Yahoo! News - President Polishes State of Union Speech


Perhaps the scariest words known to mankind. Do you think he actually polishes? In the photo, he shows glasses and looks like an intellecutal. What does he need the glasses for? He doesn't drive anymore. He told us he didn't read the papers. You telling me he reads the classics?

As for the speech, we might hear about "spacial entrepreneurs" (NASA people), or such quotes as these: (all from slate.com)

"So thank you for reminding me about the importance of being a good mom and a great volunteer as well."—St. Louis, Jan. 5, 2004

"I want to remind you all that in order to fight and win the war, it requires an expenditure of money that is commiserate with keeping a promise to our troops to make sure that they're well-paid, well-trained, well-equipped."

"See, without the tax relief package, there would have been a deficit, but there wouldn't have been the commiserate—not 'commiserate'—the kick to our economy that occurred as a result of the tax relief."

"[T]he best way to find these terrorists who hide in holes is to get people coming forth to describe the location of the hole, is to give clues and data."

"Justice was being delivered to a man who defied that gift from the Almighty to the people of Iraq."—Washington, D.C., Dec. 15, 2003

"[A]s you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say."—Washington, D.C., Oct. 28, 2003

And, perhaps, the best argument for reading, watching cable, knitting, brewing beer, recaulking windows, resodding lawns, painting the house, going to the dentist, regrouting the tub.....
