She sounds wasted.

She looks wasted too. And she sounds incoherant.

This is the weirdest speech I've heard in a long time. They should have never let her get on stage.

"her eyes appear as glassy and red.z"

Thanks for confirming that. It seemed so to me and I actually flipped back between a couple channels to double-check. This has to be the worst, most embarrassing speech in convention history.

The question is, will it make any significant difference in the race.


I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE BRIT HUME'S FACE WHEN SHE IS DONE.

At this point, you should all begin yawning.

If you haven't yawned yet, be careful, they're contagious.

Especially during this speech.
