Democrats - Lame Ducks?

Greetings bearcats!

As I’m sure a few of you know, the president gave his annual address to the nation last Tuesday. The primary topic was the Iraq war, and a few domestic issues. As has been the case for the last 6 years, the popular “buzzwords” such as “terrorism” and “security” were dropped. This I expect from President Bush. What I don’t expect is a Democrat controlled house and senate to take it lying down. I’ll keep my political affiliation to myself for now, but one thing I learned from the time I was an intern at our nations capitol is that divided government works best when the gloves are off.

Congratulations to Democrats for winning over the legislature, however Bush bashing only works for so long. Republicans have perfected the art of spin and a semblance of unification. Democrats need to work on consistency if the group doesn’t want to be the party of “least evil.”
As a side note, didn’t anyone else notice how ticked off Condi Rice looked at the address? That is one smart lady, and it certainly seemed like something was bothering her. Dick Cheney also lost interest in the speech at one point…or at least he stopped standing and clapping to give his ticker a rest. For awhile you could almost see his mouth move as Bush was speaking.
I’ve included a link to an impressionist named Frank Caliendo who does an insane impersonation of Bush and Cheney.
