It's a tough call, but...
As I noted earlier, I didn't watch the speech and I haven't read the transcipt so I'm working from a cursory reading of reactions, but I think this may be winner for "Biggest Load of Hypocritical Nonsense" of the night:
Bush said lawmakers and others need to confront issues "in a spirit of good will and respect for one another."
"There is a difference between responsible criticism that aims for success and defeatism that refuses to acknowledge anything but failure. Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy," Bush said.
There's a notion that when we criticize the actions of others, we're really just projecting our own shortcomings on someone else.
And so there is your proof.

Well, second-guessing is the only thing you get to do when you're consistently lied to by the government through media that are stupidly complacent and complacently stupid. Granted, it's not a strategy (whoever said it was?), but with the Bush administration it is a necessity.
No doubt. Until we learn to fight back credibly and change the perception, we only get to comment from the cheap seats. I might steal your phrase sometime, if you don't mind: Stupidly complacent and complacently stupid. Just perfect.
