The State Of The Union Speech: Buttmissile Rejoins
If you want to know how well Bush did with something involving coordinated movement, speech, human metabolic processes, or any of his other challenges, go check Assrocket — that’s what I always say.
Mr. John Hinderaker of the Powerline blog (and the Claremont Institute) places his fingers ponderingly on his chin, nips his pen cap between his teeth, and emits wisdom:
State of the Union, Origins of the Surge
I missed President Bush’s State of the Union speech tonight; we tuned in just in time to see Chuck Schumer standing and applauding.
This is like if you ran into Christopher Hitchens on the street, and Hitchens was like, “I forgot to have a drink this afternoon, but I nipped into a bar just in time for the 10-cent Buffalo wings.” You’re inclined to believe him just because it’s so slappingly unlikely. Goebbels knew all about this human tendency. Regardless, I genuinely think we’re learning something here.
By then the speech was about over, but even the last five minutes were a useful reminder of the President’s power, even in the last year of his administration.
I.e., Bush said various things, and audience members, at times, stood up and applauded as though they knew they were being watched and judged on national television by voters and tee-vee pundits — proving that unlike Obama and Hillary, Bush is in fact president, as opposed to not-president. He is, as a pure fact-on-the-ground, special in that way. Proving his specialness, et seq.
We didn’t live blog the speech tonight, but a number of our readers did, here. Their running commentary (including some by a handful of liberals) gives a pretty good sense of the evening.
I feel a bit guilty, by the way, because a number of referrals tonight came from Google searches on “live blog the state of the union.” I trust that those Googlers figured out they had linked to another year’s speech.
Unfair, because what about all those Googlers searching for ‘dude shooting a rocket out of his ass?’ Also, no quotes means false-positive results on possible Powerline phrases, “I live in a hell of my own making,” “2004 blog of the year!” “the state of my penis is quite more detumescent these days than before, actually,” “beauty contests such as the Miss America pageant are the pinnacle of the lively arts, circa 2008 AD,” and “I’m hip to the popular music: Like, oh, what’s that song the kids were listening to awhile ago? The telegram force and ready, the fine line drawing? The union of the snake, it’s on the climb?”
If you’re looking for an alternative to SOTU commentary, check out Fred Barnes’ cover story in this week’s Weekly Standard: “How Bush Decided on the Surge.” It’s a riveting account of what was probably the most important decision of Bush’s eight years. Here is the conclusion:
Verdict: Bush flopped like a floppy flopping-thing, and was not Hindy’s champion and personal Stretch Armstrong toy last night. There was teeth-gritting and muttering, soul-searching, even. Shallow, shallow soul-searching of the papery-thin Powerline kind.
The 20-minute speech on January 10, 2007, was not Bush’s most eloquent. And it wasn’t greeted with applause. Democrats condemned the surge and Republicans were mostly silent. Polls showing strong public opposition to the war in Iraq were unaffected.
But the president, as best I could tell, wasn’t looking for affirmation. He was focused solely on victory in Iraq. The surge may achieve that. And if it does, Bush’s decision to spurn public opinion and the pressure of politics and intensify the war in Iraq will surely be regarded as the greatest of his presidency.
It’s fascinating stuff; check it out.
Translation: Bush sucks and everyone, in some measure, knows it. His hat is hung on a bendy-straw. This, since other casuistries are unavailable, must certainly be Bush’s very strength: Sucking. Plus, of course, any program or idea that isn’t currently destroyed, on fire, or leaking toxic spew. E.g., the surge.
A fitting end for their kind — if their kind ever gave up, which they totally freaking don’t.
‘…check out Fred Barnes’ cover story in this week’s Weekly Standard: “How Bush Decided on the Surge.”’
Which is the sequel to his book, “How Bush Created a Surge in My Pants.”
As my grandfather used to say, “That boy from Texas is about as sharp as a football.”
Master Assrocket missed the STFU address?
Unless he can prove he was kidnapped and butt probed by illegal aliens I’m pretty sure that’s a hanging offense.
Maybe assrocket was talking about his personal “surge”.
ahem… in case nobody has pointed this out yet, I thought you all might be interested in this
The anonymity of the internet is a doughy-edged sword.
Wait… the surge was Bush’s most important decision? Not, say, going to fucking war in the first place? Or how to fuck up in responding to 9/11? Or how to not respond to Hurricane Katrina for a week? Or picking two Supreme Court Justices? Or asserting Executive Authority to create an Imperial Presidency?
Oy.
Damn, diff brad beat me to it.
Gavin, please put up a photo of the assrocket.
Seriously. I think it just shows that Bush did absolutely nothing redeeming in his presidency. Hell, even Nixon at least founded the EPA.

“You’ve covered your ass, now.”
UR PShop Rulz!
Love the pic – is the rocket man about to be crucified on that telegraph cross thingy behind him?
Bush said something of the sort: “The surge is working, Al Qaidae is on the run in Iraq” No mention of how AQ got in Iraq in the first place…
He’s hanging by his underwears.
I’m… a… ROCKETMAN!
He’s hanging by his underwears.
D’oh! (slaps forehead)
On second thought, it doesn’t mean he can’t be crucified too.
Being Republican means never having to say you were wrong…
because well once you say somethings wrong that means you never were an (R) to begin with…justa sneaky, lying lib rino all along.

Does he mean teh royal “we?”
Or is Butt Rockot involved in a monogamous same-sex relationship?
And if he was late to the show, what was he doing that made him late?
Or is he just a shitty writer who can’t keep his pronouns straight?
President Bush shall go down in history as one of the greatest world leaders in modern times. He is a man of conviction who stood up to the islamic extremists and led America to victory in our time of trial. You leftists don’t see it however because you are all a bunch of America haters who would like to see our great Judeo-Christian nation fall to our enemies. You turds are lucky America is a democracy thats all I have to say.

You guys are not gifted writers, y’know? Maybe you should try another medium. Ann and the malkin thing and pammy and suchlike are working the vlog thing. Not a real pleasure to watch, I’ll be the first to say, but at least you don’t have to try and write coherent english sentences. You and your sockpuppets and dogwhistles and noms de stupid should maybe give it a try…
mikey
SHillary sure stood up to cheer when her husband’s half (adoptive) brother proclaimed the success of our “surge” in Iraq. That means Buttraker’s right, the political class loves the Preznit & his so-successful, trillion$$$ & counting war.
Oh thanks Chrissy St. J, “You turds are lucky ‘Murika is a democracy thats all I have to say”, ejaculate harder as you imagine all us lib’ruls in Death Camps after your hero ChickenHawk Neocons declare Martial law & put us out of your misery. But w/ 70% of the public now realizing the war (& Pres. Cokehead) are utter failures, how will you pull that off?
Oh. Is it, “Chris St. James”? Is that really all you have to say? Well fine. I guess you’ll be fucking off now.

By the way: Who hung Hindrocket up there on that telephone pole? Musta been someone really really tall. And talk about yer super-wedgy! Yow.
The fact is, also, nothing would make me happier and be more just than liberals rounded up and put in detention camps when the next terrorist attack or emergency happens.
The fact is, the surge has been awesome. It is winning the war for us. Al Qaeida is on the run and the democracy spreads. And all liberals can do is hate.
Gary Ruppert = Rag Retry Pup
Al Qaeida is on the run and the democracy spreads
Leave it to FakeGary to make democracy sound like herpes.
The fact is, President Bush shall go down in history on Jeff Gannon.
Someday, the dirt will come out.
Haha!
Two fine links and no spam filter.
That’s where it’s at, baybee!
I gotta say this as an American who’s lived in Canada for the past 37 years— what the fuck is it with this SOTU tradition of standing up and applauding like a bunch of fucking trained seals?
This is a tradition that the Canadian House of Commons lacks, thank the FSM.
I mean, OK, most of the Republicans are stupid enough to do this to try to make it look like their dipshit idiot president is actually inspiring and exciting them… but WTF, why are the opposition politicians obligated to play this stupid game?
At times it reminded me of how the Soviet Politburo members would all have to applaud Stalin endlessly, with KGB spies keeping track of the ones who were the first to quit applauding.
Yech!
The fact is, Jeff Gannon is not gay and this is made up by liberals, who say they support gay but will use it to smear those they don’t like, like several patriots the took down. This whole issue with Jeff Gannon went away, you’ve got nothing, and he is still a respected commentator and bias free truth seeker.
Gary Ruppert = Rat— Err, Guppy
Bush is not a man of convictions–yet. First we must put him on trial.
Gary Ruppert = Party Purger

Unfortunately Canadians have their own variation of this ridiculous spectacle. It’s called The Throne Speech. Thankfully, most Canadians recognize it for the grandstanding political marketing ploy it is. A key difference is that the Prime Minister doesn’t deliver it, the Governer General does. That said the two parties rarely disagree on the content. It’s basically a bunch of hosers in parliament politely applauding their leader and each other for a job well done.
Aah, Bush’s last SOTU speech. Soon it will be his last month, then last day, then he will be gone forever.
The fact is, Gary...
You lefty turds just keep on slandering patriots like President Bush. It will all eventually turn around and bite you in the ass when he goes down in history as a man of principle and morals who did what was right no matter what the polls (which are biased left anyways) showed. I agree with Gary that when the next terror strike occurs you lefty turds should be put in detainment camps to prevent you from collaborating with the enemy.

I don’t know, but I think it’s only gotten worse over the years, and I honestly wish they’d just stop all the grandstanding. The SOTU is more or less constitutionally mandated, but these days it’s a mere mishmash of handouts, false promises, and applause lines.
I have an outside hope that things might change in the future. Can you imagine McCain delivering a standard SOTU speech? “Sit the fuck down and let me finish my goddamn sentence, you motherfucking sycophants. You, over there! Do you even know what a sycophant IS?”
Obama would give a longwinded speech, but at least I’d be able to listen to it.
But if it’s Hillary or Romney, we’re in for 4 (or 8!) more years of the same old droning crap.
As a future-Berliner, I love the photo caption 🙂

Would that be Chris St. James the fraudulent telemarketer?

Hmmm. Maybe. I guess.
But why do I have the feeling that the holes in the “checks and balances” system of democratic government that bush exposed will resonate down through the remaining history of the american empire?
So much of this system, it turns out, was built on people who ultimately believed in the system just voluntarily following the rules, and when some crazed criminal thugs decided to completely ignore the rules and conventions it turned out there was nothing that could be done to stop them.
I think Cheney figured this out long ago and he just needed to find a puppet willing to leave a horrid legacy of lawbreaking and constitution-shredding to execute his “vision”.
Remember he was mandated to FIND the bush running mate. But he could see the gold in the dirt. He knew he could change the system for good.
And fuck if he didn’t go ahead and do it.
It will take a full scale revolution to find our way back to the democracy of FDR, Kennedy and even Clinton. And the nation that emerges from that revolution will not include the entirety of the United States as constituted today, as many will choose a more authoritarian government. For reasons I frankly cannot understand. I remember hearing about people who came to America from the Soviet union in the seventies being overwhelmed by all the choices and options. And I think there are people who need to have the choices narrowed for them. And I don’t want to live in their world.
I think of Las Vegas and Denver in “The Stand”. And I’m glad again I’m just not gonna be around that much longer…
mikey
If you lefty turds hate America so much why don’t you move to Cuba or Venezuela or one of your other communist “paradises”. You people are all a bunch of talk, you would never survive living in a cardboard box in Venezuela with out your i-pods filled with anti-American garbage music or without your pot and bong. It is true that all of your so called communist “paradises” Cuba, Venezulela, North Korea, Bolivia are among the poorest nations on the face of the earth. Face it liberals SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK! You leftwing wackos love to talk the talk but lets see you walk the walk and try to live in one of your backward socialist nations of extreme poverty which if you liberals got your way would be America someday.
And add a new personality to the Sibyl-like dogpile that is Garysaulboogervin.
Welcome to the fray, “Chris St. James”. Enjoy your time in the killfile.
See, Gary/Bastion/Saul/Chris, the thing with sockpuppetry is that you should say different things under the different names. “Chris” at 3:37 and “Gary” at 3:48 both saying the exact same thing in the exact same words, grammatical errors and all, made me laugh and laugh.
Chris, mom just said dinner’s ready…
I laughed, too! I agree with Vin Scully, who is insightful and probably very handsome!
See, junior? Like that.
Buttmissile
Just read this as “Buttsimile”.
Omygod! An “Unter den Linden” reference on a bolg!
Buttsmile.
The left is going to be in complete and udder shock come November when Mitt Romney is elected President and continues the Reagan/Bush conservative legacy!
On second thought, it doesn’t mean he can’t be crucified too.
Quite so, which raises an interesting question about other, better-known martyrs and their respective crucifixions.
Hmmm, John McCain is the projected winner in Florida. Guess those great “heartland” conservatives just don’t want it bad enough this year.
Would this be the same Chris St.James who hosts a nude photography site?
If anyone can explain to me in small, monosyllabic words why these asshats come to this blog to spew this uninteresting crap as if it might be advancing their agenda, I’m all ears.
But it’s a little like Obama trying to appeal to evangelical southern christians. Dood. They ain’t listening….
mikey
Mikey, I salute your assessment of the vile Cheney. On the other hand, as another of the more chronologically-advanced Sadlynauts, I also feel there is much to be said in favor of living long enough to piss on the graves of Cheney, George the Lesser, and as many of his cronies, supporters and coatholders as I can comfortably visit.
And, yes, I’m sure there *will* be long lines, even during inclement weather. I’m thinking a conversion facility for fertilizer production will be a steady if modest profit center.
which raises an interesting question about other, better-known martyrs and their respective crucifixions.
Future generations will recite poetry about the culture-hero Hyndrækr and how he hung for nine days and nine nights from the cosmic power-pole Yggdrasil in order to gain knowledge of txting.
Yep, time to add another name to the kill list. It’s really hard not to engage total idiocy. Best not to see it.
The terrorists know that the surge has worked.
Moment of Zen
The surge is working and the terrorists have been routed. Iraq is no longer going to be an issue come November as the country is now completely under American control. Looks to me like a Republican victory ahead in both the White House and the Congress.
I like pie.
“udder shock”
Mr. St. James sure does like him some bovines.
I sucked Jeff Gannon’s cock, and he didn’t even charge me!
so, i’m curious. If blogging existed in 1998, and someone (say, I dunno, Digby, why not) and said;
“The 20-minute speech on January 10, 1998, was not Clinton’s most eloquent. And it wasn’t greeted with applause. Republicans condemned the economy and Democrats were mostly silent. Polls showing strong public opposition to the war in Serbia were unaffected.
But the president, as best I could tell, wasn’t looking for affirmation. He was focused solely on getting more blowjobs.”
What do you suppose the reaction would have been? Cause that’s pretty much what this dude wrote.
Theory #1: Reichtard trolls are stupid. Since they only learn what little they know through dogged repetition, they think that repeating the latest RNC lies, talking points, and propaganda is the best way to “win” both the arguments they believe themselves engaged in with us, and new converts to their political cult. They’re like my little dog: she’s been yelling doggy threats and obscenities at the mail carriers for more than thirteen years now, and it has not *once* deterred them from rudely dumping their paper-crap on *her* porch, yet she continues to threaten them every ghoddamned time because, well, she’s stupid like that. And when the carriers ignore her (literally) toothless and increasingly hysterical threats, leave their burdens, and depart, she wags her tail proudly and marches back to her fuzzy pouf, convinced she has nobly routed Teh Enemy and defended her territory.
Theory #2: Reichtard trolls get paid to show up on their assigned progressive blogs and spew crap. Unprovable, because nobody really cares enough to track these pathetic human spambots down, and they don’t have to submit W2s for the subminimum wages we assume they’re getting. Probably this is a subset of Theory #1, since the “payment” may be no more substantial than the warm trollish glow of feeling that they have defended their cult’s honor (by piddling on our bloggish carpets)…
If blogging existed in 1998, and someone (say, I dunno, Digby, why not) and said […] “The 20-minute speech on January 10, 1998, was not Clinton’s most eloquent….
If Bill Clinton ever gave a 20-minute speech, it was preceded by a 20-minute speech. And followed by a 25-minute speech.
Mr. St. James,
Did the glorious militarystud4you’s meat bayonet taste like Bush taint?
Ms Laurie,
Roog! Roog! Roog!
Speaking of reichtards, Ghouliani has officially dropped out of the race, after underperforming even Cheney’s low threshold of popularity.
OMG, I am so voting for Alan Keyes now!!
Chris St.James…poor little trolls, all by their lonesome. Good thing they have so many aliases.
Cheney/Bush have shown us many weaknesses in our system: the Justice Department needs to be made separate from the Executive Branch. Perhaps we should elect the Atty. General, or at least have a much more stringent approval process.
The Constitution MANDATES a free Press, meaning *NO* Corporate Media Monopolies. That must be rectified ASAP.
And all elections should be Publicly Financed, there can be no argument about that. The truly evil influence of Corporate Lobbies must be eliminated.
That is just the Beginning of setting things right.
This is like if you ran into Christopher Hitchens on the street, and Hitchens was like, “I forgot to have a drink this afternoon, but I nipped into a bar just in time for the 10-cent Buffalo wings.”
This is like running into (m)Ann Coulter on the street, and Coulter was like, “I forgot to take my estrogen injection this afternoon, but I nipped into a Victoria’s Secret just in time for the 10-for-$10 panty sale.”

Job One after we pry Chimpy’s boney little hands off the stanchions of Marine One will be coping with the shitstorms he’s been keeping a lid on.

It is more a question of “Why does the Great Gazoogle know so much about Chris St. James?” It is certainly suspicious. If the rumour about some sort of business link between them is in fact untrue, this is the time to deny it.
Dairy farmers are familiar with the problem of ‘udder shock’, which they prevent by pre-warming the cups on the milking machine on cold winter mornings.

Dear Sir(s): I am writing to express my disappointment in the recent quality of Trolls at Sadly, No. I was away for a few months and, upon returning, noticed some alarming trends. First of all, the ‘Gary’ troll seems to have lost any conversational ability, however limited it was to begin with. Then, the ‘Saul’ troll seemed destined to take over, but somehow never seemed to be able to make that final push over the top. After that, the personality-less ‘Booger’ troll was created, and now your new troll seems to have trouble keeping its identities straight.
I have always admired S,N for its ability to raise and nuture trolls, but if this recent lackluster troll performance continues, the site will surely decline, and may even lose its coveted Michelin Star.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Marsupial.

F.O. fake gary, I have it on good authority that Obama s a socialist, trained in Chaves’s camps in the Amazon, must be true, I heard it Hugh Hewwit!
As for all that applauding at the SOTU, what a pile of shite, after 8 years of getting shafted, if a was a dem congressman, I would be heckling, and if I was Nancy Pelosi, i would be making stupid faces as Bush talked (or punching Cheney, one of the two).
If anyone can explain to me in small, monosyllabic words why these asshats come to this blog to spew this uninteresting crap as if it might be advancing their agenda, I’m all ears.
Theory #3: They just like to act like assholes, and messing up our conversation is one way to do it.
Before everyone gets all excited by Obama’s charisma, remember he’s a left-wing extremist and that even Hitler had charisma.
Hitler had charisma
Obama had charisma
Obama is a liberal
Therefore, liberals are fascists. This is central to my point.
Re:Theory #3
Yep,but it’s not JUST being assholes(though that is a prerequisite. Happy,well adjusted humans tend not to be overly mean and stupid). The whole idea is to stop the conversation dead in the hopes it doesn’t go anywhere. It usually works too, unfortunately. Free Speechus Interruptus. So much for that marketplace of ideas and the like.
IMO,trolls should be banned and deleted. I liken them to having guests in my home,if they shit all over the rug,kick the dog around and smack my kids,they get their asses kicked out the door,down the stairs and yes,offa my damned lawn. They are free to be assholes, ALL BY THEMSELVES. Their rights and freedoms end there. Nowhere does it say I have to smile and tolerate it or allow it while engaging that craziness.
There’s a huge difference between starting the fight and fighting back. If they actually wanted to discuss differences in opinions or solutions to problems,that’s a whole different thing. It’s not tromping on their free speech in the least to bar them from crapping all over other people.
If my kid is disrupting class at school,he’s the one who’s gonna get booted out of class because he’s stopping the other kids from getting their education. And rightly so. Part of the problem we’re having in America right now is allowing this kind of crap to just go on with the old”ignore the bully and they’ll go away” advice that has never worked,least of all nowadays.
/end of my old lady rant.

Yeah, excellent point angry old broad. Smarter people don’t like to be ignored, but people like Booger/Saul/Gary/Chris are stupid enough to get off on smelling their own B.O. in the thread. Ignoring them may not, in itself, be enough of a deterrent.
The fact is, it is liberals who are like bullies when it comes to free speech. OK for them and not for us, constantly shutting us up with biased media, academia and PC codes throughout to limit reasoned discourse on important issues. For example, the gays. To say gay is not good is treated with direason threats and speech code appeal, when it is valid point, after all, most people are NTO gay why do they have to shover their lifestyle down our throats, and all we have to do is agree as our children are brainwahed, marriage is debased and our society slips closer to decay and God’s punishment.
Not nearly as fun as James St James.
The fact is Gary,if you really were here to engage people in adult conversation you would. Instead you shit and vomit all over ever fucking conversation because you can’t find a way to actually bring something of value to the table. No one’s taking away your right to be an asshole,just go ahead be an asshole by yourself without inflicting it on everyone else. When you can behave like a decent human being,then maybe you can join the rest of us again. Of course,Sadly No! is not my virtual living room so I don’t make the rules,but if it were,that would be my rule.
If you gave a damn about your country,you’d be looking for ways to solve problems that were do-able,instead of advocating punishment for every single blessed thing that’s gone wrong. If you hate liberals so much,then go on with your little bad self over to Red State or wherever.
I tend to prefer “disemvoweling” trolls, like they do over at Making Light and Boing Boing. Removing the vowels from a troll screed means it’s still possible to read it, if you really want to–but you really have to want to. Freedom of speech is preserved.
Disemvowelling Gary would make him completely indecipherable – although his latest post above is pretty damn near incomprehensible even with its vowels.
Are we all waiting for Rudy’s dump speech?
Not nearly as fun as James St James.
What about Susan St. James?
