Bush's State of the Union

I'd like to put out there (along with millions of other Americans) that I'm dismally appalled and ashamed of the comments Bush put forth in his latest State of the Union address. It's great for buzzword study; all he did was mash some historical facts together (a.k.a. we won WWII, beat the Russians to Auschwitz and other labor camps, and apparently he refers to himself as a Jedi by saying "faced down an evil empire,") and top it off with idealistic fancies of individuality, compassion, freedom and democracy.

To see the speech for yourself, check out http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/31/AR2006013101468.html. The "Post" also has a great tally-chart at the beggining of the article catalogging the number of times Bush mentions the words freedom, Iraq, AIDS, democracy, and other gems. Enjoy.
