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.

Hi, I'm Harry Reid, the new Democratic leader in the Senate (because the old one got beat!)

I didn't post the whole time because I wanted to drink every word, and he did not disappoint. I DARE pundits to qibble and denigrate anything he said so forcefully and convincingly.

I've heard it in the past. I'm 34.

Brit just said the only other time he can recall it happening is in 1995 when the new Republican congress gave a few boos to an extremely long speech by you-know-who.

Oh, dear, Harry and Nancy are up. Good grief.

I refuse to watch the Dem response. I won't let them take this good feeling away from me. And, I won't listen to the pundits tonite either.

So sorry, maybe your new freeper chick (the one you'll hook up with from tonight's thread) will have a Kleenex.

You're an embarrassment to this forum, Joe.

No doubt about that.
