Getting Sloppy At the SOTU

Well it’s that time of year again where President Bush comes off the ranch and performs his State of the Union Address. For eight years now we’ve been living through these speeches - GOP fear rhetoric, strange mispronunciations of common English words, thinly veiled attempts to make George Bush appear to be the reincarnate of John Wayne and the awkward vision of Dick Cheney sitting in the background looking as if he is about to take his last breath.

It is only logical that we naysayers employ a well-defined political strategy to undermine the true relevance of the SOTU: The SOTU drinking game.

Here are some responses off the 2007 SOTU Drinking Game Website, which included a rule of one tequila shot every time “illegal immigration” was mentioned:

“I couldn’t feel my face…that was the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen.”

“[This game] is a danger… holy s**t. 5 beers in a half hour and I’m *behind*. BEHIND….Damn you!…*shakes fist*”

“25 minute into speech and slipping beneath tabl3, thanks for great game’.”

So get your game face on for Bush’s last SOTU next Monday on January 28th starting at 9 PM (Eastern). And be sure to send any absurdities that occur to absurdities80@gmail.com.

The rules for this year’s game will be posted at:
