I thought the speech was kind of vague in comparison with last year. This vagueness is a political tactic.

The attorney general of Massachusetts is selectively choosing which laws to enforce. Gay couples wishing to marry should not be disadvantaged by unfair, selective treatment. Homosexuals must have the same marriage rights as heterosexual couples when it comes to both law and the enforcement of law.

Support for freedom, support for independence from Middle Eastern oil-they're things you can't really argue against.

One should not only abstain from 'sinful-deeds' but also from 'sinful- speech' and 'sinful-thought'. By doing so we pave our way to success and peace.

I heard versions of the speech before and I thought it was great. You go with your 'A' material. As an old comic, that's what I say. Go with your 'A' material.

I thought the Middle Eastern part [of President Bush's State of the Union speech] was grossly exaggerated, given the percentage they supply. It's hard to pick out one part of the world as being more unstable than another part, especially if you're projecting 20, 25 years out.
