David Ehrenstein has produced a line-by-line commentary on Bush’s State of the Union address, filled with very funny inuendo, asides and revelations of what the speechwriters really meant.

In each case, their ambitions of cruelty and murder had no limit. In each case, the ambitions of Hitlerism, militarism and communism were defeated by the will of free peoples, by the strength of great alliances and by the might of the United States of America.
Now, in this century, the ideology of power and domination has appeared again and seeks to gain the ultimate weapons of terror.
Box-cutters.

And David Weinberg pointed me to Steve Yost‘s QuickReview-enabled posting of the SOTU, where anyone can add a comment to any paragraph of the speech.
Lots of fun, but almost too easy a target.
