#25 - What Union is Bush living in?

[reileen]

I didn't even know that the State of the Union was on tonight until cmpriest made a rather acidic post about it. Curious and feeling guilty about never being up on current events, I Googled the transcript (it would be faster and easier than watching the whole thing, in more ways than one) and read through it.

Holy shit. All of that and he didn't mention Katrina even once. Wtf. I'm nowhere near as political and up-to-date on things as some of my peers (and even some of my juniors), but how the fuck can you think to comment on the "state of the union" and not mention the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina? I really think that says something about this administration. Also, the talk about balancing the federal budget within five years? How the fuck can you do that if you're planning on spending almost a trillion dollars on the military within the next two years? Seriously. Tell me.

In the words of cmpriest: "If [Bush] were a martial artist, he'd be Shit-Yu - and his shit-fu would be strong."
