I swear they had electric cattle prods in the seats. No one hops out of their chairs more than the elected officials of our country, all clapping and crazy and shit. Looked like a gawd durned game show. Where the hell was Bob Barker?
Damn that video was funny.
What were everyone's impressions of the speech last night? My favorite part was when Bush said, “we did not ask congress to reform social security,” and the Democrats spontaneously stood and gave a standing ovation in the middle of his sentence.
It reminds me of last year’s SOTU when Bush said, “The Patriot Act is due to sunset this year,” and the Democrats erupted in applause.
Now, I will say this – the response by the VA governor was pathetic. It was incredibly vague, soft, and he looked like a jackass. Wow...Democrats looking like jackasses...what a concept.
Personally I didn't care for the Dems standing and applauding for the social security thing. I thought it was childish. Funny, but I don't think it was professional.
Dubya actually spoke pretty well.....for him (gramatically; content is a whole diff't story).
Being lectured by Bush about our dependence on oil in kind of like Ike Turner preaching about respect for women. It makes me want to fucking puke, especially with Halliburtoncheney in the background. I honestly don't know how these guys say some of these things with a straight face. Then again, they usually don't.....hence the constantly smug Cheney and Bush grins.
Yeah, I can see where you see how it's childish...the whole formality of it is a little much.
One thing I found very interesting (and for some reason this is the first year I noticed) is that the Supreme Court is VERY careful about what they can and can't applaud.
When the president makes a blanket statement such as, "I'm for a stronger American," they can cheer...but when he comments about policiy, or even a non-partisan issue that may one day come before the court - regardless of whether or not it's something the entire chamber is cheering - they sit very quietly, hands folded.
"One thing I found very interesting (and for some reason this is the first year I noticed) is that the Supreme Court is VERY careful about what they can and can't applaud."
Yeah but I still swear that I saw a coat hanger underneath Alito's robe.
