State Of The Union, Idiocracy Style

State of The Union speeches are an American institution. Through the generations, presidents delivering them open with a brief appraisal of the present then follow with longer plans for a more prosperous and smarter future.

But George W. Bush's speech Tuesday night was the exact opposite. In the core of his address, he used just 431 words to suggest how smart new technology in the future might reduce our dependence on foreign oil, then followed with a staggering 2536 words justifying an immediate increase of our military presence in the world's oil epicenter.

Bush flipping the historical State of The Union formula on its head is an ominous sign of a nation in decline ... a nation headed for a less prosperous and dumber future. This is exactly what Mike Judge prophesizes in his latest movie Idiocracy. It takes place in the year 2505, and the President of Uh-merica is former pro wrestler Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

President Camacho's America is hurting a lot worse than ours but he goes back to basics in his stirring 141-word State of The Union performance. He begins, as our forefathers templated, with a brief appraisal of the present: "Shit. I know shit's bad right now." Then he follows with a masterful three-point plan.

See for yourself below. And since we can't prevent our leaders from taking us to hell in a fast food bucket, let's at least thank Judge for entertaining us along the way.
