I was not informed about Motumbo's humanitarian work, and have been sufficiently educated below. I was just astonished to see an athlete with everything that is going on. I am appropriately chastened.

3. Context, Will?
(In my defense, I was busy pulling dinner out of the oven).

Guessing that the basketball player was a special guest?

12. Yes, introducing guests, a basketball player and the lady who started Baby Eistein
also, the guy who jumped over and rescued the guy in the subway, and an Iraq vet who has won the Silver Star.

84. Cheap applause lines - deliberately placed at the end of the speech
so he can end on a warm-fuzzy note. PUTZ. Just another ploy. Rather disingenuous if you ask me.

5. Motombo is a good guy
I've got no problem with him being recognized. He's miles ahead of a lot of athletes who invest their millions only in luxury goods for themselves.

18. I just think "why the heck not"
We know he's going to have some guests for this kind of thing. Unless they're all going to be Iraq and Afghanistan vets, Motombo is as good as any other choice.

20. It has to do with the state of the Union in that it is people that represent

the things that Americans do. A man that came here from Africa becomes a citizen and does things for his home country, someone that saved someone's life, someone that created a business, and a person who displayed courage and valor in a military battle.

93. Of all the problems to have with Bush, honoring a man like Mutombo doesn't rate
in my top million. So Bush got some cheap heat. So what? Honestly, where it the harm in taking thirty seconds to give some recognition to someone who has done undeniably wonderful things for his fellow man?

78. I'm not trying to bully you, I (was) trying to point out that Mr. Mutombo has done
things with his money and time that will better the lives of countless people. He is by all accounts a wonderful human being and many others would be well-served to use him a role model. If he doesn't do another thing for the rest of his life, he will still have done far more for the betterment of his countrymen than 99.99% of us.

In the face of Mr. Mutombo's accomplishments, "No like all of them" is a rather petulant response in my opinion.

Mr. Pitt was expressing dismay that Mr. Mutombo, a professional basketball player, would be honored at the SOTU.

to have a discussion. If your mind can't be changed, that's okay. But, just repeating a dismissive line like that in the face of someone else truly trying to portray his/her point of view is not going to garner support for yours.

90. Listen! My reply was to the original title and the original message.
And then all these judgmental posters come along and want a piece of me AFTER the original title and message have been extremely altered.My post sits out of context. Is that too difficult for you to understand? Do you know what the original title and message said. If not how can you sit in judgment of my reply out of context?

I usually don't care what someone else's point of view is once they become hostel toward me.

So I'm not perfect at dealing with over critical,RIGID posters.

Have you got any more criticism for me oh perfect one?

I turned the STOU off after a few minutes cuz I couldn't stand it. And I never heard it, I know don't know this guy or never heard of him until this ugly ass thread.

All I did was make a lighthearted comment to Will's ORIGINAL THREAD. Now my reply is hang out here out of context and you and your bullies want something from me. No. Think will you.

87. Well. I guess you had to be there.
It doesn't make sense now that the original thread title and message have been changed.


Um... I knew what it was about when I first posted in it. It was a freak out thread about an unnamed athlete and a few others being the SOTU honorees or what ever they're called. And I feel that when the op changed people got hostel toward me as if I had posted what I did to the changed post. As if I even heard the SOTU. I am no expert at dealing with hostel people.

And yes there is something very wrong. I feel like this is high school all over again.

88. That was my question as well. And no, you didn't really have to be there.
The OP expressed dismay that Bush would invite someone like a basktball player (I'll wait for the shrieks and gasps to die down...) to the SOTU. When the OP was informed that there is actually a very good reason to invite Mr. Mutombo, he acknowledged his mistake and moved on. Not so with CV, as you can see.

But we're probably just "hostel" people that don't understand the subtlety of repeating "No like all of them," I suppose.

Those Africans probably didn't even want that hospital, and here comes Mr. Jock to throw it in their faces. What a jerk.

71. Knee-jerk responses are fun, aren't they? They keep you from having to think at all.
That's got to be a time-saver.

So, CV...do you have any plans for the Superbowl?

73. So no plans, then? You can watch the game with my friends & me if you'd like.
Imagine it: cheap beer...chicken wings...multiple large-screen tv's...hundreds of drunken yahoos all yelling at people on the screen...nachos...people hugging each other for no apparent reason...cheese sticks...yelling until you lose your voice...

Sounds glorious, doesn't it?

Sorry but I'm not knocking his contributions to society. I'm knocking Bush.

59. Scary SOTU, privitized armies, Iran and Syria
the clapping should have been far less IMO. Maybe they didn't listen to the same SOTU that I did.

41. I saw where everyone informed you about Mutumbo.
He definitely upstaged Hakeem Olajuwon in that department.

49. I guess you've forgotten that Bill Clinton had Sammy Sosa as a guest
in 1999.

Nothing new under the sun.
