IS THERE ANYTHING MORE ANNOYING THAN THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
"My dog Spot can fart on command," intoned President Bush during the SOTU speech last night and all 535 Representatives and Senators leapt to their feet with a thunderous ovation that lasted for 10 minutes. Well that did not really happen but it might as well. Is there anything more phony than watching Nancy, Dick, Harry and Hillary clapping wildly for a man they clearly despise. All the while the Prez blows them kisses from the podium as if he likes them back.
Of course, I'm in a really cynical mood right now and would not be impressed by these expressions of "unity" even if W and the Hildabeast began making out in front of the entire nation. Who would catch what? Film at 11.
I say they lock them all in there together and host a Survivor: Washington DC series. Would Barak turn to cannibalism? What would Teddy do to get some booze into the place? I'm trying to think up something for an interesting Republican Senator to do but then there are NO interesting Republican Senators are there? My money is on Dick Cheney because he has already shot people in the not so distant past. For God's sake let's hope they all remain fully clothed. Don't need to see any filibusters hanging out now do we.
Oh, and for all in the blogosphere including myself who are using the pretentious acronym SOTU for the speech, we all deserve what we get. Two years of torture while about half these inane, unimpressive jerks try to sell us on why they should be the next one to give a SOTU speech.
In the meantime I shall sit here an look at my Reagan calendar and reminisce.
