The best way to figure out if Bush gave a truly great speech about Malaria or whatever is, obviously, to go to the partisan political blogs and get the objective blogosphere truth. Let’s do it!
National Review Online: Nancy Pelosi’s sour face (see John Pod), her hopping up to applaud the reference to Darfur (see Mark Steyn)–all this was very annoying, I’ll grant. But what mattered tonight were the words and performance of George W. Bush. Both proved better–far better–than I’d expected. Yes, he began with some therapeutic-sounding nonsense about “making life better” ….
DailyKos: Is there anyone in the United States who will actually believe anything George Bush has to say tonight in the State of the Union address?
RedState: I can’t even begin to fathom what went through what’s left of the WH brain trust. Well, we need a home run shot to recapture political momentum. War? Nope. Something for the base? Ok, everyone, stop laughing. I know! Let’s tax medical benefits!
Huffington Post: The right in the US is defined not by the Constitution, but by history and tradition. The first principle of this tradition is “Don’t tread on me”. It is a tradition of genocide, slavery, arms-bearing violence and vigilantism, religious fanaticism, environmental exploitation, and sheer greed; it is a “try and stop me” tradition that Bush and Cheney epitomize.
