"Very uncool. Whining does not impress the voters. I might question his patriotism and his fitness to serve, but in fact none of the convention speakers crossed those lines. But that's politics."

To anyone who watched both events, either live or on video, the ONLY slur against Kerry last night - the speeches just pointed out the truth about Kerry - was the video introducing President Bush, showing him throwing a strike FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUND while wearing a bulletproof vest.

"Kerry's Nowhere Close, Twinkle Toes lob from IN FRONT OF THE MOUND in Boston . . ."

LOL, LOL, LOL ! Great gag line c-c! You ought to tighten that up a bit and use it as your tag line. I saw Kerry lob that pitch and laughed so hard I nearly choked. He looked just like a freaking "girly man," as Arnold would say.
