Kerry reception at Guard convention "icy."

PBS "News" | vanity

[Jerry W. Howard]

Just watched the account on PBS news of the Kerry Guard convention speech. They juxtaposed about 3 minutes of Bush's speech a couple of days ago with 3 minutes of Kerry's speech today. Although they made no verbal comment, the difference was so devastating for Kerry that I am amazed they showed it! (Bush was recieved warmly, smiling faces, appropriate applause, etc.) Kerry on the other hand delivered his defeatist screed to stonefaced silence. The camera panned at times to a few listeners walking out, a few boo's and NOT A SINGLE CLAP BY ANYONE IN THE CROWD! Kerry paused as if waiting for applause a few times, but NOTHING! I was dumfounded that they showed this on PBS!

Did anyone get another view?

I just tuned in and my first thought was: --Kerry, himself, looks bored.

[gortklattu]

===he just got a little applause but I didn't hear what caused it.===

He said, "in closing"

[Howlin]

Why be concise when you can bore?

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

Scotty,

Were YOU the one that kept bringing me those frigging LERPS! HA HA HA

[Mike Fieschko]

This guy is absolutely, totally, 100% clueless.

Who wrote this speech?

No one could think what he's saying would be received well. Whoever wrote this had no understanding of the audience.

An incompetent campaign with an incompetent candidate.

I just got it. He reminds me of a burned out Methodist minister I used to have to endure as a kid. In the front row, he had that droning high pitched voice. I used to struggle to stay awake and was reduced to counting the A's in the Church bulletin to stay awake.

[CyberAnt]

Sorry .. meant to say VBR.

[Right_in_Virginia]

LOL!

[jbarkley]

EVEN the National Guard?

Way to disrespect them to their faces idiot.

[StarFan]

This guy looks (and sounds) severely depressed to me.

Yup, and it's becoming contagious with his audience. I've heard enough.

[CyberAnt]

It's the seriousness of the charge!

[Howlin]

Wait a minute: is he saying he's changing the mission of the Guard?

[LibFreeOrDie]

Insomniacs rejoice! Here's your cure...

[Two-Bits]

The ones clapping must be "paid" clappers".

[Taffini]

when he gives them a compliment, they clap, but not for any thing else he says

[Right_in_Virginia]

Every time I watch him I have to fight the urge to grab the remote.
