Bush said: “Tonight, I have a high privilege and distinct honor of my own — as the first President to begin the State of the Union message with these words: Madam Speaker. In his day, the late Congressman Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr., from Baltimore, Maryland, saw Presidents Roosevelt and Truman at this rostrum. But nothing could compare with the sight of his only daughter, Nancy, presiding tonight as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Congratulations.”
FACT — BUSH SUGGESTED ‘TERRORISTS WIN’ IF PELOSI ELECTED SPEAKER: “[President Bush] mocked [Pelosi] as ‘a secret admirer’ of tax cuts and an opponent of measures crucial to keeping Americans safe, warning that ‘terrorists win and America loses’ if her Democrats prevailed on Election Day”; “Setting the Record Straight: Rep. Pelosi Downplays Progress In Iraq.” [AP, 11/6/06; White House fact sheet, 12/7/05]
Bush dislikes Pelosi but nonetheless she kisses up to him which is pathetic! Bush is NOT a rock star, so the Congress should treat him like a silly clown and just laugh at him!
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:15 pmHe starts spewing crap, and never stops…
I hope Nancy smiled REAL BIG for that one.
Up yours, Chimp.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:16 pmi must say…
the image behind his left shoulder is much more pleasant this time…
his remarks to speaker pelosi were commendable…
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:16 pmobligatory, but commendable none the less…
respect for the office, jay…
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:17 pmhere it comes… health care…
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:20 pmyep – “2 new initiatives”…
katy > Bush is NOT a decent man, so he gets zero respect from me!
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:20 pmIf Pelosi was scowling or rude, she’d never hear the end of it.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:21 pmThose were probably the most offensive remarks in the recent campaign. A vote for democrats is a vote for the terrorists. Fear is their mantra and it has to stop.
Pelosi is being respectful. She is also the smartest person in that picture. She knows what will be going on in the next 6 months.
Get a good look at Cheney because you won’t see him in public for quite some time.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:22 pmBush is Nancy’s bitch.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:31 pmVery appropriate and gracious words of welcome from President Bush to Speaker Pelosi. Disagree as you might about Dubya’s policies, it is beyond dispute that he is a decent and honorable man.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:50 pmExley > please be sane on here > Bush is NOT a decent NOR honorable man!
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:09 pmYou’re kidding, right Jay?
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:11 pmTo clarify, I asked Jay if he was kidding that Exley should start acting sane now.
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:12 pmPelosi definitly sucked up
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:31 pmPelosi kissed up
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:34 pmKevin, see #9
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:43 pmI don’t think thats played out yet (Bush is Nancy’s bitch)
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:48 pmThis was the vision I waited to see – left to right, Cheney perched like a vulture, the dry drunk, and……… NANCY! Sure easier on the eyes than that lard-tub (and pedophile apologist) Hastert.
