Early thread on State of the Union address

DuncanK · January 28, 2003, 16:18

The State of the Union address in tonight in the US. Bush is not suppose to give evidence of Iraq connection to al Qaeda, but Powell is suppose to after the address.

What will the evidence be? Will it be enough to unite the world behind the administration on the war?

Doubt it.

When is the address? 9pm Eastern?

I hope Comedy Central does a play-by-play parody of the address. I'm sure Bush will talk about getting his "help the rich" 'stimulus' package passed. He'll probably indirectly blame the democrats for their objection to it. I've heard he won't talk about Iraq, but I don't know what he will be talking about without Iraq. Maybe Homeland Security.... I dunno, because his domestic agenda is crap!

Predictions:

No one will understand what Bush say, but there will be a lot of applauding and a lot of booing.

Bush will say chicken and Iraq in the same sentence, but not correlate the two.

Bush will hold up his thumb the entire speech.

Cheney will fall asleep.

Some guy standing behind the president will stare into the camera the entire time.

Bush will use the word dictatorship, and start to laugh halfway through the word.

All the women will be wearing red, except for one or two really ugly ones.

We will make a lot of people angry.

Then... Powell will display the cloaking shield that we have been using to spy on Saddam, and he will reveal that Saddam is in fact an Alien!!! He will be hailed a god by some French cult who will immediatly clone him and have a fashion show. Saddam will be so disgusted by these people that he will run away, never to be seen again... Speculation will arise that he is hangin' with his bro Osama.

you forgot one thing... Cheney will have his umpteenth heart-attack during the process... Rumsfeld will smack him on the back and he'll come to

Then Condaleeza and Colin will rip off their masks and reveal that they are secretly the Osmonds.

SHAAAAAAAAAAAARON!!!!!!!

EDIT: Or, more accurately, Bush's reaction would most likely be "LAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURA!!!!!!"

Sava · January 28, 2003, 18:52

It'd be hilarious if then Bush woke up and found himself sleeping with Barry Williams (Brady Dad)...

Sava, you've just scarred my mind for life with that image.

my work here is complete

That was good, and pretty dog gone accurate if I do say so...

Alexander's Horse · January 28, 2003, 20:32

I can't decide if Bush will use the word "freedom" 57 or 58 times.

ixnay · January 28, 2003, 22:00

Oh boy, here it comes. Oh and here's a link to the State of the Union Drinking Game

Dis · January 28, 2003, 22:09

It's on right now. I don't feel like listening to all that bullshilt. Too much bullshit causes my head to explode.

I'll get the jist of it later.

David Floyd · January 28, 2003, 22:12

Well, so far I'm with him on taxes, but not with him on his lines about "defense".

raghar · January 28, 2003, 22:16

I can't sleep. I see Bush on TV. He speaks in short sentences. There is lots of flaping hands afterwartd. I need sleep at least a little, but It seems I would have nightmare. I possibly have, then again I haven't.

Bush: Double taxation... flapping ...more taxproducts... Washington DC flaping long...
HIS SPEECH WAS CLEARLY PREPARED BY SOMEONE ELSE. He is educated, why he doesn't did it by himself?
Poor Yanks, they must see this type of ... every day and sometime twice per day.

I would go to sleep with words of Bush in my ears.

See ya at Friday.

Thanks for the info, Mr. Obvious.

ACK!

orange · January 28, 2003, 22:30

here's the compassionate side of his conservatism that's been absent for 2 years....let's hope he can keep to it

SerapisIV · January 28, 2003, 22:30

Bush requested funding for Hydrogen-Oxygen cars so that a child born today could drive a "pollution-free" when he gets his license.

What idiot cut-and-pasted the science for that line?

Hydrogen cars use atmospheric air just like current automobiles. Using hydrogen means hotter-running engines in a 78% nitrogen atmosphere...That means a buttload of NOx. NOx is one of the worst pollutants.

True hydrogen cars would be cleaner, no CO2, CO, soot, but "pullution-free"?

orange · January 28, 2003, 22:30

well, except the war and defense part

David Floyd · January 28, 2003, 22:40

Damn, this speech is 95% crap...only decent part so far has been tax cuts, eliminating marriage penalty, capital gains, etc.

"Freedom and security of the American people" what a hoot
