On matters of justice, we must trust in the wisdom of our Founders and empower judges who understand that the Constitution means what it says.

Man, I’d like some judges like that, too! Ooh, and maybe Justice Department officials who “understand that the Constitution means what it says” too! O brave new world!

Doug - I didn’t notice a tic - but I did see he kept on giving us one of those Curious George grins after one of his characteristic lies. You think he knows he has no clothes?

There is a book on-line at The Authoritarians.com that explains very well what is wrong with head wingnut Bush. It’s a very informative and amazing read. You can read it on-line or order the book. I strongly suggest everyone read it, but especially those who wonder how the Prez can continue sayint these things with a straight face. Made a lot of things clear to me - also is something to be aware of before any election.

Too bad about Jason.

your new friend Jason says,

“This is what your blog said…”blah blah blah…I hate America…blah blah blah…I don’t believe in democracy…blah blah blah…I want to do Nancy Pelosi…blah blah blah…I’m a closed minded liberal…yay communism.”

apart from the last two, I thought that was what Junior was saying, not you. (”yay, tax breaks for the comfortable…”)

“Yay communism?”

Wow, stuck in the 1980s much?

What a pair of maroons, Jason and his preznit. Loud and sad, like maroon plaid golf pants.

I did notice one thing. It’s a visual, so you wod have to watch to see, but when he tosses of one of his ‘up is down’ whoppers, he has a facial tic.. a twitch on the left side of his face. He pauses to see if anyone noticed it. I do not recomend he takes up professional poker after he retires.

Just when I’d spent most of the SOTU thinking, “Is there anyone left who is so hard-of-thinking that they’d believe this crap?”, someone shows up here to prove there is. Wow.

Moving on, I was impressed by the dogged insistence that there was one enemy, al Qaeda, in Iraq. He seemed extremely proud of his aim to eliminate al Q. from Iraq, which, as I recall, was pretty much where they were before we invaded. Golly, some progress. Apparently, the Iraqis are all ready to sing Kumbaya as soon as al Q is vanquished. No mention about the problems with the deBaathification law, nor the news that they currently can’t even agree on a flag.

He wants Congress to give our troops all they need. (But he promises to veto any tax (i.e. revenue) increase, and also wants to balance the budget. Apparently, all that stuff about job retraining and alternate energy research will be done using those volunteers he’s babbling about, after they’re done cleaning up the Gulf Coast?)

He went a lot lighter on the surveillance bill than I was expecting, and it was pretty smooth how he went from surveillance to ‘liability’ for telecoms, as if they were the same thing.

I also like the complete absence of any notice that something has been happening in Gaza lately. All that talk about the Holy Land, and peace, and a Palestinian state, and not a peep about the Israeli embargo, collective punishment, or the busting through to Egypt, nor how any of that might jive with that whole “trusting the people” to choose freedom and peace bit.

He’s a buffoon. His last hurrah was as empty as his head, and now he gets relegated to the dust bin of history. He’s done a belly flop in leadership on the world’s stage, and failed miserably in every aspect of the job in which he was entrusted. So, he’s now a toothless lion roaring loudly to appear relevant.
He partied through his credibility years ago.

Jason,

I’ve read many blogs in my lifetime

I doubt that. I infer from your gross misinterpretation of this post that you barely read at all.
