State Of The Union Deja Vu

Gee was it just me or did King George II State of Dis Union speech last night seem familiar. Like his comments on the war in Iraq.

Could have sworn I heard that in December when he did his whirlwind speaking tour defending the indefensible, after his polling numbers ended up in the basement. Yep I did. It was word for word.

Most of what he had to say was well same old same old. He gave that huyuck Texas bubba look, pause wait for applause, pause guys waiting for applause, oh boy they are applauding, smirk. Half the house failed to applaud on key points, and only Senator McCain applauded vigorously when el presidente said that he would do something about cleaning up lobbying. Yeah right when hell freezes over.

Ho hum nothing new here lets move on.
