Bush remembered Dikembe Mutumbo and the BabyEinstein lady, but there was a more pressing matter left out of his State of the Union address. In BushWorld, New Orleans hasn't changed since Spring Break 1966!!! Bush's words both present and past ring hollow when one realizes that Senate Republicans filibustered the House's minimum wage increase because it's not attached to business tax cuts, and that election workers in Ohio were convicted for tampering with the recount of the 2004 recount. Jared and Ralph bring these issues to light in a postscript to our State of the Union dissection.
