One Last Thing About the State of the Union Address

It’s been bugging me all week. President Bush’s approval rating is in the toilet. Seventy percent of the American people are against his Iraq policies and oppose his plan to send 21,000 more troops into the mess. The world at large can’t stand him.
And yet how many boot-licking members of Congress were lining up to get Bush’s autograph after he delivered his stupefying speech and was walking out of the House chamber? It seemed like there were scores of these clowns handing over their program to the president like he was a rock star or a baseball player. When did this autograph hounding begin, anyway?
Best of all was Eliot Engel, the Democrat from the Bronx who never fails to get his mug into the camera at the end of the state of the union. It’s practically a tradition. He did it again! With his signature glasses and mustachio, he’s the Where’s Waldo of Congress. Engel never disappoints.
