The SOTU Speech WTF Is Up With This?
Is anyone else out there wondering where this part came from?

"So tonight I call on team owners, union representatives, coaches, and players to take the lead, to send the right signal, to get tough, and to get rid of steroids now."

Now that came out of right field (Pardon the puns) Steroids?? Steroids?? He has Thousands of our youth in a war that there seems no end to but he is worried about steroids? He has screwed up the economy almost beyond repair and this moron is worried about steroids in Professional Sports! Screw you Bush, You rock!

Please Mr.Kerry Save us!

1. I'm thinking
Dubya wrote his own SOTU speech which would explain the idiocy of the content of same.

3. I think you're close
What if the only "news" Dubya watches or reads is the sports page?

If that's all he knows, then he would have probably been insistant on including it in his speech.

That's my guess.........it also shows you how out-of-touch he really is..........

4. I was waiting for the * bully pulpit section
This is the part that KarlCo lets him write all by himself.

It could have been worse, Harkening back to other memorable Bush priorities, he could have announced a new war on white slavery.

Really, it was an awful speech, full of awful ideas and shocking mendacity. It was the belligerent, agonized bellow of a criminal beast, watching the noose of justice closing around its neck.

It sank like a stone in the sea of public opinion.
