Nice agenda if you can get it.

The big suspense about the State of the Union address was whether Cindy Sheehan would get a chance to stand up in the chamber and try to embarrass the president with more of her shilling for the Moonbat Left. It all appears to have been choreographed, complete with blogads for a "Free Cindy" fundraising scheme. She wasn't actually thrown in jail, but she did violate the rules against political demonstrations in the building by wearing an anti-Bush tee-shirt and was not allowed to be seated.

Bush's speech was, like every other SOTU, great if you're in the President's party and dull and predictable if you're not. As advertised, he made some bold proposals, but you can promise the moon when it's the Congress that has to deliver. You can almost see his words being twisted as they come out of his mouth.

If it weren't for the opportunity for free air time, I'd just as soon read it or watch it on video without all the cheering and interruptions. I agree with just about everything he said, but I'm not convinced that anything will be done about entitlements or that it is scientifically feasible to wean us from cheap oil, except by making it expensive. His shopping list of spending on alternate energy sounds like pie in the sky, except for nuclear energy, which the Democrats oppose more strongly than they did Justice Alito.
