2. Who won't be there? Jessica Lynch? 911 Widows? Laura's old boyfriend?
I'd say anybody who is anyone will not be there.

I wish I could say that for the Democrats. I would like to see them all arise enmass and walk out on him.

If they did, I'd have laryngitis tomorrow!

3. What dead GI's?
Bush hasn't seen any of them come home. Therefor to him they don't exist. Just like no one protests him. Lalalala, so see 'em, no hear 'em. Lalalala

4. It doesn't matter
Edited on Tue Jan-20-04 08:16 PM by Marianne
she may, if she is told to do so, smiling that vacant and vapid Joker smile that unflatteringly accents her asian eye lift(that's the one that makes her look cross eyed in many photos, because it has been poorly done), advocate reading to the children--

that is the dead Iraqi children her husband killed. If it would bring in some money to George's re=election treasury, I would not doubt the wooden headed, woman with the Joker smile would find a seat somewhere in the cemetary , sit down and encourage the photo op of herself reading to the dead Iraqi children. For this she would wear the most fancy of upholstry fabrics sewn into a too tight skirt and jacket, emphasizing her rather opulent hippy and pippy look.

Also those Afganistan children who are resting in their graves--she may sit a read to them also.

After that, she will take in at least three fundraising events in the United States,during the week, traveling on our money, helping her criminal, idiot of a husband rack up an obscene abount of money, begging from mega corporations, and not so mega corporations, enough money to win the election , or at least to steal it again in another coup of some sort, in order to continue killing foreign babies and children in his little, impulsive invasions, here and there for his accumulation of "spoils"--on our money and on his lies, of course.

5. None, but Tom Brady will be there.....
Sad to say, but the Patriots quaterback will be there as a guest of Lulu Bush. Good God. How can the man that is going to take New England to another Super Bowl victory bear to sit next to that wench? Even more sickening is that * will use Tom in some absurd way to tout his twisted agenda. Kick Kick Kick..........

7. Probably not. I'd be surprised if it's even mentioned.
A few co-workers and I were discussing various topics today and one of them was saying how she didn't know the SOTU was tonight. Like it was some spectacular thing or something. LOL!

8. The media ignores the dead soldiers, the military families.
Thousands of mothers and fathers and loved ones in DC tonight..the media are whores, just as the politicians are, and no one cares about the dead and wounded.
The REAL government of the United States is standing outside in DC, mourning and calling out the names of the dead in Iraq.
We, the People.
