Who else besides me did not watch the SOTU

[cags]

I instead spent my time doing something productive. I spent the whole day gathering signatures for our Stop Wal-Mart crusade. I feel good today, and I wouldn't have if I had watched that fool.

[Nite Owl]

1. I had a DFA meeting so I missed most of it

It was still on when we got back but I just couldn't turn it on. I did listen to Reid and Pelosi though.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

2. Didn't watch; did turn to C-Span to watch Reid (didn't watch Pelosi,

though. Went upstairs to DU).

[GainesT1958]

3. And a funny thing happened on account of my not watching it:

I called a friend of mine in Raleigh @ 9:10 p.m. whose wife--NOT he--is a Repub, and was of course idolizing her hero, the Little Moron, about to be led up to the House dais. She noted "You're calling during the State of the Union?", to which I responded: "Actually, Sharon, I make it a point to avoid watching speeches by people from whom I could never learn anything!":D

Boy, THAT one fixed her! (Of course, she'd probably already heard as much from her hubby, too!):eyes:

Just hope I didn't make her miss Dub's "bold" plan to take away her Social Security!:eyes:

:kick:

B-)

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

4. I didn't watch a single second of the

Bush bullshit blather.................

[Anakin Skywalker]

5. I Didn't Give a Damn about SOTU.

The plutocratic Republican party and its fundy base can just suck it!

[liberalmuse]

6. Not me!

I spent an hour on the john trying to pass a really big turd. Wait...no. That was Bush. Actually, I was commemorating this momenteous occassion by cooking up a batch of seitan. Appropriate, I think.

[jojo54]

7. I didn't

I can't stand looking at his f__king lying, manipulating scumbag monkey face. I did, however, watch ABC's Dem response. The reactions were interesting, to say the least. What really pissed me off was listening to Fareed Zakaria, and ABC consultant. He said that (in other words) * is doing o.k. 'cause the war/election in Iraq is going o.k. and * is not losing a lot of soldiers!?!? How can he justify 1348 lives, besides those of the Iraqi people * has killed?? This has hit home personally. A former classmate of my daughter will be buried tomorrow - he died in that helicopter crash during the sand storm (or that's what they say). A quick estimate was taken of about 2,000 people at the viewing tonight.

[FreedomAngel82]

40. I'm sorry for your

daughter's classmate. :( So sad. :( I flipped it on there twice for a few min's but couldn't stomach it. I did see a bit of Reid and Pelosi though. I just got so pissed off. Especially with the whole Iraqi woman fiasco. Especially after I read that thread that told the truth about her. :grr: Why can't he just go away?! He's harming us so much and my future. :grr:

[jojo54]

47. Thank you

She went to the viewing and will go to the funeral tomorrow while I watch my granddaughter, who doesn't have health insurance and I don't work because it will be less beneficial to everyone in my family as I also watch my grandson so my other daughter can work and go to school on the measly pissant loan she got 'cause the monkey continues to rape the lower and middle class of our money, dignity, freedom and democracy and I'm so sick of his crap and I wish someone would find the account numbers where he's stashed all this money he's stealing from the Iraqi oil...........whew!

Can I ever stop? NO! Sorry for the rant.

[SammyWinstonJack]

58. Don't be sorry, Your rant is our rant.

Welcome to DU. :hug:

[PDittie]

8. Rockets rolled on the Sixers!

14 three-pointers.

Was something else on?

[journalist3072]

9. I didn't feel like being lied to by a man!

So I didn't watch. I don't see how on earth any thinking person could watch the SOTU speech. How on earth could you trust what he's saying?!

Are people's memories so short, that they forget it was during a SOTU speech that he LIED about Iraq trying to acquire yellowcake uranium from African.

You know, it's ocurred to be that Bush is like that boyfriend that just keeps lying to you, and when you confront him on it, he promises not to lie again, yet he keeps doing it!

[whistle]

10. I watched it right up to where Bush said that all options for...

...Social Security are on the table, that no person over 55 will have any change to their Social Security and then he laid out his privatization program as being best. That was as much of the dictator as I could stand and I played Lolita, the original by Stanley Kubrick, staring James Mason, Shelly Winter, Sue Lyon and Peter Sellers.

[NoPasaran]

11. Went to a DFA Meetup instead

Not that I would have watched it if I had stayed home.

[Todd B]

12. I listened to it (sort of)...

I only listen to it during the Majority Report - and even that was too much to hear his voice interspersed throughout the conversation (even if they were making fun of him).

[Gman]

13. Went to the gym

didn't give one iota of a shit about it.

[For PaisAn]

14. Didn't watch

I don't like being lied to. And I already "know my enemy". Why would anyone put themselves through the torture of listening to that thing that inhabits the WH?!

[DieboldMustDie]

15. Not me! I haven't vomited in years, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Heard about 5 seconds of it on my car radio before I could hit the button and change the station. :puke:

[zann725]

45. As soon as he walked in, I turned off the set...as I chanted...

"Not my President. Not my President"...to counter-act the nausea.

Channel surfing later, each time there was a sound-byte about it...I abruptly turned it off. Just like I do each time they re-run that commercial of Poppy Bush and Clinton. After all, I DO have a puke- threshhold to consider.

[Greylyn58]

16. Nope

I can't tolerate him under normal circumstances, so I stayed far from him.

Besides I didn't want to lose my dinner.

:mad:

[Bake]

17. I was intentionally drinking with friends who didn't even know it was on.

I can't even watch the sound bites.

Bake

[opihimoimoi]

18. Watched Pelosi instead.

[TheMightyFavog]

19. I was generating a character for a Shadowrun campaign

At my RPG club meeting.

[Poiuyt]

20. I can't afford a new TV set

I know that if I watched, I'd surely throw a brick through mine.

[against all enemies]

21. Watched Smallville, better for the soul. Could Clark stop Cheney?

[bobthedrummer]

22. I didn't.

[elsiesummers]

23. Went to NYC Council meeting to bitch about Bloomberg's 91st St dump

then my husband took me out for sushi.

Between Bush and Bloomberg it's a good night to hate Republicans and everything they represent.

[asjr]

24. I watched a good old-fashioned corny movie.

[FreedomAngel82]

42. I watched

the "Newlyweds" and "Ashlee Simpson" instead of that crap. I'd rather watch Jessica whine about stuff and Nick hanging Halloween decorations and Ashlee singing.

[fujiyama]

25. I didn't even know about it

Granted, it wouldn't have made a difference because I was in class at the time.

Even if I wasn't, I still wouldn't have wasted my time watching that idiot talk.

[Verve]

26. Folding laundry in the basement. Much more enjoyable than watching *. n/t

[G_j]

27. gathering signatures

for our Stop Wal-Mart crusade."

GOOD for you!!

I spent almost two solid years fighting off Walmart supercenters in our community. Keep up the good work, you have a tough fight in front of you.
:toast: :thumbsup:
on edit: oh, I didn't watch either. I value my mental health.

[Lindacooks]

28. I wouldn't watch that piece of shit if you paid me.

[SammyWinstonJack]

60. I might if I were paid too, as long as I could turn the volume down

Since I'm only 52 and can expect my SS benefits to be slashed by half along with my husband's who is 53, I need every penny I can get my hands on.

[killbotfactory]

29. There is not enough alcohol on earth to make me want to subject myself

to that torture. He's like listening to a disgruntled K-Mart employee annouce a blue light special over the intercom.

[MeDeMax]

30. i was busy. n/t

-max.

[OneBlueSky]

31. I cannot watch that person without becoming ill . . .

haven't watched a single minute of the idiot in over two years . . .

[ralps]

32. I went to a meeting so I missed all of it Joy!

:hi:

[Beam Me Up]

33. I didn't. I won't. SPIN of the disUnion--why bother.

I do not watch TV AT ALL. EVER!!! And I haven't since * stole the election in 2000. WHY BOTHER!!!!

It's all DISEASED!!

[alittlelark]

34. I took my daughter shopping instead....

We both HATE shopping, but she is going to DC on the 13th for a week and needs some presentable clothes.... She'll be meeting w/ MY SENATOR ...... BARBARA BOXER !!!!!


I'm giving her a note to hand-deliver from me (swoon).

[FreedomAngel82]

43. Nice!

I wish I could go! Lucky. I hope she has fun. Glad she's meeting someone brilliant instead of a dodo.

[alittlelark]

50. She's also going on a WH tour....

but she knows what to do in the event of a Dodo bird sighting.... She'll make the papers !!!!

[Melynn]

35. I was at work

So I couldn't watch it. If I was at home, I would have watched just to see a preview of the madness that is going to come down.

[Liberal In Texas]

36. Me. And my wife. We sat in the den (no TV) and talked about computers.

I knew it was on. Fuck him. I didn't want to watch.

[springhill]

37. I just can't stand to look at him..............

He does very bad things for my blood pressure.

[anarchy1999]

38. Guilty, we watched instead the Poker Championship at the Bellagio

on the Travel Channel, I think. We just quite simply checked out and had some fun. I hope some of you saw it. (The poker game, not the "Speech" from the Son of Satan.).

Forgive me please, I get carried away sometimes. With "The Apprentice" and "The Amazing Race", what do we here in the US of A (God Bless us All), have to worry with and or for?

[EFerrari]

39. We didn't.. Watched "Battle of Algiers" instead. It was great.

We'll read the text tomorrow but this bug gets no more nights of ours.

[puerco-bellies]

41. Could not stand to watch the lying little a.w.o.l. coward. n/t

[VOX]

44. Took a short nap, did a few chores, grabbed a shower, helped my wife with

some of her home-office work.

Never once did the television or radio get switched on.

[Solar]

46. I only watched the Dem response

I had 3 reasons not to watch it

• I knew what he was going to talk about
  
• I knew he wasn't going to say anything else of importance
  
• I knew he was going to lie his ass off the entire time
  

[bumblebee1]

48. I didn't

I was at work. Since I work second shift, I had to miss the State of the Reich speech.

[Cell Whitman]

49. Not a word of it

I can however comment. haha If what I heard about blue tipped fingers is true...well, I thought the "let's all hate French things" was "protect the cult" like. sheeesh.

Atrios has a good post on the blue fingers...

[earth mom]

51. Nope, didn't watch it-not gonna let chimpy lie to my face anymore!

I did rejoice upon seeing a short clip on the late local news of the dems saying No and/or Booing and Not Applauding...! :bounce: However, I did avert my eyes to not look at *-and thus didn't allow him to lie to my face-LOL!

I am so pleased that the dems are showing some nerve-I hope it continues! I'm clinging to a glimmer of hope that now, maybe just maybe, Social Security may be saved, though I know it's gonna be one helluva fight!

[6th Borough]

52. I didn't do anything productive, but I sure as hell skipped the STOU.

If I'm being served propoganda, it may as well be force-fed.

...besides, I can only stand listening to the rat bastard for 15 second clips at a time, if even that much.

[Eric J in MN]

53. I didn't watch it (nt)

nt

[Fed Up]

54. I didn't watch it. I'll hear details on a piecemeal basis over time

[Piperay]

55. I didn't

the sight and sound of that freak makes me literally physically ill :puke: I refuse to ever hear him or see him! :mad:

[itzamirakul]

56. I went to sleep at 8:30 and didn't wake up until

about 2:30 AM. Glad I missed it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

57. I didn't watch a second of it.

Why would I watch someone who I know will lie straight out of the chute? My husband said he would rather put the TV on the floor and kick a hole in it then to watch that liar.

[phylny]

59. I didn't watch.

I have a serious problem watching * on tv. I cannot stand to see his face.

President Liar.

[spinbaby]

62. I'm with you

Can't stand to watch him. I saw a few minutes of the SOTU this morning--the shifty eyes, the flickering tongue, the sneering keeper sitting behind him...shudder.

[BiggJawn]

61. OSU flattened Purdue...Matt Painter's "debute"...

Gene has the Flu. The game was on at the laundromat. I'm SO glad we haven't gotten to the point where it is a capital offense not to listen to Il Douche...

Besides, I figured the soggy-crotch sisters, Mara and Cokie, would fill me in this AM...I was right....

[Cadfael]

63. Watched Project Runway on Bravo

not productive, but entertaining

[bitchkitty]

64. I got medicated and farted around on the computer.

I never watch chimpie by choice, unless it's the Daily Show making fun of him. If I'm channel surfing, nothing makes me click that button faster than the sight of his lying simian face.

[DebinTx]

65. The man makes my skin crawl

no kidding. Didn't watch a second of it.

[ProfessorGAC]

66. Why Would I Watch It?

First, i can get online and read it a minute after he's done, and i can get through it 5 times faster than listening to that piece of dirt talk.

Secondly, i think everyone who was paying attention already knew what was in the speech. So, watching it would have been copmletely useless.

Lastly, watching that idiot mug it up and the morons on the right side of the aisle applauding every other word would have made me ill.
The Professor

[Rush1184]

67. I was busy doing more productive things...

like smoking a bowl. I figured it was better than getting angry and yelling at the TV.

[BigMcLargehuge]

68. I watched the end of the Auschwitz series on PBS

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

69. Wake v. Duke

Grrrrrrrrrr!!!! :angry:


I checked out the SOTU during commercial breaks, but I stopped doing that when * talked about the Defense of Marriage Act :puke:

[Scout]

70. I saw snippets

I can only watch him for a little bit at a time ... I always want to slap the smirk off of his face, and I don't need to make myself feel like that!

[doctor klahn]

71. Well...

I wasnt going to watch it, but then I accidentally ingested poison, and since I needed to induce vomiting i threw it on...

WORKED WONDERS!!
