The State of the Union
After last year's obsesseive marathon minute by minute rundown of the President's State of the Union, I decided this time to try to recreate the magic that was that night. However, after realizing that I was a lot funnier in January of 2006, I changed my mind. So, here are some observations, less plentiful.
8:56: Barack Obama entered the hall and hugged an unidentified black Congressman, an image I'm sure no other democratic candidate for President will secretly distribute at pancake breakfasts in Nashua, New Hampshire.
9:00: Chris Matthews introduces "The first woman Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Who is a woman." Very inciteful.
9:04: Secretary of Commerce and noted moustache Carlos Guittierez enters the hall, runs away from Tom Tancredo.
9:14: Bush prays for the speedy recovery of "Senator Tim Johnson and Congressman Charlie Norwood. Well, not Johnson."
9:18: The President plans to eliminate the federal deficit within five years. His plan? Fire all the democratic members of Congress.
9:21: Ted Kennedy is asleep.
9:24: Bush outlines a health care plan that no one in the chamber understands. Seriously, what the fuck?
9:26: "Medical decisions should be left to patients and their doctors." Ha ha! He's joking!
9:30: Mispronunciation of nuclear (NOO-qu-ler) and vehicle (VEE-hicle).
9:31: Wood chips again?
9:32: Hey, aren't we at war?
9:34: 9/11!
9:46: "We didn't drive Al Queda out of Afghanistan to allow them safe haven in Iraq." Actually, we didn't drive Al Queda out of Afghanistan.
9:50: So Cheney's wearing a purple tie?
9:54: Darfur and Burma, Belarus and Cuba. Who's speaking again?
9:54: "We must fight HIV AIDS especially on the continent of Africa."
Cue...... Black guy!
9:57: DIKEMBE MOTUMBO!!!!!
I need to catch my breath.
10:00: Bush introduces Wesley Autrey, the New Yorker who saved a stranger's life by shielding him from an oncoming subway train. Autrey stands, blows kisses to the crowd, and then... pounds his chest and points at Motumbo. Lynne Cheney inches away. Holy cow! Greatest SOTU moment ever, just nudging out last year's standing ovation after Bush admitted defeat on Social Security.
