Just think only one more State of the Union with the Manchild in Chief before the whole country move's right along.
Although from the tepid looks of things last night, the whole nation is gradually leaving GWB behind.
Oh he can still maunder away in the House every year with his ever lengthening list of unrealized promises and vague sympathetic noises...but no one was paying attention save only to the parts where Bush had to plead on behalf of his escalation scheme in Iraq. That boils down to a whining pout "just let me get another thousand kids killed and then we'll see if diplomacy will work".
Senator Webb on the other hand made a straightforward and manly impression as the democratic respondent, his rhetoric was blunt without being strident and remarkably free of focus-group driven bromides.
I caught a bit of Chris Matthews afterwards and by 10pm he had long run out of sensible things to say and was reduced to chuckling like an old teachable.
Just one more SoTu with Bush... and then we can forget about him and Dick Cheney everseated behind him glowering murderously at the American Electorate.
