Adjournment
She is rambling. The speech is disjointed. Maybe should have considered reading something a speechwriter wrote.
Fergoshsake! She's here 35 years and she still can't speak intelligible English.
No way this weird one can ever be our First Lady!
Now she is just losing it.... "John believes in a bright future"
whatever she is proposing.... It is for springfield to capitol city! and beyond!
MAJOR GOLF CLAPS!
This can't be scripted. It's too disjointed. She was just talking about spirituality at the edges of the universe and claiming PA is her home state...it IS NOT. It was her ADOPTED home state.
FROM THE DEAN BLOG:
"The establishment will NEVER accept Howard Dean. I know that now. He will always be portrayed as a wack-job. I really hate those d*mned Clinton/McAwful DLC a**holes. I will never get over what they and the Media have done to him."
It's our duty. Know they enemy.
she was supposed to be opening a window on John Kerry - the window is evidently stuck - she is still talking about herself
Is there any translators in the room tonight. I'm having a hard time understanding waa waa.
No? Did you happen to see who is doing the closing benediction?
Benediction
Imam Yahya Hendi
Muslim Chaplin,
Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
And important Spanish it is, too!
You can say that AGAIN.
Hey, let's just hope she helped Kerry edit HIS speech!!
Somebody should tell Teresa that there are no husbands and wives in Massachusetts, the correct terminology by law is Partner A and Partner B.
Thank you! :)
America...I VANT to SUCK your BLOOOD!
Just a little *L*
