10. At least he got one thing right -- I'm very excited about the changes

to come -- especially ousting certain Republican Congressmen and women from their seats in November -- not to mention impeaching the boy king

[SillyGoose]

11. That was a pretty bad speech....random and rambling.

[SeanQuinn]

12. He's done. Woooohooo! nt

[markus]

13. That's it for the Gulf Coast? The lie about $85 billion?

If your fact checking visit fellow NOLA blogger da po' blog and read this:

http://dapoblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/i-want-my-85-billion.html

Gimme Strength Lawd Above

He got that religious crazy talk in there didn't he?

[AZBlue]

Reached out to Dems w/olive branch according to ABC?? WTF??????

[rusty charly]

32. this is also a

constant repukes technique: screw you over. offer olive branch. rinse. repeat.

[CornField]

34. Must have been the part where he told us to forget his past mistakes

(read: lies and misrepresentations) and join the fight in Iraq because we no longer have a choice but to keep the region stablized.

[rodeodance]

94. tweedy was giving him high marks also.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. Anyone know how hot the FReeps are right now?

Has their SOTU orgy finished yet?

[SethInUpstateNY]

18. What a terrible speech!!!

[nickinSTL]

19. "..not worthy to lick Dr. King's shoes"

absolutely to whoever wrote that.

I can't help wondering how Mrs. King would have viewed the * the moran is spouting tonight.

[givemebackmycountry]

21. THANK GOD IT'S FINALLY OVER

Now grab the lube!

It's time for the cable news LUVFEST!

Matthews is stocked up on lip balm.

[Matariki]

22. Okay, I want to know about the "animal / human hybrids" ???

[AZBlue]

28. Well, it might explain the glazed look in Laura's eyes.

[Warren DeMontague]

45. Naw, that was just your standard nicotine jones.

About 45 minutes into the thing, all I could think was, "shit, it sure looks like Pickles could use a smoke"

[VP505]

30. Sure hope he

dosen't make a quick turn, Frist will get a broken neck.

[maxcass]

31. i think he's refering to Alito

That man looks like some animal crawled up his butt and started to squirm...seriously creeped out by that man

[DaDeacon]

33. Me too! Do we have one ? I want to see it !

[Esse Quam Videri]

35. Yes please, more info

on these creatures. That I think was the most interesting part of the speech.

[PegDAC]

91. Maybe

He was talking about himself - Chimpman!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[qanda]

24. Charlie Gibson just said that Bush should have reached out years ago

[SeattleGirl]

I don't think he reached out tonight. Who was the woman on

ABC talking about all the olive branches * was offering the Dems tonight? I don't know what speech she listened to, but it wasn't the same one I heard.

[Straight Shooter]

52. They get their talking points ahead of time.

Since when does anything bush says or does have any reflection of reality in the minds of media whores?

[otohara]

55. Like Insulting The Dems About Spying

that was all warm and fuzzy

[LSK]

25. look at Frist following him dreaming that he will be President

[SethInUpstateNY]

41. That's only if he's not indited by then.

[The Backlash Cometh]

75. Frist will go to jail, before he gets into the oval office.

[Mist]

26. I caught exactly 2 minutes of the SOTU--did * slur all the way through? nt

[Sydnie]

27. applause at the end was lame an unsustainable

that is very telling, even his own party is tired of him tonight!

[MadisonProgressive]

36. OMG what ABC is saying!

That * reached out to democrats many times in the speech, but it remains to be seen if the democrats will respond!

HE'S FUCKING LYING !!CAN'T THEY UNDESTAND THAT YYYEEETTTT????????????????

[AZBlue]

39. I know - they're pissing me off even more than he did!!!!!!!

[The Backlash Cometh]

44. What ABSOLUTE LIARS!!!

ABC I HOPE YOU GET GONORHEA FROM ALL YOUR WHORING!!!

[AZBlue]

"of the 62 paragraphs in the speech, 42 could have been given by Clinton"

HUH????

[mzmolly]

76. Yeah, calling us isolationist defeatists is really "reaching out"

reaching out a clenched fist.

[Wordie]

[WritingIsMyReligion]

38. Russert currently kissing *'s ass...

[maxcass]

46. just a question

how much lube does it take for all of congress to get their nose up bush's ass at the same time? They sure seemed to rush up to get in position afterwards.

[Sydnie]

69. nobody likes sloppy seconds! n/t

[Lexingtonian]

42. Lots of lipstick on lots of pigs

I'm actually wryly enjoying all this Republican cheer. A year from now there's going to fear in the room at the coming impeachment and breakup of the Republican coalition....

[CornField]

43. When is Kaine's response?

[dogday]

47. I don't know about anyone else but there was nothing

stated, nothing explained and everything is as it was before, no change. Why bother to give the speech...

[maxcass]

53. because the quickest way to brainwashing is repetition

[mrcheerful]

54. It was the typical shrub photo op, aren't I just wonderful?

[DesertRat]

57. He warned about human/animal hybrids

that was a new one. :rofl:

[boobooday]

84. Somebody better tell him about the pigman

Too late, Georgie . . . THEY'RE HERE!

[emulatorloo]

48. nutty newsweek on MSNBC _ "compasionate speech domestically"

[AZBlue]

49. Ewwww...why would any woman let that rat's ass kiss them?

[McCamy Taylor]

50. Kissing up to everybody tonight.

[maxcass]

62. who voted for these morons?

seriously how did we get so many idiots in office on the hill? Bush stole it sure, but what about the rest? How did we let them all sneak by us?

[connecticut yankee]

51. Every time I look at him

I feel like throwing up.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Tonight was no exception.

What a load of bulls--t

[AntiFascist]

58. It kind of ended on a hawkish note, and a smirk n/t

[Sydnie]

59. Bill Thomas up now on C-Span n/t

[Sydnie]

64. Blaming dems for being part of medicare now

Only one side is offering ideas and the other side is criticizing

[Javaman]

60. I don't like this phrase personally, but our president is retarded. n/t

[carolinalady]

61. All I know is I brought out the Bull shit meter-you be the judge

[Tristan]

65. lmao!

[AZBlue]

63. Who was the little girl they kept showing?

[carolinalady]

72. The one next to Lynne Cheney? I thought it was her

granddaughter.

[Vinca]

67. One of the most uninspired speeches I've heard, although I

give him credit for uttering "9/11" only once. Of course he said "terraists" about 1,000 times. Health care took up a whopping 30 seconds or so. Science and math initiative, all the while chopping college funding. On tape, once again, fessing up to illegal wire taps. What a waste of space this guy is . . . and apparently still afraid of Cindy Sheehan to boot.

[aka-chmeee]

68. How the Hell does he propose to pay for all the shit he has

proposed and promised tonight?

[Idioteque]

70. Tax Cuts n/t

[Sydnie]

73. his initiatives have NO money attached to them at all

they made that clear before he made that speech.

[Mist]

74. A) The programs won't be effected and B) what national debt? nt

[proud patriot]

[Jose Diablo]

77. Glad this is over

Will we have to listen to this guy next year also? Why can't this guy be dumped?

[Sydnie]

78. Rangel slamming him on C-SPAN

blivet** has been as partisan as anyone

Wants health care .. how is he going to pay for it

Tax cuts - borrow money from China to do it

Rangel hitting all the high points

Wealthy get the benefits and the poor are left out.

[maxcass]

83. KAINE IS LAME

When you are trying to find the right person to respond to the Bush bullshit, get someone with real presence, with a spine and a commanding voice. Not someone talking about being a missionary or doing the missionary whatever it was he said I tuned him out.

[sunnystarr]

79. THEY ARRESTED CINDY SHEEHAN?!?!?!?!?!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!! In the vistors gallery??!!!???

[PegDAC]

85. Mike Malloy

was just talking about it. Arrested just for wearing a T-shirt with the number of dead Americans on it. ABSURD!
:eyes: :wtf: :thumbsdown:

[adarling]

80. umm why is this guy giving the democratic rebuttal?????

he is kindof creepy

[DesertRat]

93. He's not the best speaker

I'll bet most people have shut off the tv by now. :boring:

[boobooday]

81. OH MY GOD

We've gone through some kind of warp. Bush gives a speech that's basically a big FU FU FU FU to US ALL, and Gloria Borger follows up by calling it a "grand vision."

I'm sick. I'm totally sick. He wants more war. He'll do what he wants. Un-freaking believable.

[CornField]

82. Interviewing some Dems on cspan2

Currently talking with Sheila Jackson Lee -- she's ripping him & his "speech" apart.

[maxcass]

86. someone needs to REALLY rip him

He's bullshit is getting old and it seems no one up there has the balls to really call him on it.

[Tristan]

89. Its sad but

noone really cares...most americans are ignorant...Thank god for sites like this for those of us who DO care.

[Sydnie]

88. Markey was good too!

Trying to listen to Kaine now, but his rogue eyebrow is driving me crazy!

[Pillager]

92. CNN

Why do I feel like CNN is trying to sell me more Bush?

[cboy4]

90. The dem response is weak!! He needs to get fired up. Be angry!!!!

:kick:

edit error

[Skinner]

95. Dem response thread is here
