    I want to see Bush throw the Republican party under the bus. Not going to happen, of course. :P

    When Bush starts moving into the section where he talks about what's going to distract us from the war for the next year, I want him to point to an empty seat, say Casper is sitting there, and say he's starting up a NASA discovery committee with 2 billion dollars to discover ghosts.

    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.

    Are you secretly Nancy Pelosi?

    Wonder what its gonna be like next year with the new prez. Especially if its Obama.

    Oh man, fuckton of Blazing Saddles jokes oughta pop up in this thread.

    "Ladies and Gentlemen of the United States, it is my privilege to introduce to you our new.....******."

    Could you imagine all of Congress pulling out their six shooters and pointing them at Barack? Or even better, him pulling the Black Bart trick. Alright, I'm done.

    You're gonna wanna edit that, you can't use that word on these forums.

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

    When the Democrats have their backs turned on the troops, duh.

    I forgot this was happening tonight. I think watching the State of the Union every year is the one way I've managed to keep myself slightly rooted in politics. Because y'know, in 2000 and 2004 I was so in love with it. Temporarily.

    I don't really regret that, though. I can catch the good parts on YouTube, if there are any. Given his record, I doubt there will be.

    I can't watch or listen to the man speak at length. It fills me with the maddening desire to destroy whatever is making the horrid noise, and strangle whomever thought it was a good idea to put him into office.

    I'm not even kidding.

    Wait... we're still clapping when Bush is introduced? Or is this the kind of polite applause I saw on American Gladiators when someone took forever to do the Eliminator and they were all just clapping that she managed to make it all the way to the finish line?

    Designated survivor tonight is Dirk Kempthorne, Secretary of the Interior.

    So far he's not exactly going for anything flowery. He's cutting the crap and going right to 'hey, Congress, pass this and this and this'.

    I know, he actually sounds like a leader, even if his "make tax cuts permanent" schtick makes me want to vomit. And he made a funny. That, and Cheney is smiling behind him.
