"dikembe mutombo grew up in Africa amongst poverty and disease"
could someone let me know what country Africa is?
The irony of this is his country (Zaire) no longer exists and has been fractured into the "Democratic" Republic of Congo, a country that has seen a civil war responsible for the deaths of an estimated 4 million since the late 90s.
Couldn't even watch this year. Caught on the radio this morning part of the State of the Union from 2002 I think, and it sounded so striking when Bush was laying out what we now know to be lies about the Iraq situation. Pretty damn depressing in retrospect, especially when it wasn't all that believable in the first place.
I like how he starts off saying "I'm not gonna waste my (your) time rebutting all that bullshit."
"These Presidents [TR & Ike] took the right kind of action, for the benefit of the American people and for the health of our relations around the world.
Tonight we are calling on this President to take similar action, in both areas.
If he does, we will join him...
If he does not, we will be showing him the way.[/b]"
its not a big surprise to have the majority of people throw insults at the speech and name check a NBA center, is there any republicans on this board who are willing to give a little insight into what they felt they got from the speech?
BTW that (former secretary of the navy under Reagan) Jim Webb response is
I was glad to see my man from NY who rescued the guy who fell on the tracks a few weeks ago get some shine. He enjoyed that moment, too.
Yeah, those were the best moments, those Whitman-esque "I Hear America Singing" moments. The guy looked like he was on the verge of tears. Did you notice the serviceman's chest start to heave up and down when Bush was telling his story?
I get the mutsache. Peter will be carrying ours forward.
