Liveblogging Bush's final State of the Union Speech

It's been a long time since I've done one of these, but tonight I'll be here liveblogging George Bush's final State of the Union speech beginning at 9pm ET.

Also, here's a look back at Jim Webb's rebuttal to Bush's State of the Union speech last year:

George Bush admits it's time to leave Iraq

A bit of Sunday morning humor courtesy of our bumbling-idiot-in-chief:

Hey everyone, while we slept Dick Cheney was President

That's right America! While you were sleeping, and nursing those pesky hangovers, Dick Cheney became your 44th President, and then died got cold feet and bailed on us!

President Bush transferred the powers of his office to Vice President Dick Cheney for more than two hours Saturday while under sedation for a colon cancer screening.

Hot!!

George Bush requires a personal oath of loyalty?

BURN!
Patrick Leahy: And then you said, I took an oath to the President, and I take that oath very seriously. Did you mean, perhaps, you took an oath to the Constitution?

Sara Taylor: Uh, I, uh, yes, you're correct, I took an oath to the Constitution. Uh, but, what--

Leahy: Did you take a second oath to the President?

Taylor: I did not. I--

Leahy: So the answer was incorrect.

Taylor: The answer was incorrect. What I should have said is that, I took an oath, I took that oath seriously. And I believe that taking that oath means that I need to respect, and do respect, my service to the President.

Leahy: No, the oath says that you take an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States. That is your paramount duty. I know that the President refers to the government being his government -- it's not. It's the government of the people of America. Your oath is not to uphold the President, nor is mine to uphold the Senate. My oath, like your oath, is to uphold the Constitution.
