State of the Union Address Tonight, Florida Primary Tomorrow

By AndrewHyman

Here's a quote from President Bush's State of the Union Address this evening:

On matters of justice, we must trust in the wisdom of our founders and empower judges who understand that the Constitution means what it says. I've submitted judicial nominees who will rule by the letter of the law, not the whim of the gavel. Many of these nominees are being unfairly delayed. They are worthy of confirmation, and the Senate should give each of them a prompt up-or-down vote.

That they should. Otherwise, the vacancies will likely be filled by the next president, who I hope will be Mitt Romney or John McCain (in that order of preference). Which brings us to this statement from Dave Barry:

It's now a dead heat between Mitt Romney and John McCain, both who are running on the platform that the other one is a lying sack of scum. Meanwhile Rudy Giuliani's shrewd strategy of not entering the race until it was way too late continues to pay dividends in the form of several people who have told pollsters that, no matter what, they still plan to vote for Rudy in the Florida primary, even though they personally reside in New Jersey.

Dave Barry's a funny guy.
