How many standing ovations will Shrub get tomorrow night?
The usual 60? None? (I would hope none). I was getting so tired of that Fuehrer Addressing the Reichstag bit that I hope it has gone by the wayside.

2. Bush will have his patsies all lined up.
Lots of standing o's. Lots of cheers. And the Dems will sit with arms folded and grumpy faces. With the exception of Lieberman, of course, who will have a smile on his face and a lump in his pants.

4. Well, they have to stand when he walks in...
beyond that, the only reason I'd see them standing is if he references our hardworking troops.

18. I suspect * and his speechwriters know that to be true.
I expect more calls to recognize the troops for that exact reason. He doesn't give a damn himself, but he knows it's the only time he'll get a hand.

5. i think i'll watch it this time
i usually avoid it because Idiot-in-chief makes me sick. But this time, it's going to be entertaining to watch people react to him! And I can't wait to hear Webb's response which will be a sound kick in the butt!

DU's the place to be tomorrow night! LOL!

15. That's what I want to see
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 11:11 PM by enigmatic
A part of the speech where Lieberman jumps up and applauds wildly, then looks around a notices HE'S the only one not only standing, but applauding!

Please, let that happen..

19. They will whore it up
I mean there will be crying , they will show politicians hugging him, kissing him, they will have looks on their faces as if Bush*t is the greatest human being ever, they are really going to go full hog this time, the media will eat it up, the only thing I ask is to think of 2008 and take a look at what certain Democrats are doing.

22. He'll get a whole bunch. From maybe three guys.
Edited on Tue Jan-23-07 12:30 AM by calimary
Including joe lieberman.

On the other hand, the move I'd most like to see probably won't happen: either Dems standing when he arrives - WITH THEIR BACKS TURNED, OR standing up - and WALKING OUT. I doubt either one will actually happen, but if I were in the House or Senate, that's how I would respond tomorrow night. It's about time he starts getting his face rubbed in it.

In general, I think the response will be - as the media says when it's trying to tiptoe around the obvious - "muted."

23. I wish they'd stage a walk out
Just get up and leave. What a message that would be. Fat chance that would happen though.
