Did anybody see the Democratic Governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius,
give her party's response to Bush's State of the Union speech a couple
of weeks ago. Speaking of emptiness, it doesn't get much more hollow
than this. Plus, she comes across as a pod person from "Invasion of the
Body Snatchers".

Sebelius:

So we ask you, Mr. President, will you join us? It's time to get to work.

Here in the heartland, we honor and respect military service. We
appreciate the enormous sacrifices made by soldiers and their families.

As Governor of Kansas, I am the commander in chief of our National
Guard. Over the past five years, I have seen thousands of soldiers
deployed from Kansas. I've visited our troops in Iraq; attended funerals
and comforted families; and seen the impact at home of the war being waged.

We stand ready in the heartland and across this country, to join forces
with peace-loving nations across the globe and to fight the war against
terrorists, wherever they may strike. But our capable and dedicated
soldiers can't solve the political disputes where they are, and can't
focus on the real enemies elsewhere.
