I was neither disarmed nor deceived...
Not having had time to re-read President Nu-Cu-Ler's State of My Re-Election Speech, but having watched it and assorted punditry afterwards, here are some quick thoughts.
~Too close to Jesus and the Button:It is tradtion at the SOTU to have one member of the Cabinet not attend in case something awful happens like Spencer Abraham having cabbage and chili for lunch resulting in massive destruction, death, and misery much like Nagasaki, but with lots more lingering fallout. Anyway, the idea is the continuity of the current government in case a pack of howler monkeys can't be rounded up within a week or so. This years "designated Despot" was....John Ashcroft. If, prior to the SOTU, industrial engineers had placed small lumps of coal in the sphincters of half of America, we would currently be awash in diamonds at the idea of "I Can't Dance. Don't Ask Me" John sitting on the Boy Emperor's throne.
~Jenna Bush Two Whiskeys Two Bourbons, Not Just For Breakfast Anymore Award: If you and your roomates were doing shots whenever Verbal 566 said "Nook-yalur"...welcome back. It's Thursday.
~Smirk of the Night: Big suprise. It was Nancy Pelosi when Tax Cut for The Rich Boy mentioned the average amount that a taxpayer would save. Nice try. Now tell us how much we would save, not counting the top 1%.
~Monty Burn's "Exxxxxcelllennt" Award": Dick Cheney did an admirable job of not drooling oil into his neck folds while on camera. Also the Cheneymaster 3000™ Defibrillator and Bacon Fryer was kept out of camera range.
~No Gloves and No Love: The Democrats should have very warm hands tonight since they sat on them most of the night in obvious disagreement with a very partisan speech. Good for them. Meanwhile the Republicans were jumping up and down in their seats like pre-teens at a Shakira concert. Apparently they're crazy about the boy having not been confronted with so much testosterone since Ann Coulter mudwrestled Lynne Cheney at the last Heritage Foundation Husband and Trophy Wife Key Swap.
~Bess You is My Woman Now: Nice pander to African-Americans with the Africa AIDS proposal. I'm sure a little Federal money thrown at the right regimes should grease the skids for a few US corporations to start pillaging their natural resources in earnest. As for Affirmative Action...look we're giving money to Africa! High black unemployment...money for Africa! Racism...let's save the African AIDS victims. Civil War revisionists running the government.....why don't you all just go back to Africa?
~I Fought the Law and the Law Said They Would Look Into It with Indictments Just Around The Corner: "To insist on integrity in American business, we passed tough reforms, and we are holding corporate criminals to account" (insert laugh track here)
~Throw Momma from the Medicare: "Instead of bureaucrats and trial lawyers and HMOs, we must put doctors and nurses and patients back in charge of American medicine." .............(babble babble homily homily)......... "And just like you, the members of Congress, and your staffs and other federal employees, all seniors should have the choice of a health care plan that provides prescription drugs." And that health care plan will be administered by...an HMO. Has Bush even seen Memento?
~Liar, Liar. Forest on Fire:Clear Skies legislation and Healthy Forest initiative. Christy Whitman in a rare cameo appearance as "The Beard". Nobody bought it with Nicole Kidman why should we buy it with Friskin' Christy?
~Dude. Where's My OxyContin?: "Too many Americans in search of treatment cannot get it. So tonight I propose a new $600 million program to help an additional 300,000 Americans receive treatment over the next three years." Unless Noelle Bush has a relapse, in which case we'll have enough money left over to buy those other 299,999 tweakers a tube of Pringles and a ticket to Matrix: Reloaded. Whoa......
Finally..
~War. What Is It Good For? Absolute Manhood for Chickenhawks: We're going. Americans will die in Iraq and possibly at home in retaliation. The oil companies will get their oil after the US government (us) pays to restore the fields to workability. Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle will share a deep wet kiss...with lots of tongue. Michael Kelly will finally have an erection...his wife won't notice or care. Poppy Bush will finally be avenged, but not in time to stop his moral rot. And little George Walker Bush will get his first pubic hair.
Quick get a camera.....
