<p>It was hard to sit still and watch his smug bully’s face during the February 2 State of the Union speech. It was infuriating to watch the standing ovations of the surrounding Congress, or hear the fawning patter of the news media.</p> <p>In official traditions, the President tells Congress each year how the "Union" (meaning the United States) is doing.

Bush didn’t dare breathe a word of truth about the <em>real</em> "State of the Union." Bush couldn’t mention how most of the planet thinks he is a bloody cowboy who wants to rule like a new Roman emperor.
