I just can't bring myself to watch the State of the Union address tomorrow

[caty]

Hearing more lies.

Seeing that arrogant smirk.

Listening to him fumble for words to back up his mistakes.

:mad: :puke: :wtf: :argh: :grr: :thumbsdown: :banghead:

[medeak]

1. talking about freedom for Iran

blech.

[zippy890]

2. listen to it this way

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/01/27/preview-thinkprogress-state-of-the-union-extravaganza/

on air america - mystery science theate without the robots

they've got a good lineup of commentators

[SeattleGirl]

6. That's the ONLY way I could listen to it.

I listened last year when Sam and Jeanene were doing commentary in real time during the speech. Somoe of their comments were hysterically funny, and other times they immediately jumped on the lies coming out of Smirky's mouth. Made it tolerable to listen to.

[no name no slogan]

3. I never watch 'em

because they're 98% bullshit anyway. I read the transcript the next day.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

4. he seems to stutter and stammer a lot these days

It might be funny, especially if they try turning the trained chimp into a camel again... hell, all they need are clowns.

[Redstone]

5. I never watch that asshole give a speech.

It would make me vomit.

Redstone

[Jeffersons Ghost]

7. i can't make it through the whole thing... hell I've seen great circuses

This amateur dog and pony show is on the skids and it's like I have a sickly morbid curiosity like slowing down to look at a bad wreak.

[Gatchaman]

8. I've never watched the SOTU

even when Clinton was president. I just never saw the point. Even though it's constitutionally mandated, it's basically just a commercial for how great your government is doing.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. SO true...

:D

[LeftyMom]

9. That idiot is always insufferable

Surely you have better things to do with your time. Shampoo your hair, mate socks, something important like that. It's better for your blood pressure.

[deadparrot]

10. I'm watching it with the College Dems.

So it won't be too painful for me. :)

[WindRavenX]

11. my friends and i plan to watch

With lots of, um, "snacks" :smoke:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. The part that galls me the most

is all the asspoles who applaud every time * strings together three words in the right order without blowing up the building. I could almost stomach the cavalcade of lies if I didn't have to also listen to people acting like he said something that wouldn't make all rational humans do the bullshit cough.

Anyway, I'm afraid the neighbors might call the cops if they hear me hollering "FUCK YOU, YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT!" over and over one more time.

[Robb]

14. Hell

...it is pretty amazing when he strings together three words in the right order without blowing up the building.

Ah, the miracle of low expectations. :eyes:

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. And some blowholes think it's important

to count the number of ovations. :eyes:

I swear to Dog, he could recycle his vittles all over the dais, and every wingnut vegetable-banger in the place would holler "Bravo!"

[HuskerDU]

15. My g/f won't let me watch *. Not that I want to anyway,

but she knows that I will get very angry and probably yell. This scares our 3 little furries and we can't have that!

[AndyA]

16. I get so angry

Watching this smug, arrogant, lying, hypocritical, corrupt person we have as president. The facial twitches, lip licking, and jaw snaps make it worse.

Then there are the mispronounced words...the broken sentences...

But what really takes me over the edge is when he wiggles his eyebrows around. ARGH!

I will be in a bad mood for days, but I want to know what the POS says. And I want the Democrats to call him a liar in their response, but I hear we have a lightweight doing the deed, and after today's showing I have little confidence that the Dems know what they really need to do.

[caty]

25. Welcome to DU!

I'm watching "Supernatural" instead. At least it's fairly entertaining fiction, which is more than I can say for bush.

[Floogeldy]

17. I can't stand to see him.

It's even worse when he opens his shit hole. I will not be watching.

[CatholicEdHead]

19. So, is there a link for a 2006 version of the SOTU drinking game?

[LeftyMom]

21. But of course

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. A new TV isn't in my budget right now.

The one I have might not survive the evening (or at least it might end up all covered with food), and I don't want to scare the cats with all that yelling and the flying objects bouncing off of or breaking the TV. And fortunately I don't have a parrot -- it would spend the rest of its life squawking things like "Bite me! Fuckknob! Asswipe!" And then I'd never be able to have guests.

[pro_blue_guy]

22. I change the channel now, everytime I see Bush.

So I won't be watching the State of the Union address; besides, I already know what kind of state we are in.

[caty]

24. I do too!

Welcome to DU~!

[zone]

23. I think the Simpsons is on...

...Doh! (same difference)

[specimenfred1984]

26. They'll Be Stealing Healthcare

and calling it "you doing what you want to with your money".

Tomorrow represents a major turning point in American history, from democracy to fascism. I'm not going to watch that crap either.

[rickrok66]

27. If you can - watch / listen to it this way

Log in to the internet...Open internet explorer and go to DU...then open another and listen to Air America Live... Last year, Janeane Garofalo gave play by play commentary and almost lost it when the Dems stated booing. You can hear the speech with the Air America commentary. If your TV is in the same room, turn it on and place it on mute. I hope AAR is doing the same thing again this year.

After the speech, come back to DU and check the activist forum for any links to media to vote in online polls throughout the nation.

[carpetbagger]

28. Here's some of your alternatives...9PM ET

UPN- Veronica Mars rerun
WB- Supernatural
Univision- Alborada (TV guide says "En esta novela...dos hombres se enamoran de la misma mujer", sounds like typical fare)
A&E- Dog the Bounty Hunter (hey, at least the criminals get caught)
Animal Planet- Top ten grumpy animals
FMC- Big Trouble in Little China (starts at 8)
ESPN- Georgetown vs. Depaul (starts 830)
HBO- Oceans Twelve (starts at 8)
TV Land- Andy Griffith (9) and Sanford and Son (930)

Now you have no excuses.

If I'm home from work, I think I'll catch some Sanford and Son myself.

[LeftCoast]

29. I know what you mean! Every time DimSon speaks I feel like

I'm being lectured to by an idiot.

[NMMNG]

30. Lies, 9/11, Lies, Iran, Lies, Iraq, Lies, 9/11, Lies, Damned Lies, 9/11,

Utter Bullsh*t, etc., etc. Why waste time with that?
