3. "If you think the Democratic convention was too slick
wait until the republicans bring out Osama Bin Laden in chains like King Kong."

5. Yes! It was great that he said that!
Put it out there that we know what kind of crap the repukes are capable of.

8. Can't say I'm surprised....
..he was making an ass of himself defending bush's inaction in after getting the 9/11 news....

He was REALLY squirming....

The funniest reaction was when MM asked if the congressman had seen the movie (which he'd just described as being full of lies) and he said he hadn't....

What a typical rethuglican asswipe....

The Colorado gov. also looking very uncomfortable....

I think that they can smell the blood in the water....

6. The big issue he missed was that everyone was watching
the convention on PBS/CSpan/the web instead of watching network news because the network commentators stunk.

7. However...
Kerry's speech DIDN'T come off rushed. I saw it. It was fine, powerful, as perfect as things get on Earth.

9. He was so right about Kerry being under so much pressure to finish
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 11:14 PM by wishlist
his speech within the allotted hour since it was his only chance for people to see him other than in just sound bites. How sad indeed.

I thought the speech was brilliant though and it did not seem rushed to me but that he was in control and wisely did not waste any precious time.
