Tonight should be interesting. If I were still in college, I’d propose creating a drinking game based on this speech. Drink a beer after every lie. Drink a beer every time Bush says “freedom,” or talks about September 11 as if those attacks had anything to do with Iraq. Drink two beers after every wildly unrealistic assessment that has no basis in fact. Drink a beer and a shot every time he says “Nukular.” Two beers, a shot and a kick to the head every time he thanks the troops around him for the sacrifices “we” know must be made. Anyone still standing after ten minutes wins a Kewpie doll.
