[rodeodance]

9. look who his audiance is.

[WhiteTara]

27. sorry, wasn't at the tv today

but found out later it was that group AIPAC that Franklin and (? can't remember his name) gave state secrets too. May they all rot in Jail!

[w8liftinglady]

7. I'm surprised it wasn't a kneeling ovation

[Skidmore]

5. AIPAC...our other cabinet office. Dick's holding a

staff meeting.

[TomInTib]

8. Playing nice to AIPAC, ain't he?....

I just turned the bastard down- I have only one teevee and I don't want to shoot it today.

17. Ol' Ariel can still get a hand...

talk about milking a dead horse (or something to that effect).

[tridim]

10. Did you hear his theme song?

The "have mores" just love their Mr. 18%.

[rodeodance]

[AllegroRondo]

[mediaman007]

28. that thought made me wonder why...

a young guy like kirby puckett who was so good to the "have nots" gets taken, then there is this guy who drags around his medivac with him. there can't really be a god because kirby would have lived to do more good, while dc* would have been taken long ago!

[stellanoir]

20. who could ???

his scowling continually out of one side of his mouth says it all.

a challenge. . .try to state one truism he has uttered in the last several years or for his entire life for that matter.

[graywarrior]

21. 18%

All 18% of his support is there.

What a dick.

[Kurovski]

22. Even the applause sounds dreary and monotonous.

You can hear the "applause starters" cue the numb-skulls in the audience.

So that schmuck is at what? 18% approval?

[rodeodance]

24. the problem is-we do not have marshall plan--only train up the Iraqi troop

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/07/AR2006030700739.html
Our great country, which over the decades has aided the rise of new democracies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, now serves that cause in the Middle East --- with courage, and firm purpose, and a level of generosity by the American people not seen since the Marshall Plan.

Five years ago, many would have found it hard to imagine that all these changes were on the way. And, obviously, they did not just happen. Because we've been willing to act on our convictions, we live in a better world today. We cannot know every turn that lies ahead in the fight against terror, and tyranny, and proliferation. Yet at every point, we will be patient and resolute --- because the supporters of democracy will need our help, and the enemies of democracy will test our will. And we will be confident, because events are moving in the direction of human liberty. Freedom's cause is the right cause, and every action we take in support of it makes this world better and safer for our children. (Applause.)

Once again, ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate your hospitality this morning. The President and I are grateful for your counsel, for your commitment to the security of our country, and for all you do on behalf of America's friendship with Israel.

Thank you very much. (Applause.)

25. two state, or one state-it did not phase him.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/07/AR2006030700739.html

....Nearly four years ago President Bush committed himself to the vision of two states, living side by side in peace and security. At the same time, he made it clear: There is simply no way to achieve that peace until all parties fight terror.
