Thank God, Shrub's last State of the Union address is over, that is, unless he decides to declare martial law and make himself president for life, since he continues to defy the Constitution and impeachment is off the table.

As Dennis Kucinich has said, "We already know the State of the Union; it's a lie."

ThinkProgress has postings, with accompanying facts, on the torrent of lies spewing from Dubya's mouth last evening.  He considers himself the imperial, above-the-law, damn-the-Constitution president so he constantly insists that members of Congress must agree to everything he demands and, unfortunately, most of the time they do.

In addition to lies, hypocrisy is also his strong suit. One example of Bush's SOTU hypocrisy was his condemnation of earmark spending by Congress.  As usual, Dubya's "do as I say, not as I do" is always at the forefront.

In an article in The Hill this past summer it was reported that, "A House Appropriations Committee report accompanying legislation funding the Department of the Interior shows that Bush requested 93 of the 321 earmarks in the bill. A panel report for the financial services and general government spending bill showed that Bush requested 17 special projects worth $947 million, more than any single member of Congress.

"Senate appropriators have identified more than 350 earmarks in the military construction spending bill requested by the president."

When asked for a justification for this apparent deceitfulness, Sean Kevelighan, press secretary for the White House budge office, ".....said it is unfair to compare earmark requests made by the president with requests made by members of Congress because the projects Bush asks for undergo a rigorous review process that does not apply to congressional requests.
“ 'You’re being provided an apples-and-oranges comparison,' he said."

Translation: How dare you question his imperial majesty, King George the Lesser!

A rigorous review process by White House Bushites?  When pigs can fly! 

And thus the lies continued last evening as they have throughout Pinnochio Bush's years in office while he and his Bushite flunkies have inflicted almost irreparable damage on this nation.

And impeachment is still off the table?
