Kathleen Sebelius Delivered "Pelosi Lite" or "That was a Rebuttal?"

What did you do Kathleen? What were you thinking? Your spineless attempt at rebuttal went down like flavorless, cold oatmeal. You lightly breezed over every one of George W. Bush's arrogant statements along with each and every one of his many threats and lies. We kept waiting for you to speak truth to arrogance, to stand up for the restoration of our Constitution, to honor religious freedom, to mention ending the illegal war against Iraq, or at least, to warn George W. Bush that his time as King is "short". We waited. We watched and listened. We waited for NOTHING.

You were "chosen for some reason" to deliver a counterargument but that is not what you did. The only thing memorable about your endless verbiage was that your voice and words were reminiscent of supermarket freezer music - that calming, sedative muzak they play to drug you into the safety of spending more as you shop. What a trance-inducing speech. Absolutely "zombfying"!

How tragic that the American people have been "Pelosied" yet again by the Democratic Party. Subjected to Bush's "I want my legacy" State of the Union Address, all hopes for a resounding rebuttal were dashed when Kathleen Sebelius sprinkled happy fairy dust upon the adult audience while cooing, "we're all friends now, not to worry darlings, sleep well". The inexplicable poor choice of Democratic Governor Sebelius to deliver the rebuttal to George "the Worst president ever" Bush's last formalized bit of effusive twaddle, was a slap in the face of every discerning, progressive Democratic voter in America. Who in the muddle that calls itself the Democratic Party, made this uninspired, disastrous decision?

The tepid, bland, pointless, asskissing delivered by Kathleen Sebelius was the most disappointing and conciliatory speech that Democrats have advanced thus far. It stank of sabotage. Sebelius's Chamberlain-esque appeal to the two-term "Mini Me" tyrant came off like that of a victimized female trying to sugar her abuser into less violence upon her body, "I ask that ..... I plead, I pray, I beg..... I will do what ever you want, your Hiney .....

Dorothy and her dog Toto, who also hailed from Kansas, displayed far more character and courage when they faced an adversary, than the governor who spoke this evening. How crucially disappointing that a real democrat, a real woman, and a real inhabitant of Kansas, would, as evidenced by her lackluster, passionless performance tonight, pale by comparison to two fictional characters.

* Note - I had high hopes for tonight's Democratic rebuttal because retired Congressman Lionel Van Deerlin, a respected columnist, and one of my favorites, wrote about the stunning rebuttal one could expect from Governor Sebelius, the daughter of a friend with whom he served long ago. I love reading his column because I learn so much and appreciate his knowledge of history. Perhaps, this time, he did not expect the "Pelosi Effect" or notice how many Americans consider it fashionably patriotic to surf the rising waves of fascism.

There are women in the House and Senate and who have been elected to govern a state who are to be commended. Unfortunately, they do not seem to get as much press as Clinton, Pelosi, Sebelius, Rice, and Feinstein, etc. Could it be that they are busy doing their jobs, don't have hidden agendas, and haven't sold out?

Please, if you know of any, list the women who have been elected to office and are doing a good job in the comments. We all need to know more about them and less about those mentioned above.

Tonight, I was compelled to write what I did
because the speech that needed to be delivered,
was stillborn.
