For the president's critics, the State of the Union was a boring disappointment, filled with half-truths and missed opportunities. He defended an indefensible policy in Iraq; he made ridiculous budget claims, he ignored Katrina reconstruction, and he unveiled awful (and largely rehashed) health care and energy policies. There wasn't much to like.
But as it turns out, Bush's allies were even less impressed. Here's an item that was sent to Focus on the Family's membership yesterday afternoon.
Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for American Values, said the president aimed at the wrong target.
"Frankly, his speech was really a reaction to his critics and to the Democratic House and Senate leadership," she said. "They are the ones who want to talk about global warming. They are the ones who want to say that Iraq is in a shambles. He lost a golden opportunity to set the stage - to describe the issues that were most important to the American people."
Hamrick said Bush, who has two years left in the White House, was trying to be pragmatic but shouldn't have leaned so far toward the liberals.
Yes, the GOP base thought the State of the Union was geared towards the left.
The conservative crack-up continues.
As well it should!
Note to the hasn't-been-right-yet wing: Bush don't need you assholes anymore, so fuck you. He's tryin' to save his ass. He's goin' about it about like a guy tryin' to learn to fly after the trapdoor drops and before the rope runs out. It ain't gonna work, but he's got nuthin' else.
So if the Chimp raises his right ear off the ground a little in his futile attempt, and you think that's leanin' left, live with it, bitchez.
