SOTU STFU

Anyone else catch the State of the Union? I had told myself I wasn't going to watch, but then it was on right after American Idol, so I couldn't help myself.
After watching (and groaning) for about 30 minutes, I wondered...would I have the same reaction if the same exact speach was given by a known democrat? Probably not. Bush definitely needs to learn how wipe that smirk off his face. He obviously did it when he reached issues that he knew piss off the democrats.
There were a couple of scarey moments.
"For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible, and no one can now doubt the word of America."
If you think about it, that is some scarey crap right there. He's basically saying to follow what we tell you to do, or we'll blow the crap out of your country. He's saying that our will is unstoppable. If we decide you're evil, and you aren't listening to what we're telling you, we'll blow the s**t out of you. And you better beleive it because we already did it in Iraq.
"America is committed to keeping the world's most dangerous weapons out of the hands of the most dangerous regimes."
And what country (who has the worlds largest arsenal) lauched a war against another country with zero weapons of mass destruction? Hmmm...
There's so much more there. I did enjoy the shots of Kennedy rolling his eyes and head in disgust. I'm glad the Dems actually booed him at the point of the Patriot Act (unforunately, all the jerk did was smirk even harder. Jerk. )
Everything this administration does is only done if it is advantageous politically. Rove knows that this will be a tough race, and he's getting the president to do everything possible to get votes. Even if that means turning his back on other conservatives and offering amnesty. Bullshit that its not amnesty. What a f##knut thinking its not. (Well, I know he knows it is, but he has to say its not to win over some of the rightwingers)
There's so much more to rant about, but I'm spent at the moment.
