State Of Their Union 2007
Was Dick Cheney trying to make Nancy Pelosi burst into flames with his mind? Looked that way to me.
He spent, what, 5 minutes acknowledging that the new speaker has a vagina? What would he have said if the speaker were African-American? “Good job, boy”?
Funny how there were some folks reluctant to give a standing ovation after wishing a speedy recovery to absent colleagues.
7.2 million new jobs…in the armed forces.
Kennedy looked very ill during the Medicaid points, insert irony here.
Providing health care by changing the tax code? He couldn’t even say it properly. A novel approach, we need to make sure Stephen Harper wasn’t watching or if he was, prepare to remove him if he gets any ideas. It MAY work for the Americans, but it is not our way.
Drug smugglers and terrorists are not criminals? What happened to “I believe when you kill someone, it’s a crime”? I guess Iraq and the death penalty killed that statement before it was uttered (or, you know, eventually put together with 2 hands and a flashlight).
Dick Cheney does not like to stand. Nancy Pelosi was quicker to support the president and more frequently.
“Clean Coal”? I believe this is a misnomer, should be CleanER coal.
Bush saying “global climate change” is like hearing the devil saying “praise Jesus”.
Cheney IS pulling Bush’s strings, they drink water in synchronous.
It took 35 minutes for the first 9/11 reference. Is that a new record for restraint? The second reference was only 1 minute later though. And the next two minutes after that that. The next 2 minutes later. Then again another minute later. He DID find a different way of saying it each time, probably to avoid becoming a ridiculous repeating clip gag.
Kennedy looked completely recovered by the section on the war on terror.
“They destruct with murder and bombs”? Putting aside the rhetorical nightmare, what precisely does your military do?
“And what is coming is ever worse”? If he ever claims not to be a fear monger after dropping that bomb will his pants catch fire?
Rice looked like hell. Preparing to return home perhaps?
2006 was The Empire Strikes Back?
So Bush is siding with the Shiia in the upcoming Iraqi civil war?
Softball Points
-Balanced budget
-Don’t raise taxes
-Spending discipline
-Eliminate the deficit (how could they possibly already cut it by 50% with a costly war?)
-Ending hidden earmarks (John McCain likey)
Seriously, who would disagree with any of those points?
