Madam Speaker

Yah, so how cool was that: President Bush addressing the Dem's leader as Madam Speaker for the first time in our country's history! But after that, the elation was gone. After all, it is a sweet thing to know that everyone's against him; even his own party. But then the reality sets in. The guy's giving his seventh (7th) and quite possibly his all-time worst State of the Union address. What might have been worse: his poll numbers, also at an all-time low. Even lower than Clinton after he received articles of impeachment. Dude, that takes some serious effort. This from a guy who tries very little to do much of anything. Says it's such an honor to say Madam Speaker, but shows no respect for women. Says he wants to win the war on terror, but then heedlessly moves forward in a war that causes more havoc and death. He said a lot of things and sounded, oh god, this is going to look bad: Schwarzenegger-esque. Health care for all. Get off our oil addiction with alternate fuels. Al Gore, anyone? Jim Webb's rebuttal had me riveted. Really. I never look forward to the Dem's address. Always so wooden. Boring. Pathetic. Loserish. But not tonight. Bush was the Big L.
