Any predictions regarding the SOTU speech? How will Congress greet the Chimp?
Lukewarm applause? Cheers? Boos?

9. I'm betting the repugs in the room will be under marching orders
to yell, slap, stomp and scream their support of every damn inane thing Chucklenuts comes up with. They will be that faction that will attempt to "win" the debate by being the loudest in the room.

In my dreams I want to see every Democratic person in the room sit on their hands, turn their backs, boo, hiss and most important of all....laugh. Laugh long and hard and repeatedly at Chucklenuts and the Rethugs attempts to put lipstick on this sorry pig of an administration.

I have found that the worst insult to someone who thinks they are relevant is to laugh at the notion. I want the Dems to bring out giggles, hee haws, and belly laughs when the little Dicktator walks in the room. If we can get some of the Dems to work up a few tears and rolling on the floor to express their opinion of this administration would be perfect. We have stopped taking these asswipes seriously and they need to know it.

6. Lieberman and McCain will be applauding wildly.
The rest of the GOP will be split between polite & enthusiastic. The Dem's will be polite & restrained.

11. Liberman will probably be hiding in the podium
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 12:01 PM by shadowknows69
to give Georgie a hummer during his speech. Ugh I can't believe I just voluntarily conjured that image. I'm sorry.

13. I hope they are silent
except for when they hiss when George talks about a surge in Iraq. Last year, the House members booed him. It was great, and they are more pissed this year.

Would not miss this one for the world.

15. Total silence...
That's my hope. To me that speaks louder than hissing or booing.

16. Silence would be more effective than boos....
.... once he rolls out his patriotic sayings that his speechwriter includes in the speech for cheap applause, there should be stony silence.
