What a Maroon! Like Kerry doesn't trust 5,000 talking heads to rip apart Bush's speech immediately after he gives it. By this logic, immediately after Kerry's acceptance speech, he should have had John Edwards come on and tell us all what a good speech it was.
I don't think the punditocracy is going to cotton to this. If I was Chris Matthews or Eleanor Clift I would be mad as hell that Kerry wouldn't let me get my 2 cents in ripping the speech.
At least, give them the illusion that they are coming up with these talking points. If you want the friendly media to remain friendly, stop trying to show them up. Look at what they did to Howard Dean.
That oughta go over well..
