The speech was clocked to be under 40 minutes. But when you are interrupted 108 times for applause (WOW!), it is bound to be a bit longer than planned.
Sort of like monsieur kerry at the American Legion convention...not! What a clunker that guy kerry is! He gives all new meaning to the terms arrogant, pompous, verbose, condescending, and unlikeable.
And, did anyone else notice his limp-wristed "salute" to the Legion attendees? How about those longish girly-man fingernails? And, how about that foreign "boat" he was riding in with his boss (Teresa) off Nantucket Island? What a guy! A real "man of the people". He'd know about two Americas, that's for sure - one for him and his ilk, the other for the "little people".
Kerry is the male (at least technically) Leona Helmsley. He is truly nauseating.
