Saw the Iraq portion of the State of the Union speech.... platitude, applause, posturing, applause. Were Cheney and Hastert cueing the Republicans' reaction, or was there a rehearsal before? The thing was choreographed within an inch of its life. Afterwards, fucking Pumpkinhead Chickenhawk Russert pulling his war face, counting the days until the bombing begins.

The bright spot was local: During a post-address wrap-up, California Dem Chairman Art Torres kicked the crap out of some former Pete Wilson aide. Torres said Bush was destroying the economy in order to "finish his daddy's war."
