State of the Union Address....

Yawn..... more of the same o' same o'. Everyone was smiling, shaking hands, applauding, and oh so civilized. I wanted to smack every Democrat that stood up and applauded during Bush's speech. We all know he is an idiot that has lied to us, wasted over 3,000 American lives and billions of dollars destroying Iraq. What in the hell was there to applaud about? I want passion from our House members, like the Korean politicians demonstrated recently!

I would have loved to have seen Nancy take her shoe off and wallop George on his empty addled head! But no, she sat there ladylike, smiled and applauded.

With new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) sitting behind him in a vivid sign of the power shift on Capitol Hill, Bush congratulated Democrats on their victory in the November elections and paid tribute to the first woman to serve in the nation's third-highest office. "Tonight, I have a high privilege and distinct honor of my own as the first president to begin the State of the Union message with these words: 'Madam Speaker,' " Bush said, then turned to shake Pelosi's hand as she beamed and lawmakers cheered.

Okay, I know it was an exciting moment for Pelosi, making history as the first woman Speaker. But once the applause for her was over, and as he rambled on, trying unsuccessfully to put a good spin on his failings and plans for more failings, she had many opportunities to bop him over the head with her shoe. He was sitting right in front of her! And she could have given Cheney a few smacks while she was at it.

Yes, we need some of that Korean political enthusiasm and passion...

Peace-
