5. How will I watch? With my TV tuned to a different channel
Anything good on Discovery tonight? Does the SOTU preempt NOVA on PBS? Probably. Damn--I love that show.

6. The only way I would watch this is if...
I were strapped to a chair and my eyelids were forced open like the guy in Clockwork Orange.

8. Bush* Is Difficult To Understand. His MUSH-MOUTH Pronunciation...
and his habit of saying "sh" for "s" just drives me nuts.

"Weaponsh of mash dishtruction."

The man is a freakin' moron. An idiot barely capable of forming a complete thought on his own.

I cannot stand. The way he reads. In short bursts. Pausing every three. Or four words. He reads each new line. On the teleprompter. As though it. Were a complete. Sentence.

AHHHH! AHHH! Ahhhhh! AHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!
Shut up! Shut UP! SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!

He's a god damned fucking FREAK! An idiotic manchild FREAK!

-- Allen

(Thanks for listening.)

9. I'll watch with a barf bag close

11. I answered "under the covers" but not because of fear
I'm exhausted. My brain is on California time, but my body's back in Wisconsin. If I'm not out of the house for it, I'll be either on my couch half-asleep, or in bed, half-asleep.

12. Sorry ,just cannot watch !
Its terrible to dislike your President so much you cant stand listening to him at all. I was like this for 8 years of Regan, I would have thought after a President like Clinton ,we would never have a President as dumb as Regan again .Well guess what not only as dumb ,but dumber !

13. Strip SOTU with my husband.
We each have a strip-cue word and a kiss-cue word. When our strip word comes up we have to remove a piece of clothing, when the kiss word comes up we can make the other person give us a kiss where ever we want.

:evilgrin:

We just got done working out this years rules.

15. why watch?
I already know what's going to happen:

1. He'll strut to the podium;
2. He'll lie about Iraq and crow about our great 'victory' (without, of course, mentioning the dead and the maimed);
3. He'll make lots of exciting election-year promises that he has no intention of keeping;
4. He'll gloat, smirk, bare his teeth like a rat, and look superior while mispronouncing words, misplacing emphasis, and generally acting like he doesn't understand the text.
5. The media will praise the performance effusively, and tell the proles how "Churchillain" he was and what a strong war leader he is.

Given the above, there are about a million things to do tonight that would be more enjoyable, like sticking a ballpoint pen in my eye or huffing toxic cleaning fluids.
