[EarlG]

Here you go:

You can read the rest here.

[zappaman]

1. Bookmarked to read later. n/t

[Scuba]

2. DUzy!!!

[demwing]

3. Threadwin... /nt

[kwolf68]

4. LOL

eom

[sharp_stick]

5. TLDR

on edit: Dammit I should read the other replies before coming in and thinking I was first.

[deafskeptic]

6. The OP just won the internets. :D n/t

[liberal N proud]

7. Vast nothingness

[berni_mccoy]

8. LOL.

[Brainstormy]

9. Great Synopsis! nt

[Turbineguy]

10. Thanks!

My Wife changed the channel before I could even check out the couch!

[cbayer]

11. Was that not one of the most painful things you have ever seen?

If they wanted to get rid of her, couldn't that have found a kinder way to do it?

OTOH, I kept thinking that if this is the best they've got, that's very good news for us.

[dickthegrouch]

36. DUzy Nomination /nt

[CanonRay]

12. I don't have time to read it all, can you bullet point it for me?

Thanks!

[Oilwellian]

14. Went right over the old noggin, eh? LOL

[jmowreader]

52. No. We can't.

If we bullet pointed Cathy's speech, you'd be tempted to use one of those bullets on yourself to take the pain away...and we've already got a shortage of Democrats.

[blackspade]

13. I was oing to say: a whole lot of nothing....

[rhett o rick]

15. Hey! When I clicked on "here" I got a virus.

A Republican response virus. Now I've seen it, I will never be able to get my brain cleaned of it.

[George II]

16. Couldn't they be specific? A lot of gray area there!!!!

[Wounded Bear]

37. It's where the gray matter is supposed to be...

[MynameisBlarney]

17. Bwahahahaaa!

This is gettin posted on Raw Story!

[proReality]

18. Thank you for taking the time to break that down.

Saves the rest of us time to go kiss our children and bake cookies, while praying.

[watoos]

31. Gawd, thank you

you made me belly laugh. good 1.

[W.J. McCabe]

19. I think you gave them too much credit.

[Politicub]

20. LOL!

[hfojvt]

21. but what about their plan?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4405353

[Liberalynn]

22. OMG

That is funny.

Thank you so much for one of the few smiles I have had in the past couple of days.

[quinnox]

23. Thanks, I hadn't read any of the GOP response yet. Much appreciated!

[nxylas]

24. Which one?

The Judean Republican Party, The Republican Party of Judea (splitters!) or the RandPaulican Party?

[grantcart]

25. Wise words from my hometown.

I actually went to school with Rogers sister in law, Becky Rogers, quite a nice person.

[Hugin]

26. Thanks for the Executive Summary.

Separating the wheat from the chaff.

[struggle4progress]

27. She did explain her approach to addressing the country's problems:

... I simply offer a prayer ...

So it's just completely unfair to say Republicans have no specific plan for ending unemployment, fending off global warming, ending the war in Afghanistan, and so on

As Cathy McMorris Rodgers pointed out, they have a vision of our future, even more hopeful than that of the President, a vision of rebuilding the American Dream! of a workforce that can take on the world! of dreaming big for everyone! of the boundless potential that lies ahead!

And they actually have a road map to get us to that glorious future, in which we will be to kiss our kids goodnight, in which we will figure out how to pay our bills, and in which we will be getting ready for tomorrow's doctor's visit: Cathy McMorris Rodgers is praying for us!

[Andy823]

57. Yep,

I guess her praying for us is much better than actually coming with "DETAILS" of their plans! Seems like they "always" have a plan, but "never" have any details about the "plan"!

It's just pure BS, they have never really had any "plan" except to do everything in their power to keep the country from moving ahead.

[Kablooie]

28. Here is a quick summary:

They're in your homes.
Figuring out how to pay the bills...
That's the genius of America.
That is what we stand for --
The President said many things tonight.
So, tonight, I simply offer a prayer...

[libodem]

29. LOLOLOL

Too bad it is the truth.

[AlbertCat]

30. Thank you

I see it is consistent with the GOP substance on everything else, from current and past events, to their legislation achievements.

[tridim]

32. From The Everlasting GOP Stoppers...

[flamingdem]

51. oh dear me!

[watoos]

33. Just one more request

can you do the summary in Spanish?

[Hugin]

34. Buena idea, señor o señora.

Gracias!

[NRaleighLiberal]

35. So, she DID have just a blank stare!

[Wounded Bear]

38. So I clicked on the link...

It may have been "here," but I soon found out that there was no "there" there.

[OnlinePoker]

39. From the transcript, this stood out to me

"So we hope the President will join us in a year of real action -- by empowering people -- not making their lives harder with unprecedented spending, higher taxes, and fewer jobs."


She voted for the budget bill that will create "unprecedented spending and higher taxes". The President only signs these bills into law. It's the House and Senate that actually create them. As for fewer jobs, there were 1.363 million more people employed in December compared to a year earlier.

[alfredo]

40. Rodgers' response was all me me me. Look at me.

[noiretextatique]

54. i just read it, and my head hurts

she used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing about the GOP's plans to spur he economy and provide the opportunities she claimed are lacking. it was pure pap.

[alfredo]

56. Did you notice the light in the fireplace?

[noiretextatique]

74. nope

I cannot watch rw
assholes speak. I just read the text.

[alfredo]

75. It was comedy gold.

They put the light in there so you could better see the fake fireplace.

[maindawg]

41. I only saw the woman

On NBC, Here is what I heard. Family,family,family,I have a family, a family just had a baby 6 weeks ago, family,family family. God,god ,god.

[hibbing]

42. God, Apple Pie, America, Monkey Pancakes, Family, America, Baseball, USA! USA!

[orbitalman]

43. In the Bush vernacular, it was "more stupider" than any other response...

I've heard to date. I could NOT believe what I was hearing. So republican, chock full of less than NOTHING.

[oldandhappy]

44. Excellent!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Innocent me clicked expecting a few sentences -- Hilarious. You are to be congratulated for a fine post.

[Rider3]

45. Hahahaaa!

[2naSalit]

46. THANK YOU

For enduring that pain for we the little people (courtesy of Denny Hastert) so that we can know what was really being said by those who are so reprehensible that most of us can't bear to watch or listen!!!

As they say in Boston with genuine fondness for such a sacrifice... Bless ya haat!

[Rex]

47. Oh...just like every other response over the years.

I wonder if their position will ever change? I doubt it.

[madokie]

48. LOL

Damn EarlG you got me.
Soon as Obama walked off I turned in. No way was I going to subject my only ear to what the pukes were going to say. F* 'm and the stolen votes they rode in on.

[valerief]

49. As soon as the first GOP clown came on, I flipped to Netflix and continued watching

'An Idiot Abroad,' because I wasn't in the mood to watch real idiots.

[rurallib]

50. Hard to believe they couldn't even say that in a understandable, believable manner

they can't even say that without lying.

[madinmaryland]

53. That brings new meaning to why I was calling the GOP STFU response.

[niyad]

55. seeing the headline, I knew what to expect. it brought to mind an old classic book, "the wit

and wisdom of spiro agnew". it was, of course, a blank book.

[Cha]

58. But but but "republicons believe... yada yada yada..

[3catwoman3]

61. The flaming...

...hypocrisy of THAT statement had me shouting at my television.

[spanone]

59. didn't realize there were quite so many!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

60. she's a damn good liar. I'll give her that.

Quite a skill there.




Ugh god I wanted to puke reading that transcript.

[BumRushDaShow]

62. This

[yellowcanine]

63. The logic is irrefutable!

[3catwoman3]

64. I had a feeling that...

...this would open to a blank page - what understated brilliance.

[Godot51]

65. As much as that?

I'll have to save that link for further perusal.

[Fearless]

66. I'd like to report a glitch...

For half a second I thought I saw something in the box. Might be just my imagination, but it appeared to be a sticky substance of some kind...

EDIT TO ADD: Cancel that, I may have just thrown up a bit on the screen at the phrase GOP SOTU.

[lastlib]

67. Here's the executive summary.......

for those of you pressed for time:

[blkmusclmachine]

68. That much?!?!

[sheshe2]

69. Yea! EarlG!

Thank you...at 1:30 my time your post is at the top of the page.

So very happy to see the F*** post out of here!

[toby jo]

70. Reminded me of mitten's first debate/lies

Funny, when they're lieing, they just sit and quote left wing talking points - they know what will work, it just doesn't pay$

[FailureToCommunicate]

71. She had lifeless eyes...like a doll's eyes...

Thanks, EarlG, for a great take on a lame reponse!

[L0oniX]

72. Paragraphs are a wonderful thing.

[BadGimp]

73. you're much too kind
