Bush spoke to us in tired, simplistic platitudes as though we are children. Jim Webb's eloquent rebuttal spoke to us as grownups.
In previous SOTU's, Bush tended to have the clear (if ludicrously wrong) message, and the Democrats' response tended to be somewhat stiff and full of vague catchphrases like "We CAN do better!" But this time around, Webb -- to use his own line -- showed Bush the way. Props to the Dems for choosing him.
