I think a whole lot of that wasn’t his call if you take a look at his tone when he talked about different issues some big disparities came out. He tried to keep from rolling his eyes during a lot of that (it looks like) and ended up sticking out his tongue instead (I guess).
The whole speech felt like it was being delivered by a guy who was cognizant that any credibility he had left was crashing all around him.
BINGO! That explains the weird, desperate tone in his delivery. It's strange, though - what the hell did Kerry expect would happen when attempting such an obvious scam? At least Bill Clinton & Obama (mostly) kept their cool when lying their asses off.
FOX and Friends were all over Kerry repeating himself over and over and over. Compared his 1 and a half hour speech with the 3 minute Gettysburg Address and a few others.
