Biggest, most laughable lie of last night's speech:

[Berry Cool]

"Free people are not drawn to violent and malignant ideologies."

Even as he said it, I was thinking "Oh really? That so? Then how do you explain your administration's policy for the past six years?"

[Sherman A1]

1. Agreed and Well Said.

Nothing much I can add to that... You Said it Right!

[zeemike]

2. What I get from that is

He is saying that we are not free. He may actually be telling the truth if his Theseus is correct.

[Demeter]

3. Those That Support Bush Aren't Free; And By Their Own Hand!

They have enslaved themselves to lies and liars. They like being told lies. They like being told what to think. It is appalling, but verifiable. As long as they think someone else is suffering more, they are satisfied. But if they think someone is better off, or happier, out come the guns, insults and lynchers.

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. That one's right up there

with keeping the Korean peninsular nuke free. I almost broke the TV for that one.

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. Me too! Peninsular? WTF is a Peninsular???

:nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke: He's so embarrassing and I'm REALLY, REALLY sick of being embarrassed by him!

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. It was the nuclear free part that got me

Hasn't he noticed that NK already has nukes, thanks to him and his failed policies of not negotiating with anybody?

[soothsayer]

9. i hear "pah-NINCH-shu-lah"

[HughBeaumont]

7. Really? I thought it was the 2-hour part after . . .

"Madam Speaker, Vice President Cheney, Members of Congress, distinguished guests and fellow citizens:"

[momster]

8. When he got going on SS and Medicare

"Yet we are failing in that duty — and this failure will one day leave our children with three bad options: huge tax increases, huge deficits, or huge and immediate cuts in benefits. Everyone in this Chamber knows this to be true — yet somehow we have not found it in ourselves to act. So let us work together and do it now. With enough good sense and good will, you and I can fix Medicare and Medicaid — and save Social Security."

You've had 6 yrs with a compliant Congress, you meathead! Did you ever, ever lead that group toward this sterling goal? Let me think...nope, no and uh-uh. But you go right ahead and try it now. You think 28% is bad. Mess with Social Security again, buster, and watch your numbers drop to 12%.

[formercia]

10. Classic perception management

I think Psychologists have a term for such behavior.

[mtnester]

11. I thought it was a gloss over of ...

"With this reform, more than 100 million men, women, and children who are now covered by employer-provided insurance will benefit from lower tax bills"

He said it quick, and it made ZERO sense. Now, I know they want to TAX those folks who get insurance as part of their employment, so I am extremely puzzled by that sentence...it was like a last minute "quick, take this part about taxing them out, and put something in that fools them" kind of thing.

My husband and I watched mostly for that particular portion of his speech..and we looked at each other and went "What? What is he up to with that nonsense statement?"


The other was:

"Al Qaeda and its followers are Sunni extremists..."huh?
"Radical Shia elements, some of whom receive support from Iran..." yeah, of course Iran
"We could expect an epic battle between Shia extremists backed by Iran, and Sunni extremists aided by al Qaeda and supporters of the old regime." I SAID I heard you try and start something with Iran
"Hezbollah terrorists, with support from Syria and Iran..." so, it is mostly Iran, but Syria occasionally

I was stunned he only mentioned Syria twice, while he mentioned Iran five times, never mentioned NORTH Korea by name, not a peep about Darfur, Somalia, and not a single, solitary WORD about New Orleans, Mississippi, Louisiana, or any of the areas that were in Katrina's path (that was not only a crime of omission, but an outright crime to NOT say a word)

I better stop, cause I could go ON and ON, this is simply the top of the iceberg, peeking out.

One last word...for the one hundred thousand and one time...the word is pronounced NEWK-LEE-ER, NOT NEWK-U-LAR

[YOY]

12. "NEWK-U-LAR"...that word sums up his entire adminstration's learning process metaphorically

You know folks have corrected him in private, but whether it be Karl's genious stratergy or mayhaps he truly is the biggest idiot ever to grace the WH. But his constant mistaken pronunciation of that word...it's a metaphor.

He keeps making the same mistake...perhaps if only to insist that he is not making a mistake.
