Bottoms Up!
A little late in the game, but thought I'd throw a little a State-of-the-Union party right here in blogland. God knows you can't watch this crap sober...
Every time our fearless leader says:
freedom: drink 1
liberty: drink 1
nuk-u-lar: drink 1
Saddam Hussein: drink 2
terror: drink 1
war: drink 1
war on terror: drink 2
Every time Chuckles:
shuffles his feet: drink 2
snickers: drink 1
says something he thinks is witty or insightful and grins smugly: drink 2
every time it's not: drink 1
smirks: drink 1
metions God: drink 1
butchers Nancy Pelosi's name and/or title, deliberately or otherwise: drink 2
mispronounces Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: drink 1
stutters: drink 1
uses a nonword: drink 2
resigns: chug your beer, strip down naked and run through the streets shouting in jubilation
Add your own to the list.....
And GO JIM WEBB!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
They really should schedule these things for the weekend. Who has the time to get plastered on a Tuesday night? And you know you'd be plastered by about 15 minutes into it, even if you're only drinking watered-down wine coolers.
Unfortunately (?) I didn't catch the State of the Union. We had Cub Scouts and a wrestling tournament so we weren't home. Besides, I really just can't stomach the Bushisms. I know that is childish, but I really do have a visceral reaction to some of his mannerisms and tried-and-untrue standard statements.
I read your recap in the other post (thanks for taking the time - it must have been challenging) and I don't think he said anything that I couldn't have predicted anyway. Those State of the Union addresses are always just a bunch of posturing anyway.
I usually don't watch either. His mannersisms are so...flippant. Like he's dealing with children who just don't understand the complicated ways of the world.
I felt sorry for him for a brief moment, imagining what it would be like to face a hostile majority with an approval rating rivaling Nixon's at resignation, but it wasn't long before I again began to wonder why he was addressing the nation and not a jury at the Hague.
