I'm not writing about the State of the Union speech since I'm sure that others will have more cogent analyses than I could write. I would like to just make a few comments.
I don't know if it was just Fox, but when Bush mentioned frivolous lawsuits in regard to health care, the camera zoomed in on Sleazy, (John Edwards), one of the Seven Dwarfs running for the Dimocratic presidential nomination.
Everytime they showed Tom Dasshole he had a big ol' frown on his face.
Hillary looked like crap, but at least this year she pretended to listen better.
But, there was sumpin' much more important than the State of the Union speech. My spy at Barbra Streisand's estate sent me a copy of her latest fax.
To: Senator Tom Dashhole
From: Barbra Streisand
Tim, I just don't understand it. I sent a fax to Dork Gotfart and to Senator Jake Leeberman and neither of them responded to me. As I'm sure you are aware, I give a lot of money to the Democratic Party because I believe in what the party stands for. I have been fascinated by politics ever since Bill Clinton gave me a book written by Jefferson. Was I ever surprised! I didn't know George Jefferson wrote a book. I wonder if Weezey helped him? I haven't gotten past the first page yet, but what I have read so far is fascinating!
Ted, with the sad results of the Republicans taking control of the Senate, I am so glad that you are still there as majority leader. I feel so much better that you decided to remain as majority leader and not run for president as I have decided to throw my support to Jimmy Looberman. We Jews have to stick together, y'know.
I asked John why he was called the 'conscious of the Senate' but, since he didn't reply maybe you could explain it to me. Do a lot of senators sleep and is he in charge of keeping them awake?
Another thing I don't understand is this temporary pro president office that Richard Bird holds. Does that mean that sometimes he's a professional president and other times he's an amateur president? And how does that work? I thought Neil Bush was president.
I'm really concerned about this thing going on with Sadman Hussein. All of my Hollywood friends say that we should give peace a chance. I talked to that cute little Shawn Penn who went to Iraq and he said he didn't see any bad weapons so we shouldn't be talking about war. Why don't we send Jimmy Carter to negotiate? After all, he won that Noble Piece Prize, so I guess that means that some piece of him is noble, right? So Sadham would be negotiating with nobility, which should impress him. Jamie has been successful in every other conflict he's negotiated, right?
So, Tod, one more thing. I'm really upset that Jeb Bush, our selected, not elected, president, has come out against the admissions policy at the University of Michigan. I am all for adding points because someone is African-American. In fact, I think we should do that at the Democratic Convention next year. I think we should give Al Sharpton an additional 200 delegates to level the playing field and right past wrongs. What do you think, Tad?
I really need to find out who does Rev. Al's hair. Do you know?
Luv ya,
Babs
