John F*ckin's Le Pew Speech. It stank in the Fleet Center. And the subsequent poll numbers show him following in George McGovern's footsteps as the first presidential candidate in a generation to get no bounce out of his convention. If this guy couldn't warm the hearts of his Democratic Party partisans in the convention hall, how can he persuade the American people he's a President they can't trust? This is the first time a major party candidate failed to close the sale - and I don't think the dude is one to learn humility since he gave every indication of letting the country know he's ENTITLED to be President.

That Kerry thinks he can keep a non-captive audience at attention for 55 dreary minutes is indicative of his incredible self-worth and provides more than a glimpse of his immense unlikeability.

One of the more insightful comments regarding the eventual trainwreck...

A morally flexible gigolo, whose picture hangs in tribute in the communist museum in Ho Chi Mihn City, and an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer!

Yes, let us not forget that he WAS born in the West Wing (of the hospital).

Thanks for the post. This man is pathetic. RATS, break out the KoolAid.

At the speech's start, the group of 20 or so party activists were hooping and hollering. They were ecstatic. Thirty minutes in, at least one-third of them had wandered off and the excitement level had waned to the occasional smattering of applause. Moments before the pundits were instantly hailing Kerry's supposedly brilliant speech, more than half of the hard-core Democrats had vanished.

Best lines of the piece. Good anecdote.

One thing I have not yet mentioned about sKerry's talk that had me shouting at the tv: He talked about us all being Americans after 9-11 and he made mention of all the flags. I almost stood up and shouted, President Bush asked everyone to put those flags out--he was leading us!

Also, I can't remember what word he used to describe the firfighters and police who responded, but I was very upset that he didn't mention that many sacrificed themselves in that response.

sKerry is not the man for the job, nor will he ever be.

I watched Kerry's speech with my girlfriend who, by Freeper standards, is a moderate-left "D." About ten minutes into the speech she announced she was making some popcorn. I suggested that ig she was hungry we could order something for delivery.

She said, and I quote: "No, it has to be popcorn. I love (to eat) popcorn when I'm watching fiction."

I noticed her flinch on more than one occasion throughout the remainder of the speech. As a "D," she was grossly disappointed. It was all I could do to not burst out laughing.

I certainly hope that your are correct that Kerry is following in McGovern's footsteps, but as hard as he may try, Kerry is not going to do it all by himself. We must stay involved and active. Remember that 45% of the public would vote for Bin Laden if he headed the Democrat ticket.

That normal kid, we soon learned, grew up to become a “young prosecutor” who “made prosecuting violence against women a priority.”

In the film on his life, his brother cameron (the watergate style thief) stated that hanoi john prosecuted WHITE-COLLAR crime. The above statement leads you to believe he prosecuted violent crimes. And in a 2 year stint he couldn't have had to many cases considering how long each one takes.

I can't wait for November.

Maybe Kerry was slipped a little in his water by the VRWC.

I think this article put to much of the blame on Kerry. I think a good portion of it goes to Edwards the dreamer, and Tereza the prozac queen. Especially Tereza. The idea that she is going to connect with middle america is just plain silly. The truth is that she is a substantial negative.
