Here's a fun drinking game that's sure to make Tuesday night's State of the Union Address go down easily.

Chug a beer whenever the Prez "embellishes" on the truth.

Expect a tsunami of suds if President Bush takes on civil justice evildoers. Civil justice attorneys, jackpot jury awards and frivolous lawsuits are The CEO in Chief's favorite whipping boys.

Whether speaking before a joint session of Congress, or a gaggle of friendly physicians in the American Heartland, President Bush rarely misses the chance to go "James Frey" on those seeking fairness in civil courts.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, one should never let the facts get in the way of a good story. That's just what Bush and his Tort Reform corporate pals have done for decades.

As Ronald Reagan once said, facts are funny things. The facts don't support Bush's distorted dissertation on a system of justice created to hold wrongdoers -- be they individuals or corporations -- accountable for harming regular folks.

Here's some more truth the Prez won't touch: More than 100,000 people are killed each year through medical negligence. Yet only about 500 medical malpractice cases get filed each year.

These cases are tragedies for surviving family members, yet Bush calls them "frivolous." He says civil justice lawsuits hurt the economy and force doctors to quit their professions.

But why quibble over people left brain damaged, mangled or dead though medical mistakes? The President knows people prefer fantasies to facts, especially when a civil justice attorney is the fall guy.

So enjoy the show tonight. And if you play that beer-chugging party game, drink responsibly and please don't drive.
