No, I didn’t do a SOTU liveblog.
If you want one of those, there are plenty of places to find one.
Nonetheless, Cabernet Sauvignon in hand — how else can one survive the Bush Administration — here are my bullet points.
- How in the heck can I believe anything George Bush says when it comes to controlling spending or earmarks after looking at how the first seven years of his administration went ? Say what you want Mr. President, but you governed far different from your rhetoric, and, sir, you are no fiscal conservative
- Maybe you’re right that the mess in Iraq is better than it was, but when is someone going to take responsibility for the mess in the first place ? When is someone going to admit that our pre-war intelligence was completely wrong ? And when is someone going to admit that the war plan was completely wrong ? Until those questions are answered, your legacy is tainted.
- When is someone going to follow Thomas Jefferson’s example and deliver the SOTU on a piece of paper ?
And that, quite honestly, is all I’ve got to say about this annual national spectacle.
