2. My wife says there ain't no way she's letting me watch the SOTU
I tend to get violent when I see his face on TV. My wife doesn't want me to break anything. She's taking me out for Pizza. I'll get the complete synopsis tomorrow right here.

10. Remember that story about the guy who'd go into epileptic fits whenever
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 01:29 PM by Montauk6
he'd hear Mary Hart's voice (when she hosted Entertainment Tonight)?

Maybe they should do the pharm ad disclaimer before the speech begins.

16. My wonderful wife
is as liberal as me but she's much more level headed.

I do think a surgeon general's warning is in order. Watching this man will cause your brain to rot.

3. I've seen it already
Same ol' same ol'

Now if you were to tell me that he plans on leading the room in singing "Rainbow High" from Evita, I MIGHT tune in.

Ahh, how I've neglected that thing.

You rule, Mr. President!

6. Know Thine Enemy
I'll have to listen on my ride home from work... handsomeboyfriendhoneybutt said I have to go upstairs to finish watching it when I come home... that's fine:)


The more W lies, the more I like it. Strengthens my resolve and ups the possibility that others will open their eyes.

8. I've seen enough of Bush for one lifetime already.
Besides we'll get a play by play on tomorrows news along with the glowing praise from the hired help/talking heads.

9. Not sure
I was planning on it because I was hoping for a walk out or a no show from our team. Even to see them not clap or stand but now I guess they will probably be clapping and standing and cheering (at least some of them, enough for the media to show and claim we are all one behind our Daddy/King) so I may just sit this one out.

12. His image is banned from this house.
You could offer me 10 million dollars to watch that speech and I'd have to turn you down. That's how much I detest that piece of shit.

14. Nope. Hate that man passionately.
Don't want to hear his voice, don't want to hear his lies. The one's I've watched I've only screamed at the TV set.
Don't want him to sully my television with his fugly image.

There's enough evil in this world and he an his cronies & evangelicals (who wouldn't know Christ if he descended on a pink cloud in front of them) are minions of Satan himself -- I'm keeping it and them out of my house.

18. mute, with captions.
The "stand and clap" stuff is so annoying aside from
the truly grating King George voice.

20. I'm curious to see if the Dems have any backbone
in terms of how they react to Bush.

Otherwise, I'm beyond sick and tired of listening to lie after lie after lie that comes out of that m-fucker's mouth :mad: :puke:

24. I'll watch, simply because I feel like I should know what the sneaky
little weasel is up to. It's not easy, but it's supposed to build character when you do a hard job that you don't really enjoy.

25. Yes I will because I want to remember.


I don't ever want to forget every little stunt, every little dirty trick, every lie, distortion and exaggeration these assholes pulled. Even if I live to be 100. I hope I'm still lucid enough to tell everyone to watch out for these slimy assholes.

26. No, if given a choice
between having a root canal done and watching the sumbitch, I'd choose the root canal.

28. Nope
Not only can I not stand to look at *, his voice to me is like fingernails on a blackboard. Add to that the fake standing ovations--can't take it. I'll read DU to learn what I need to know about what the fool said.

29. A trained suited monkey reciting Pigshit's RWTP note cards verbatim.
Sorry, I have more important grass to watch grow.

The only party I'll be happy with is the one thrown at the Blight House in January 2009 when this parade of bumpkin fascists finally vacates OUR office.

See you Honolulu DU'ers there! NION spent a fortune on the ad and they could use every dollar you could spare. It was a bold step out, meriting kokua from all of us.

33. Nope. My IQ drops everytime I hear him speak...
It's not worth the loss of IQ points. I'll read the transcript in the morning. If I thought our Dems would stand up and walk out of the speech, or refuse to stand or clap for him, or stand and collectively turn their backs to him as he exited even... THEN I might watch.
