My predictions about the Bush "State of the Union " address were absolutely correct. As they say in Texas, "You don't have to be a cowboy to know BULLSHIT!". George's "dog & pony show" was carefully scripted with only ONE notable exception... when he mentioned his failure to "privatize" Social Security, many of his audience (led by the Democrats) cheered and applauded. He stood silent and "dumbfounded"... sort of like a "deer caught in headlights"; reminiscent of the response he gave when he heard about the 9-11 attacks. Republican strategists had carefully positioned people in the audience to provide "photo-ops". One such person was a female military veteran, who had been granted Congressional permission to be re-united with her "bomb-sniffing dog" after her injury and subsequent discharge.... Nothing is as "heart-wrenching" as a Veteran, unless it's a dog!! I wonder how these people feel about being "pimped" by the Bush administration??? In the previous "State of the Union address", cameras zoomed in on an Iraqi woman who hugged the mother of a G.I. who had died in battle. I guess they couldn't get a dog. Bush made a very odd statement to rally his "base"... some sort of insane rambling about making laws to prevent "cloning" and the "creation of animal/human clones"...... It is now evident that George Bush is a delusional moron!!! NO mention of the crippling deficit, NO mention of the record-low rates of "savings" by Americans, NO mention of the fact that Iraqi "reconstruction-projects" are now OUT OF MONEY!! Just more of the "S.O.S."....... At one point, a lady with a tee-shirt that read: "Support our Troops" was evicted from the halls of Congress.... accused of being a "Protestor"! Then Cindy Sheehan revealed HER tee-shirt, which displayed the "body-count" of American troops killed in Iraq. She was not only evicted, but arrested and handcuffed!! What ever happened to "Freedom-of Speech"??? The Bush "legacy" will soon be known as "The Fourth Reich"!!!Propaganda, covert-surveillance, "death-squads", bribery, colonialism, and torture...after all "If the president does it, it MUST be legal"??????Dave
