Quick Impressions of the State of the Union Address

I just watched Bush’s speech, and I really liked it. The widescreen, high definition picture and digital sound made it seem like Bush was in my living room… and slightly larger than I expected him to be. It would have been nice if he had made more use of the five channels, though, by perhaps throwing some object so we could hear it land behind us. Also, if he had a tank barge into the room, that could make for some great LFE effects.
I guess that’s all I have to say.
UPDATE: The Democratic response is in HD too. Maybe they’ll make better use of the medium by having some digital effects and explosions… but I doubt it.
Ooh! Whines in digital quality sound! It’s like they’re there in front of me, and I can barely hold back my punch response. Come on, Frank; don’t hurt your Toshiba.

  1. What a kick-ass performance! (IMHO.)
    As I say elsewhere (hint, hint), Teddy looked like the boozy uncle who we REALLY need to do something about THIS year, dear…. While Hillary looked as if she’d been fished out of the river after three days or so. And how about Charlie Rangel catching some Zzzz’s on national TV?
    And who the hell gives a flying rat’s ass what Nancy Pelosi thinks?
    This was not the speech of a President hoping to nurse a lead and coast to reelection. It was the rhetorical equivalent of “Go ahead. Make my day.”
    BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  2. My impessions:
    Give Tom Daschle red, messed-up hair, and you have another Chucky, but with less character.
    Nancy Pelosi looks like one of the Animatronic figures at Disneylandworldempire. I swear I heard the servos whirring.
    Ted Kennedy looks like a huge zit. “Quick, Sis, bring the Clearasil!”
    Did the Dim-O-crats have magnetic butt locks to keep them in their chairs? I could see Daschle and Pelosi pressing red buttons all night.

  3. I really want to know if they added the list of allied countries before or after Howard Dean’s meltdown. As much fun as Bush seemed to be having giving the state of the union, I was kind of hoping he’d give in and tack on a little dean-scream. I know I did…

  4. I didn’t want to watch the democrats, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Nancy Pelosi’s face. It’s been stretched so tight I bet she can’t close her eyes at night and we know she can’t shut her mouth. Scary.

  5. Definitely the best part of the speech:
    “Key provisions of the PATRIOT Act are set to expire next year.”
    (Mindless Democrats cheer)
    “The terrorist threat will not expire on that schedule.”
    (Democrats all but cry, “Doh!”)
    A beautiful piece of theater.
