He is oddly serene. Seems as unhinged as usuall, but medicated on downers. He is speaking in a normal tone, but if you listen to what he is saying, he is just rambling on incoherently... talking about the Iraq sewage system and "My Pet Goat."
You can't even tell if there is an audience as they seem lulled into a baffled silence as they probably can't figure out what Al's point is either. They are probably thinking that it is sad to see their hero Al fallen to pieces. Overweight and incoherent.
America - This could have been your President.
Even the shots of Tipper show that she can't figure out what Al is talking about. Her face registers blankly, like she is daydreaming. What a sad spectacle this is. Al's laying out the Kerry/Edwards social security conspiracy theory now. Now he's claiming that Bush and his 'henchmen' are 'mangling' medicare. Even the rabid moveon people have been numbed into a deep sleep.
