Nancy Pelosi: Bush SOTU was "a Nice Break from Reality TV"

The President's speech tonight was more of the same. Just a speech. Empty rhetoric from a man and a party who have consistently failed to lead our country on the most pressing issues. Health care costs and energy bills continue to hammer working families, and we still don't have a plan for our troops in Iraq. All this was true before the President's speech, and it remains true now.

The State of the Union showed that once again, the President is choosing lobbyists and special interests over the American people. Last year, it was Social Security; this year, it's Health Savings Accounts. President Bush may think Americans should pay more to get less, but Democrats will fight for real reform - because it's right, and because the nation's economic security depends on it. The President's health care plan is brought to you by the same people who created the confusing and special-interest driven Medicare prescription drug bill and promoted privatization of Social Security. Americans didn't fall for privatization of Social Security, and they know that Health Saving Accounts will do nothing to reduce soaring health care costs or the number of uninsured Americans.

1. So why didn't she deliver the rejoinder instead of the wuss from VA?

We will never live that down.

Pathetic.

2. Very true! Imus has spent the morning

making fun of his eyebrow that jumps up and down. We can not use Dems in the forefront that are not strong in the message. Our message gets diluted in the media because of these bad decisions.

3. OMFG Look at Cheney! "Everything is going according to plan"

Isn't that what cartoonish villians say when they rub their evil hands together with glee?

5. Both Cheney And Hastert Look BEATEN

Abramoff is going sink the Bad Ship Lolly Bush.

6. The both look older than they are.

Cheney looks far older than his years. I guess all those heart problems in that sad little Grinch heart make one look haggard. And Hastert...how old is he? He looks like one would think a Puke would...a bloated, pasty WASPish middle age man that would look at home on a Law and Order SVU episode dealing with S & M gone bad. And Hastert would be the witness, the dirty little Wall Street man who likes Madame Dominatrix to use the whip real hard on his ruddy little buns.

7. Ruddy Little Buns? Surely You Jest The Man Has Buns Of Bratwurst!

I like your SVU idea but I would have Denny playing the part of a slovenly crotch scratching deli owner. "Ya want some smegma with that sausage honey?"

4. I don't know why she's the leader

She has been consistently been proving to me how well she says nothing.
