Message from AIPAC

President George W. Bush’s sixth State of the Union address was delivered Wednesday in an atmosphere of crisis when Cheney giving Madam Speaker Pelosi a message from the AIPAC.

The media made much of it, but the prevailing mood was not so much political confrontation as general bewilderment and apprehension, that such a group of rapists and embezzlers could tell America what to do.

A president who, as multiple polls released this week have underscored, is the most despised and useless occupant of the White House since time began, was treated to sullen silence for most of the time in the House of Representatives.
