Hold the phone: did she say the American thing to do was elect John Kerry?

That means that all us republicans are "un-American". What a joke!

How on Earth is Brit going to keep a straight face. This is probably going to be the toughest analysis of his career. It's late, he's probably a bit punch drunk...I hope he just lets loose!

Brit just said 'We'll take a break while we summon the better angels of our (analysis something)'. You could hear the laugh in his voice. He really can't stand that woman, somehow you can just tell.

Half the delegates must have left in the middle of her speech to get stoned and find a good spot at a trendy bar. Another wild night of carpet-munching and buggery awaits them.

In all candor - I shut that garbage off to practice. Was it a wise move - or does she bespeak knowledge and wisdom?
