January 23, 2007, Party Bondage discipline
Now a "bi-partisan" resolution to tell the President "No Surge" is floating through the Senate, this time put forth by Virginia's John Warner, backed by sorta-Republican Susan Collins of Maine and the GOP's Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
This is presumably not what the President wants to hear going into the State of the Union address tonight... but then, the President has made it very clear he doesn't listen to Democrats, polls, the public, reason, our allies... or members of his own party who say things he doesn't want to hear. Someone suggested that a non-binding resolution on "no surge" would have as much effect as the Senate holding its collective breath until senators passed out.
Anyway, don't expect to hear much about The SurgeTM tonight. In fact, other than a potential huge throbbing whopper of a lie that the President may throw in involving a Zarqawi-bin Laden plot to smuggle in 19 terrorists into the U.S. (note the number!), it'll be something else... No, other than possibly that huge throbbing whopper of a lie, expect meaningless drivel on non-proposal proposals for domestic agenda, most of which are industry lobbyist driven non-starters... in short, Bill Clinton very lite, but without the charisma, or charm, or ability to pronounce the English language...
Now... as to YOU, Warner...

I'm watching SOTU tonight because I look forward to watching bush fall flat on his ass. As they say in show biz: he'll stink up the joint.
Now here's my prediction: this SOTU will be remembered not for the speech itself but for the rebuttal. Webb will deliver a memorable stemwinder & establish himself as a force to be reckoned with.
Well, a girl can dream....

I am waiting for the cliff notes on gw's speech.
But I wish I could know when Webb starts without having to look at gw.
