The Joke is on the Pundits!

[realcountrymusic]

They fell for the make-nice-to-the-right leadup, and JK is kicking ass and taking names (and naming names). This is a home-run speech, and the dems played the game of diminished expectations *perfectly.* I am so happy and impressed. The media's knife has been twisted around and it's pointing in the right direction now.

I love it that he made the edit -- *help* is on the way. Cheney can sit on it and rotate.

"You see that flag up there? . . . It doesn't belong to any president. it doesn't belong to any ideology. It doesn't belong to any party. It belongs to all the American people!"

"It's time for those who talk about family values to start valuing families!"

THESE COLORS DON'T RUN!

PS -- And how about kicking it off with Springsteen doing "No Surrender!!!"

3. Sorry -- I have to post again

"I want an energy policy that relies on our innovation and independence, NOT THE SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY!"

Jesus. A direct shot across the bows.

AND THEN

"I want to address these next words directly to President George W. Bush . . . . Let's never misuse for political purposes the most precious document in American history: the constitution of the United States!"

Sorry, maybe somebody here can't hear it.

6. Amen.....the contrasting vision of America's future.

Re-invent our economy by retooing our energy policy. Big Oil's control of US foreign policy is being taken down in John Kerry's administration.

4. JFK kicked W's ass

so hard Jeb has begun to feel it.

5. Kerry Got It Off to a Great Start!

I really liked the opening line:

"I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty!"

That was a tribute to JK's military service and just a perfect dig at Chimpy's MIA service in the National Guard.

GO KERRY - EDWARDS!!!

7. Tough Speech. I just heard

a rumor that W is attempting to re-enlist in the Texas Air National Guard.

8. Fuck the out-of-touch, elitst punditocracy!

To call those people "analysts" is like calling diarrhea "chocolate mousse." :puke:

12. Tonight is a spectacular night!!!

John Kerry patriot, senator, husband, father, citizen, leader hit it out of the park and the sanctimonious blathering prattlers had to sit there and watch.

I'm so happy this evening. Oh what a night!!!
