suited as a proctologist, had he the intellectual capacity, seeing as he is such a major league asshole....

[SillyGoose]

32. ROFL!!

[w8liftinglady]

33. his back drop reads-

Americans win when america leads

I really see 1984 before my eyes.

[w8liftinglady]

34. about the hurricane-we are going to analyze our response

[w8liftinglady]

35. working on ethics reform

bullshit.

[w8liftinglady]

36. I set the strategic vision-

optimistic about our future...God Bless...and the moron staggers off the stage

[liveoaktx]

37. He has repeatedly made comments about how long this speech is

and when to get off the stage. Makes me wonder if there are people scowling at him in the audience... like he's the warmup act for somebody BETTER
