SOTU Rebuttal: An unofficial transcript

[Lesleymo]

Good evening. I'm Bob McDonnell. I was just sworn in as Governor of Virginia 20 minutes ago, and look at all these fans I already have! Good gosh golly.

Why, there's an African-American lady standing right behind me. And an Asian dude over to the side. Not to mention this military man and the wholesome white chick. Welcome, cross-section of America! You may thunderously applaud now.

It's not easy to follow the President of the United States. Especially when he just talked about all the points I was going to cover. I had this big long ol' speech about creating jobs and cutting back on spending and becoming energy independent, but he went and stole my thunder. Dang.

President Obama had the audacity to talk about the American spirit and our national pride.

He insisted, "I do not accept second place for the United States of America."

He asked, "How long should America put its future on hold?"

He made it nearly impossible for my Republican colleagues to remain in their seats with contemptuous sneers on their faces.

So in conclusion, now that I really have nothing new to say, let me conclude with this thought:

"Tort reform, tort reform, tort reform."

God bless y'all, check me out on Facebook and Twitter, and take a look at my Flickr collection too, heh heh, Scott Brown eat your heart out.

5. odd how the rebuttals are never by actual Rep congressmen or women

anymore.

They are always playing some weird game - why show the Va. Leg or whatever they were showing. Truly bizarre. I miss the old days when the Rep minority leader used to speak and that was it. No fake showmanship.

7. Jim Webb gave a good one a few years ago

after a * SOTU. Now the repubs are trying to promote newcomers to do that job. It has backfired 2 years in a row.

[tigereye]

8. I know, remember Gov. Jindal? That was so bizarre.

[MiniMe]

13. I think that has ended any hope that Jindal had for a Presidential run

[MiniMe]

6. You forgot "smaller government"

[Lesleymo]

9. Oops

Plus, "cooperation and bipartisanship" ... that McDonnell is one funny guy.

[daleman]
