***OFFICIAL BITTER AND CYNICAL SOTU THREAD***

[Up2Late]

Let's try to keep it civil, but if you are as bitter and cynical as I am, this is the place to be.:grr:

[Seen the light]

1. Watching this BS intro makes me ashamed to be an American nt

[natrat]

4. i cant watch it --too heartbreaking

[KoKo]

49. Good for YOU! No reason to cause oneself Pain and Sickness

over this FIASCO!

[The Blue Flower]

5. I just can't fathom what the cheering is for

n/t

[Gman]

22. They applaud every second or third sentence

[Canuckistanian]

56. The applauders are paid per clap

Sophisticated "clap monitors" are used to count the number of claps/seat space.

Interestingly, Joe Lieberman gets a flat rate for the whole speech.

[Gman]

64. I'm surprised Lieberman agreed to it

he lost a lot of money! Probably the last best offer he was going to get!

[KoKo]

39. I just turned it off...seeing so much applause for him made me so sick

I was cursing and ready to throw pots through my TV Screen..(I was in my kitchen).

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Up2Late]

48. You're not missing much...

...the lies are just getting faster and more evil.

[citygal]

2. I thought when * got ready to walk the aisle...

he looked scared. How does it feel to know everyone hates you????

[Up2Late]

7. LOL!

Hey, no fair making me laugh like that...:rofl:

Oh man, back to pukes-vill. :puke:

[Tellurian]

3. Bush looks Bushed..

pursed lips...looks uptight!

[Olney Blue]

6. WTF? Bush sounds drunk as a skunk.

[MichiganVote]

8. So, what's this year's bullshit and how much is it going to cost us now?

[Richard Steele]

9. I've decided to cut out the middleman.

Instead of watching the compendium of standardized asshattery
and playing the drinking game, I'm just drinking.

Watching B*sh could be hazardous to my TV's health.
And my screaming scares the cats.

[citygal]

15. No other way to survive this mass of BS.

My cat has become accustomed to the screaming...as has my spouse. That's what six years will do!

[Richard Steele]

76. I caved (kinda). I watched via WWW for two minutes cuz I had....

...an idea that I needed a screencap to bring to fruition.

Pelosi's expression wasn't QUITE what I had in mind,
but I just couldn't stand to watch any longer, so I
went with what I had:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

[Tellurian]

[KoKo]

45. It's our WHORE PAID FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS APPLAUDING THE AH!

[Casablanca]

34. Ted Kennedy's looks like he's got a migraine.

Or maybe he just can't stand to look at the Frat Boy.

[Tellurian]

33. When did a Republican ever care about the poor and insurance?

[Up2Late]

35. Oh God! Puppet Boy has a new catch phrase!

"Junk Lawsuits" Bleeeeeeaaaa!

[Tellurian]

37. What did he say? We've got to restore the old Melting Pot?!?

Tell me he didn't just say that! :mad:

[Porcupine]

Could the Democrats just stay in thiier F@#$% SEATS!!

Standing up for that asshole. What the hell did they think we voted for?

[KoKo]

41. It's that "Bi-Partisan Thingy." Pelosi isn't doing it but many Dems

are supporting that ASSHOLE by standing up and applauding...It's DISGUSTING!!!!

[Casablanca]

38. Dis-ris-ruptions?

Ok, how many shots did he have before the speech?

[Casablanca]

40. That smug little smirk Cheney's been showing every time Jr. says something that sounds populist.

Says more than words.

[KoKo]

[Tellurian]

53. None of the Dems should stand up on that one..

[Up2Late]

54. Oh, now he's pretending to care about the bombing of "The Golden Mosque"...

...and thinks we'll believe he cares for other than selfish reasons. :grr: :nuke:

[librechik]

58. spreading the lie that sectarian violence began then

since he should have known long before that

BULLSHIT!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

68. Indeed, that person would be a HERO across America.

Or perhaps Dr. Dean should issue just a single word statement tomorrow: "Bullshit."

We all know it, why doesn't someone in DC just come right out and say it?

[Up2Late]

70. LOL! That would be great!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

72. what if someone is so bitter and cynical that they don't even watch the chimp...

stutter through the speech in his usual moronic manner... can we post here too?

[Up2Late]

73. Suuuuuuuure! You're not the only one in that camp.

At least you don't have the headache and sick to my stomach feeling like I have now, after subjecting myself to that BS.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

74. here, take these two pictures, go to bed and call me in the morning...

Do you have medical insurance, unlike millions of Americans, or will this be cash?

[Gloria]

75. I spent the time investigating seed sprouters and watching
