You know who I fucking hate?

Bush.
I know, I’m just full of surprises, aren’t I?
Take the unimpressed face of Barack Obama, multiply it by the unimpressed face of Hillary Clinton and throw in a pinch of the unimpressed faces of Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi, and you’ll get an idea of what my unimpressed face looks like right about now.
Also, can someone please get the Democrats some super glue to help them keep their asses in their damn seats? Christ.

Clinton’s eye rolls gave me a bit of a laugh, though.
My favorite moment was when Bush kept talking about how we need to trust patients and doctors to make their own decisions regarding health care. The hypocrisy amazes me.
Oh my god, Tali, that was the point at which I fucking LOST IT and started screaming at the television. After the expletives were finished, I started just adding “unless you’re having an abortion” to all of his sentences. Though I suppose I also could have added “unless you want affordable birth control” and “unless you’re poor.”
Clinton’s eye rolls were funny, but Obama had me cracking up at one point. I don’t even remember what he was talking about at the time, but Obama was just staring at Bush in disbelief, fury and with what appeared to be a very strong desire to smack him upside the head. I knew what he was going through.
“how we need to trust patients and doctors to make their own decisions regarding health care.”
Well, he simply forgot to add *male* doctors and *male* patients. YOu know, because women don’t have that same right, not having teeny weenies and all.
i am sorry i missed it…
but from what i read it didn’t stop there…oh no…
but what do i expect…what’s the official countdown now?
My parents and I watched the whole thing, although I don’t remember any eyerolls or Obama shooting steam out of his ears – which channel did you watch it on? We watched MSNBC. It’s possible that another channel cut away at different times, but it’s also possible that we missed those moments because we were wincing or burying our heads in our hands at the time. After it was over my conservative little brother emerged from his room and my Mom asked what he thought about it. (He wanted to vote for Fred Thompson – shudder.) He responded sarcastically “Coke can do some wonderful things to the brain.” Then he headed back to his room calling out over his shoulder “The Democratic response is putting me to sleep!” (You know, lest we think he agrees with us on anything.)
I had some sort of petit mal seizure during the ‘decisions should be made by doctors’ nonsense. And he said it more than once, didn’t he? I think the second time I had a sudden case of Tourettes. I was completely shocked. WHAT PLANET IS THIS GUY ON? Nothing he said seemed to be based in reality! (Reality has a well-known liberal bias, as Stephen Colbert has pointed out.)
My parents and I clapped heartily at the end however, because we knew we’d never have to sit through one of these again.
I’m pretty sure that it was ABC. Brian Williams and Tim Russert were crapping on . . . that’s ABC, right?
Williams and Russert showed up on MSNBC at some point, but mostly it was Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. (I watch it for the Olbermann.) It’s a cable news channel, although I would’ve imagined they use the same cameras for regular NBC, but I could be wrong. You were probably watching NBC.
Eh, they’re kind of all the same. Since the state of the union ends up on every fucking channel, I just flipped through the network stations until I found one that wasn’t Fox. That’s kind of as good as you’re going to do.
Though actually, I do also do my best to avoid Chris Matthews like the plague. I hate Time Russert’s slimy guts, too, but not quite as much. Brian Williams just bores me. The only news person I like is Anderson Cooper, unless you count Stewart and Colbert . . . which, seeing the way that the media is headed lately, we probably should be.
Not a Wolf Blitzer fan?
Makes me pretty damn glad I didn’t watch that propaganda Bush spewed out.
oh god woman, i can’t even tolerate the sound of his voice anymore! i used to watch the SOTU religiously, but by about 2005 i just couldn’t take it anymore. even here in DC, just about the only place the bars would be jumping on a monday night for a political speech, i just couldn’t bring myself to watch.
next year, though, i hope i hope i hope i will want to.
