As they said in the old Almond Joy commercial

"Indescribably delicious!!!"

Wasn't that sweet!?!

They thought they were so funny and so alpha to throw that applause snark at him and he just walked all over it. Their cheers got stuck in their damn throats!

Most interesting reading!

Thanks for posting. Tons of stuff here for my quotes collection!

Love that line about man being a beast that's condemned to be more than a beast.

The Rude One again speaks for me!

I LOVED that moment "I know because I won both of them! Stood up and fist-bumped at that one, I did! You tell 'em, PRESIDENT Obama! The rumors of your demise they've been trying so hard to spread are VERY much non-existent. And he shoved that in their faces again.

I loved that Rude bit "no, YOU can blow ME, GOP!" DNC should send around some pairs of those "presidential knee pads" we heard about toward the end of Bill Clinton's 2nd term. If I were DNC chair I'd be sorely tempted to do exactly that.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Sometimes he looked like he was having gas problems. Other times he looked either bored out of his mind or pouting because it wasn't HIS guy up there delivering the SOTU. Half the time he looked like he was pouting.

And he had his ridiculous dark orange tan on, also. What a cartoon. Reminded me of endless glances I've had of little boys at school who make it VERY clear they don't want to wear that stupid suit and tie and they'd much rather be out playing or riding their bikes.

Spoiled brat.

Sore loser.

Piss-ant.

Or yeah, maybe a bit tipsy. Or hung over?

Isn't he the one who was either too stupid or lazy or arrogant

to MAKE SURE the Presidential Oath of Office was administered correctly?

Had TWO months after Barack Obama won that historic first term on the First Tuesday in November, 2008, til Inauguration Day the following January 20th to memorize those 38-or-so words of the Presidential Oath of Office? He didn't have a bathroom mirror to practice to? He had NO time - with two months advance notice? He didn't do any rehearsals? He had no cue cards or 3x5 cards or cheat-sheets? He had no pen or pencil to make notes for that day? No pockets in which to tuck a frickin' post-it with his lines on it? Hell, sarah palin managed to use the palm of her hand, at least...

Nope. I'm not EVER gonna let that go. Every time that idiot's name comes up and I'm in a position to do so, I'm damn well gonna remind about that. At EVERY possible opportunity. I don't want anybody ever to forget how deeply and astoundingly stupid he is. You have to be that stupid to fuck up on this particular part of YOUR JOB as Chief Justice. The Chief Justice is the one who gets to swear in the President. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT, and this Chief Justice certainly should have. No other explanation, and don't tell me stage fright. He's too old and has been a key part of too many large public events to fuck that one up. NO excuses are possible or acceptable!

It took, what? FOUR of them to try to rebut him?

Your gang-bang went Pffffffffftttt, you thoughtless selfish greedy assholes!

I hope most of America who bothered to stay tuned after the headliner spoke saw through that.

There was such baldly obvious trickery to try to bait and switch.

Bring out the pretty farm girl with the pretty oval face and pretty smile with all those pretty teeth in it, and listen to her soothing voice! Notice her harmless "mom" hairstyle that framed that pretty face. Get soothed and lulled and thrown off-guard by that nice soft warm mellow gentle voice that didn't screech at you like sarah palin's does. And the nice warm mellow gentle platitudes - no government spending and we'll all have rainbows and candy and pretty-looking pie-in-the-sky and cake-all-day-that-doesn't-even-make-you-fat! Aw, look how she ever so slightly cocks her head. Look how she ever so gently takes on the predictable and ever-so-slight frown of DEEEEEEEP concern, with the adorable little traces of furrows in her pretty-but-now-worried brow when she spoke of subjects she wanted to portray as baaaaad. Democrat and liberal and baaaaaaad!

This isn't Story Time and you're NOT the Storybook Lady, Miss Countess of Pig Castration.

Notice her "devices." Notice that VERY well-practiced "sweet harmless disarming smile." Looks like she wouldn't hurt a flea, doesn't she? Meanwhile she wants to impeach our President and take away YOUR health care that the aforementioned President and those dreadful mean ol' Democrats changes so you could finally AFFORD to have that health care. This ain't no sweet-voiced Storybook Lady. This is a Queen-of-Wasps (Hmmmm... in more than one way, actually), Madame Scorpion. Just another scheming, selfish, cold-hearted republi-CON meanie who wants to pass whatever help you need up to the super-rich who fill her campaign coffers and need NO help whatsoever. She's another bait-n-switcher. Hiding behind that pretty face and that nice warm ever-present smile. Remember how she smiled in that campaign commercial where she spoke proudly and so charmingly about castrating pigs, with that big purty smile?

When I saw that campaign commercial, it gave me chills. This is how they THINK they're gonna appeal to women, and APPEAR more female-friendly. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!!! DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDS BE FOOLED EITHER!!!!!

I knew she was gonna be trouble. Trouble packaged in that nice surface-treatment. That pretty face and that pretty smile, which distracts you from realizing the hideously ugly and harmful policies. She's Snow White -- DELIVERING the poisoned apple, that she herself dipped in that smoking, bubbling witch's cauldron she keeps hidden behind closed doors so all you see are the birdies and the bunnies and the pretty little fawns. She and her trolls are just hoping you won't notice. Because you'll be fixated on the pretty face and that nice warm soothing voice speaking sweet nothings through your TV screen into your living room. With that mighty pretty smile.

DO IT!!!!!

No kidding...

I think it's also a subtle dig at Barack Obama also. After all, the President is Harvard-educated.

And it's been a long time since anybody remembered the finer points of JFK's background. Now, notice, he didn't say "Yale" because while Bill Clinton went there george w. idiot went there, too, on the string-pulling fellowship.

Huckabooboo also forgets the "bubba" "educational" possibilities that are presented at such "sterling" institutions as Bob Jones "University," pat robertson's Regent "University," jerry falwell's Liberty "University," and other borderline fraudulent operations. It was Monica Goodling and other hot young Turks and Turkettes who came out of the "law schools" at THOSE outfits who got stovepiped directly into the bush/cheney "Justice" Department, and were vetting and filtering US attorney candidates according to their political leanings - and other filters that were forbidden by law. She had to testify about that in Congress and admitted that in her involvement in those agenda-driven activities - saying "I crossed the line". All these fire-breathing true-believers like her learned their "law degrees" through the Christian-extremist filtration curriculum that's force-fed to students in those "universities".

I'm putting a lot of these words in quotes because the use of them in this context requires a companion reaction of "yeah, my ass."
