2008 State of the Union address: NOW LIVE!

Elki

Who: George W. Bush, mothafuckas!
Where: All networks
When: Monday, at 9 P.M. EST

This will be the first time I watch a president give his final address. And not any president, but George. Exciting stuff. I can't imagine him getting bogged-down in policy detail in this one. This one is for legacy. I imagine "the history books" will be get plenty of use by his speech writers.

Gim

"I love history books. I put them on my bookshelves. They make me look smart. Heh heh!"

Yes, this will be a good 'un.

Loren Michael

It just seems fucking sad.

Kagera

I wonder how many times he'll say September 11th.

Or security.

Or recession.

I hope we see the confidently defiant Bush talking about how he we voted for him twice and how great he is and all that bull. And then thank the American people for 8 years in office, just to remind everyone we're to blame and all.

Dracomicron

I just want him to come out, sit down, look at the camera and say, "FOOLED YOU! Suckers."

Then he'd stand up and walk away.

Or he could reveal himself as Osama Bin Laden's lackey. Either is good.

Dakeyras

Or do a little dance while singing: my bankaccount is bigger than yours.

I'll drink to it being his last though.

At least, we THINK it is.

Nah not even President Cheney can change the constitution that much.

Or vise versa.

I hope he sings Detharmonic

In the form of income tax, I'd rather take a fucking axe
to my face, blow up this place, with you all in it, I'd do it in a minute
If I could I'd write off your murder, I'd save all of my reciepts
because I'd rather you be dead, then lose a tiny shed of what I make this fiscal year....

Satan.

Hopefully this will be streamed by C-SPAN or something.

Let me guess...

The state of the union is "strong"?

Should we establish a drinking game?

Do you really think you'll need a game to drink during this one?

We should all probably get fucked up before hand, then it won't be as depressing.

The internet usually develops one anyway.

No "body" can be president for more than 2 terms.

But Bush has been working on securing a new body.

Besides this, some say he was only elected once.

considering Bush's overall flaunting of the Constitution, you think a little thing like an amendment to the root document of our nation's laws is going to stop him?

I was just joking before, about the "Suckers!" thing.

He'll probaby go over his plan for the nation's final year, in actuality.

WASHINGTON—As his last term in office winds to a close, President Bush has directed White House aids and Cabinet staff to begin preparing for 2008, the nation's 232nd and final year in existence.

"My fellow Americans, it has been an honor to be your last president," said Bush during a televised address Tuesday, assuring citizens he would do everything possible over the next few months to promote a smooth transition into utter oblivion. "I want you all to know that I do not intend to let what precious little time we have left go to waste. That's why I ask all citizens to pull together and follow me, so we can accomplish everything we've ever wanted to before it all crumbles around us in a terrible belch of smoke and ash."

Added Bush, "It's now or never, people. No regrets."

As part of his ambitious 11-and-a-half-month plan, Bush has prioritized winning the War on Terror in order to secure Iraq's stability in a world where the U.S. is nothing more than a fleeting memory. Additionally, he has urged Congress to block upcoming stem-cell legislation "just in case," and has set aside the months of April and May to get in touch with all countries the U.S. has wronged in the past and apologize, and default on America's $9.16 trillion dollar international debt with a wild spending spree, respectively.

A special executive committee has also been formed to draft the country's final words.

In response to critics who claim Bush is a lame duck and plans to pass the responsibility of helplessly watching the collapse of society onto the next president, Bush said he is "still the commander in chief," and remains dedicated to solidifying America's legacy before the darkness takes hold.

so, when's Order 66 going to be called?

Shinto

I'll watch it for the Democratic response. I haven't seen Sibellus speak before.

Also, as a milestone to seeing the back of George Bush.

I know one of the subforums has a Vent server that everyone uses, included D&D. Maybe that was it?

We did, but it was a pain to try to listen to the SotU while also listening and talking in vent. I'm sticking with the forums this time.

Thanatos

We used the G&T server. They gave us a room.

You know what I'd like to see?

"The state of the union is..." (reveals envelope, opens, reads) "Colorado."
And then Wayne Allard jumps out of his seat, screams, rushes to the podium, and gives a tearful acceptance speech.

Kagera

I would like to see MC Rove rap again.
