I probably wont watch it. I'll give it a shot, but I honestly hate listening to Bush speak. Right or wrong, he sounds like he's reciting hiku with his "four words per breath" speaking style.

Fortunately, the transcripts will be available tomorrow, and I can skip to the good parts, and avoid the "Here in the audience tonight is Sgt Bob Johnson of the 31st  Marine Exp. Unit. Stg Johnson will be going to Iraq in the morning, and his family will benefit from my tax plan"  
I might give it a shot with closed captioning tonight though.

I will endure through Bush's style of speech to hear what he has to say.

He will not announce an attack on Iraq.

I think he will tell us that Iraq's time is near if they don't come up with something very fast. He will announce that the solid evidence concerning a matierial breech by Iraq will be revealed within 2 weeks. He will spend a little time trying to rally the nation on this issue.

He will counter Clinton's attacks on Home Security and his post 9/11 performance in making Americans more secure.

He will allude to the racial issues.

He will talk optimistically about the economy and one or two other domestic issues.

I particularly enjoy listening to the various analysis' afterwards.

Eh, my eyes work as well as my ears, and they all just feed that information to my brain, which seems to be functioning (spelling aside Sandman... I went to Burroughs, cut me some slack) :)

Just so I can laugh at Duhhhhbya as he mangles the english language in another speech, and blabbers about the "massive piles" of WMD in Iraq.....the ones they can't seem to find.

Chimpy as president brings to mind the movie Forrest Gump, what we're seeing now was left on the cutting room floor after the final edit.

Thats the best you could do?  Go drink some terpintine and come back when you feel up to telling us what you REALLY think.  (PS: If the paint thinner tastes bad, its W.'s fault)
