STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05

Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by Timeout

The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.

Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).

Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.

Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.

Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

I'll never forget that - ever. I'm sure there are thousands of Iraqis who wish they could hug the mothers and fathers of our men who have died.

Chris Mathews just said that the mother gave the dog tags of her son to the Iraqi women

Brought on more tears here when I heard that.

NCarolina has its own axis of evil. Various members, depending who you consider to be "insurgents".

What an act to follow! (not an act, but you all know what I mean) Pelosi and Reid are going to be stumbling over themselves trying to make whatever they have to say sound relevant.

I swear to Almighty God, I will work my butt off for Condi in 2008 just to keep this man's dream alive.

In the future, he will rank with Reagan.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
