[More Than A Feeling]

1. Do these stories have a point anywhere?

Just askin'

[Sydnie]

3. Like Lite Beer - taste great but are just fillers.

[More Than A Feeling]

15. Speaking of beer...who else is partaking tonight?

[Sydnie]

41. I'm having Apricot Brandy and Hot Tea

trying to bring some civility to an otherwise "chimp slinging shit" experience. :)

[benny05]

He had to try to end on a positive note

since his poll numbers are below 30 percent.

[BR_Parkway]

7. wants to end on a high note

[LSK]

20. only in America BS, like they dont have heros in other countries

:eyes:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

34. He has to end with something he's guaranteed to get applause for.

[Yukari Yakumo]

2. "this is a decent and honorable country"

Unlike Bush.

[DixieBlue]

4. ah, ending with the state of our union is strong.

knew it was coming.

[The Witch]

33. damn, missed it, ran to the kitchen for blueberries...

Runnin' to the nearest toilet to puke.

[d_b]

61. delete

[Bill McBlueState]

6. "we've been through a lot together"

That douchebag doesn't know what it means to go through anything. Silver spoon and all that.

[Canuckistanian]

83. "we've been INSULATED from a lot together"

Clueless. Totally fucking clueless.

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. what a lame ass speech...and a lame ass ending

[notadmblnd]

9. That soldier should have never had to have been there

and he deserves the right to spit on bush.

[LSK]

[porphyrian]

50. Yeah, but you were watching her tits...

:evilgrin:

[caligirl]

51. what? did he reach for more than a handshake?

[porphyrian]

84. I think he went to hug her, she went to shake his hand, and he groped at her...

...it looked like he might've been grabbing for her tit.

[caligirl]

88. thanks. there is some good film footage overall for 2008 tonight.

[fishwax]

13. cut him some slack--he had a lot of heroes to introduce

[Lord Byron]

19. WTF was the point of the little anecdotes? Embarrassing as hell

This has no place in a SOTU address. Baby Einstein? What the hell?

[KatyaR]

39. So how much money did the "Baby Einstein" founder contribute

to Shrub's campaign to get such a plug?

These plugs were awful--they were nothing but advertisements.

[DireStrike]

40. It's like a poorly written elementary school graduation speech

[Bluerthanblue]

[The Witch]

37. You have to ask?

^_^

[More Than A Feeling]

24. Media is not impressed.

Matthews thought it wasn't a good speech or a bad speech.

[Straight Shooter]

26. It's over? Thank goodness. Now we can listen to a speech by a REAL man.

Bring it on, Senator Webb.

Just as the speech ended.

[MoonRiver]

30. THANK GOD!

It's over. Time for Keith and then Webb! :)

[Patchuli]

35. Hahahahaa! * promised (per NBC)

to give a "sober speech tonight!" What a great Freudian slip!!! LOLOL!! :rofl:

[trashcanistanista]

65. I caught that too -

said sober then somber. Not getting good reviews. Andrea Mitchell "somber" nightmare scenario - its already happening.

[Patchuli]

90. Oooops! I loved it!

And welcome to DU! :toast:

[Aviation Pro]

36. Well, that was a waste of 50 minutes of my time....

....phoned it in.

[More Than A Feeling]

43. 50 minutes of my life...gone

CBS is fawning over his speech, and I want to hurl.....profile in courage???? PLEASE!!!!!!!

[DireStrike]

46. that dadgum liberal media nt

[LSK]

47. CSPAN most likely

[Yukari Yakumo]

52. NBC seems to be... reserving it's judgement.

Or more like a mixed rating...

[Reverend_Smitty]

54. NBC is pretty much saying the oppisite, they weren't impressed

[trashcanistanista]

76. NBC sez they will carry Webb!

I think right away, after the break.

[rocktivity]

rocknation

[Tatiana]

45. Wonder what Bush and Jesse Jackson Jr. were talking about. n/t

[VP505]

48. he sure is

sucking up to the blacks, um, guess he think everyone forgot about NOLA.

[Straight Shooter]

49. Thanks, Viva. You've done it again! You've herded the Dems into organized threads.

:yourock:

[Kurovski]

79. Organa-what now?

[Straight Shooter]

86. LOL!

You got me :D

[KatyaR]

53. Someone needs to tell Malloy not to take breaks!

I can't stand listening to this crap without his commentary.

[dgauss]

55. Bush seems to be happy that he hardly

slurred more than he usually does.

[LSK]

57. hes signing stuff, get a bill in there without him knowing

[SemiCharmedQuark]

67. Reminds me of Hitler signing stuff in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

[Sydnie]

58. How stupid! Congress members wanting his autograph?

:puke:

[WinkyDink]

For constituent$.

[RepublicanElephant]

70. can you say "ebay"?

.

[VP505]

71. Maybe those are

acknowledgment of receiving subpoenas he is signing and doesn't know it

[BadgerKid]

73. He needs the special attention.

[Aviation Pro]

60. My analysis and prediction....

...that will be the last State of the Union given by George W. Bush.

[Kurovski]

82. Now that is one beautiful prediction.

[DAMANgoldberg]

62. Weak speech...

The ending was ???.

[d_b]

66. Stevens' Hulk tie is a no-show

[Yukari Yakumo]

[LSK]

72. DENNIS KUCINICH HAD SOME WORDS WITH HIM

He shook his hand and had some words with him for about 20 seconds.

[Yukari Yakumo]

75. Ah that why we haven't heard Webb yet.

We have to wait for Bush to leave. (And he finally did.)

[LSK]

78. CSPAN says response in 4 minutes

[eyesroll]

80. Hee. Anyone see Feingold roll his eyes after he shook hands?

It's subtle, but it's there.

[AnnieBW]

81. Loved How He Mentioned New Orleans!

NOT!!!

[mentalsolstice]

85. My tinfoil cap!

does anyone else sense that he's been superimposed? He has halos around him that suggest he's really not there...kinda like watching a car chase scene from the 60s or 70s.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

92. "HALOS" HELL!!! any shadow effect is more like this picture:

[Tom Joad]

93. Bush granted award for most ironic statement of the night...
