I could not watch it, I wanted to toss things at the TV and the family was not happy with that behaviour. So I settled for the transcript. The best synopsis so far has to be SK Bubba's.
Now what's up the Prisoner Release thing ... this from the Executioner of Texas? Has Chuckles Colson gotten deeper into White House Policy than any convicted felon should? And why are we going to spend more time and effort on screwing with the constitution over Gay Marriage than we should? Is Bush like still in the closet or something?
The pitiful insistence on Abstinence Education is another point that's a sop to the christo-fascists. A recent study of them god-fearin' Minnesotans showed that parents wanted Sex Ed and Abstinence education taught, because no one approach is a panacea.
Overall, if this is the creature facing Clark, Dean or Kerry in November, it's gonna be a win. Not a walk, but a win. He's an empty suit folks, just read the transcript.
Motto for 2004: No Republican Left in Office.

Bingo, Jo: Just think of this as the "No Fundamentalist left behind" speech, and everything else falls into place.
I am happy to say that, although I didn't actually watch it, reading up on the SOTU and how it seems to be bringing the Anti-Bush Brigade closer together, my faith in kicking Bush out on his ass has been renewed.
