I've been out of the country for one week: Can I have a one sentence synopsis of what I missed?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

There was the the SOTU, the Libby trial, the Cheney debacle, but I missed them all, and many other good news stories. Scanning GD, I see a lot of miscellaneous stuff, but it appears that the good stories are sinking. Just give me a good juicy sentence, please!!

[Tin Man]

1. 2007 is going to be a very, very, bad year for BushCo.

That pretty much sums it up. Nothing but bad news for BushCo until the cows come home.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

5. yes, Yes, YES!!!

Nice to be home!

[goforit]

22. shhhh.....not too loud.

[caligirl]

2. the dems are showing the way in both houses, repubs facing their new reality.

Listen to Webb's rebuttal, he wrote it himself after throwing out hat the party had handed him. He scored major points on both sides.

[burythehatchet]

3. It turns out that Republicks suck ass.

who woulda thought?

[CrazyOrangeCat]

4. Big storm comin'. n/t

[cynatnite]

6. nevermind n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

8. Bush had political capital and it's SPENT, baby.

:rofl:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. You owe it to yourself to watch/listen to Webb's response to the SOTU speech:

11. I DID catch this, early this morning.

Senator Webb continues to impress me more and more.

[Initech]

10. Three words: Bush is fucked.

[Wizard777]

12. Bush's Diary of a Madman.

Dear diary, I'm here to stay.

[BuyingThyme]

13. I sold my washer and dryer ($250),

the public might be learning what we (DUers) have known about Cheney for almost three years (traitor), and Bush is doing exactly what he's been doing for six years (crusade).

[tinfoilinfor2005]

19. I might have given you $300 for the W & D

and less than 2 cents for the Cheney. No sense buying shit...like dad used to say, "Ya get what ya pay for."

[Patsy Stone]

14. Scooter's a very busy amnesiac.

The state of the union has been better.

Welcome back!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

28. "Very busy amnesiac..." LOL!

And thanks for the welcome!

[Warren DeMontague]

15. How about a Haiku?

television on
grinning, beady-eyed chimp-man
river of bullshit

[tinfoilinfor2005]

21. Hey, I haik u!

Very nice:)

[Catherine Vincent]

16. Well....

Someone posted on the firedoglake blog that Fitzgerald has a girlfriend who is smart, sweet, and beautiful…and a Mets fan in Cubs territory (which is gutsy). They don't know if it's true or not, they think it was a troll that posted that info. :)

[Arkham House]

17. Proust in his first book wrote about, wrote about...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. One Sentence? Ok.

Bush blah blah blah blahzee Nancy blinky Cheney no blinky Webb kick assey, block tool no morey, Baby Einstein Apocalypty, Libby no tell truthy, Hillary DU no likey, future still be scary.


...Ok. Maybe not a sentence. But shit, we ain't gettin graded on this right?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

24. Oh my gosh, your sentence makes more sense than the goober

ever did giving any speech. A+.

[Hekate]

20. My shoulder surgery was a great success. Oh, and Bush is toast.

The very night of the SOTU, the word "irrelevant" was bandied about. :rofl: The after-speech commentaries on MSNBC were very pleasurable to watch.

We are far from being out of danger though, as cornered rats are dangerous and Bush'n'Cheney have set their sights on Iran. Vigilance is necessary.

Hekate

[tinfoilinfor2005]

26. If I ever need a strong shoulder to cry on, I will certainly turn to you!

Congrats on the surgery!

As for the rest, don't we all know it...:(

[Hekate]

31. Absolutely. And you too.

:hi:

Hekate

[goforit]

23. Bottom line?.. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-..... well you know the rest

[bigtree]

25. Bush lied (again), and people died (again.

[Tyo]

27. Nothing

Wherever you were you I'm sure had better and more in-depth news coverage than we have here. That's been my experience anyway.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

29. It's not where I was...it's that I was with a five year old grandson

and our priority was to keep him happy and busy and occupied so that we could get our work done. And therefore the tv was tuned to cartoons etc. all week.

But I agree with you; actual journalists in other countries are more concerned with providing the news and not so much with pleasing the sponsors or the powers that may be...

[Tyo]

30. Gotcha. But that's cool too.

It might not be news, but there is truth in cartoons. Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny can teach us much.

[orleans]

32. two poll workers in ohio were found guilty of rigging the recount in 04

and my thread on it got 169 recommendations!

oh yeah, and here's the link
