* * * OFFICIAL 2007 STATE OF D-U-H UNION SPEECH THREAD PART 2 * * *

[derby378]

Keep 'em coming, you beautiful, mad DUers!

[Lerkfish]

1. I KNEW we'd get shots of lieberman

the msm is so predictable.

[derby378]

3. Lucky you...

I'm listening and typing, not watching so much.

[derby378]

2. Federal funds for states that provide basic private health insurance

More money for state governors, and supposedly "more flexibility."

And now, here come the Health Savings Accounts...

[Th1onein]

4. Please! Get him off the air!

The staged applause is driving me nuts!

We have an idiot for a president! Come on, Congress, own it!

[mctrotter5]

5. So we are Democrat not Democratic party!

[papau]

15. He has said "Democrat" not Democratic party a few times now - amd the media

never comments on the insult.

[readermostly]

43. Whoops, he can say "Democratic". Just not in reference to the party.

[moonladyoregon]

6. Healthcare Weaselwords

This is so confusing and basically was one of those nasty little "screw the little guy while sugar coating it" tricks. I have one of the last semi-decent corporation-provided health care plans and I don't get taxed on its value; he would certainly make it that way.

Vile little fuckwad

[Richard Steele]

19. Hey, moonlady: welcome to DU!

:hi:

[pepperbear]

29. YES! welcome to DU!

:hi:

[derby378]

7. "The best health care descisions...are made by patients and their doctors"

THEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU MUZZLING GOVERNMENT WORKERS FROM TALKING ABOUT ABORTION PROCEDURES?!?!?!?

Geez.

[susu369]

8. Does Cheney ever BLINK?

reminds me of a snake....

shots when he blinks (pun intended).

[derby378]

9. Employers get tools to validate legal status of immigrant workers...

This is gonna be fun...

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Look at Cheney...

He looks all sad sick puppyish.

[KatyaR]

11. He's really not getting much reaction to most of his

proposals, is he? And what he is getting is not very enthusiastic.

[derby378]

12. "...you can pass and I can sign comprehensive immigration reform into law"

[derby378]

13. NUKULAR!

Wood chips, grasses, agricultural wastes...

OK, where is the real Geore W. Bush, and who is this imposter at the podium?

[cloud75]

14. woodchips!n/t

[DawgHouse]

16. who is cheney winking at?

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. I think it's a tic.

:hi:

[cloud75]

18. The biggest problem we have is Iraq and no mention yet crazy!n/t

[derby378]

20. We must increase domestic oil production in "environmentally sensitive ways"

???

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. "Serious challenge of global climate changing..."

Did he say changing instead of changes???

[derby378]

22. He said "global climate change," NOT "global warming"

Denial is not just a river in Egypt...

[Hosnon]

27. Well, I think "global climate change" is actually a more scientifically accurate

label as the increased heat will cause some areas of the globe to get colder. Global warming is going to do much more than warm up the globe.

AND, at least he's not denying it anymore. Remember, he used to say that the jury was out on the science.

[cloud75]

23. grey goose! cheers dick! n/t

[derby378]

24. One thing strangely missing from this year's SOTU: Democratic heckling

Anyone else notice this?

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. hmm I have to give it to Ed Shultz

he was right, this is a damn last stand, and an exercise in triangulation, pure and simple

[cloud75]

26. Here we go 9-11 and Iraq!

[derby378]

28. Finally, a halfway reference to 9/11

He didn't actually say September 11, he said "that September morning." Weenie.

[derby378]

30. He is STILL taking credit for that non-existent plot to fly a plane into a SF building

Wotta maroon.

[derby378]

31. "America's still a nation at war"

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. Influence of 9/11 still at work...

Thanks to you Mr. Bush. You don't let us forget it for a second.

[derby378]

33. "They want to force our country to retreat from this world..."

[derby378]

34. He's not going to say "civil war," is he?

Methinks not...

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Look at everyone's faces going all disbelieving.

I love it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. Like HEZ--- BOOO- LAHHHH...

He is totally attempting to ennunciate again, and it cracks me up.

[derby378]

37. Too many Democrats are standing to applaud him now...

Come on, guys!

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. I know. It irritates.

[derby378]

39. "Free people are not drawn to violent and malignant ideologies"

So what the fuck happened to you, El Diablo?

[derby378]

40. He's taking credit for Afghanistan again, despite the resurgence of the Taliban...

This is not going to end well...

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. First Pelosi eyeroll.

Awesome!

[derby378]

42. Damn!

I missed the eyeroll!

Oh well, I'm sure the Fox Noise Channel will play it over and over and over...

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. Of course they will.

Bleh.

[derby378]

45. Condi looks really, REALLY pissed...

Wonder if there was a lover's quarrel?

[ktowntennesseedem]

46. Another Pelosi Eye Roll!!!

connecting 9-11 and staying the course. VERY deserving of an eye-roll

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. Her mouth has gotten tighter and tighter...

:hi:

[ktowntennesseedem]

49. Just waiting to see her mouth "bullshit"

Facial expression is saying it loud and strong!

[Synnical]

Am I supposed to paying attention to what Idiot Son is saying?

I have it on the telly, but I'm paying my mom's bills, and frankly that seems much more important to me.

:boring: :eyes:

[ktowntennesseedem]

52. I'm just watching to see the reactions.

Paying way more attention to my blogging--nothing he says makes any sense anyway

[derby378]

47. Bush just dared Congress to defund the war effort: "Support the troops"

:mad:

[derby378]

50. Volunteer Civilian Reserve Corps?!?!?

Isn't this supposed to be, you know, the NATIONAL GUARD?

Or maybe Americorps?

What the fuck is so innovative about this?

Or is it a backdoor to a draft, perhaps?

[derby378]

51. "A Korean peninsula free of nukular weapons"

Yeah, and you're just the person to do it, right?

I'm amaze that you even mentioned Darfur.

[derby378]

53. You know what's missing from the speech? OSAMA BIN LADEN

Why am I not surprised?

[ktowntennesseedem]

55. He's sitting right in front of Hillary!

Looking over his yearbook from the Indonesian Muslim school, I think.

[derby378]

54. Methinks Paul Wolfowitz and the World Bank are gonna have a hand in "lifting debt"

And it ain't gonna be pretty how they do it...

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. Why is the Baby Einstein Lady there...and why haven't we parents

killer her yet?

[derby378]

57. Folks, I think this SOTU has lost all sense of flow and direction...

Basketball players, small business entrepreneurs turned ripoff artists, and whoopitidoo, we have some real heroes mixed in there as well. Now what?

[derby378]

58. ...and just as I say that, it's all over

Boy, what a trip...
