Live blogging SOTU –
Hinderacker style!
"There's no time for fact checking when you're writing for a blog. It's all about speed." – Lawyer, craven opportunist, and journalism pioneer John Hinderacker of Powerline blog.
We join the state of the union live as Speaker Dennis Hastert gavels the proceeding to order, which is a signal for everyone to start clapping and yelling. Except for the Democrats.
Bush speaks of the privilege of being placed in office by the people he serves, then draws a parallel to the voters of Iraq and Pakistan, two red states with a combined electoral vote of 15, or one vote for every 100 young man and woman killed in action. "What will be the state of their union?" asks the President.
"Since I have done such a great job with the economy over the last four years, by cutting taxes, creating 2.3 million jobs, and raising homos, I mean, home ownership to an all time level, I have a man-date to make our economy stronger and more dynamic."
"We must demand more from our high schools, so that every high school diploma is a ticket to success, further strengthening the growing creation science sector."
"We must make health care more affordable, and work to bring down the cost of artificial limbs so all of our brave military men and women will have a leg to stand on."
"Nearly four years ago I submitted a comprehensive energy strategy. Four years is long enough. I urge congress to pass legislation that will make the US more secure and energy sufficient, so that we won't have to invade any more countries."
"Social security is a great moral promise that we must keep. But it is headed for bankruptcy in 2042. I know that seems like a far way off, and frankly, future President Jenna is too busy shaking her moneymaker in seedy Georgetown bars to give it much thought. So it's up to us."
"I support a constitutional amendment to protect the sacred institution of marriage from homeownership, I mean, homos."
"I will work with congress to make sure human embryos are not bought or sold, and will preserve their right to vote in Florida and Ohio."
"Since Sept. 11, 2001, we've taken unprecedented action to protect our homeland. We've cooked up phony allegations against a decrepid middle east dictator who had nothing to do with the terrorist attack, and then demonized political opponents who dared to question our competence. We've confused and scared the American people with phony figures and idiotic double talk. We've killed or captured one our of every three al Qaeda executives, and half of the middle managers listed in the al Qaeda annual report. And we've confirmed the worst fears of a majority of the world's muslims by using torture, just like the tinpot dictators that we purport to replace."
"I am sending my recently confirmed Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice to Israel, where she will further embarrass herself with a haircut that makes her look like Don King and Doris Day's love child."
"And I say to the rest of the world tonight, as you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you. Unless your country has oil."
"Our brave men and women are fighting terrorists in Iraq, so we aren't deterred from fighting the real enemy here at home - homos."
"And finally, I just want to say that Republicans are no more competent at foreign policy than Democrats. We're just better at making 51 percent of likely voters believe that we are. And we clap really loud. That's important, too."
