I also saw Charles Krauthammer say that the speech was "pedestrian."

Good gosh, man, what a clean miss.

Groundbreaking, far-reaching, stirring, honest, forthright, brave, touching, I could go on, but I eschew adjectives (they can be so...so pedestrian.)

I'll give you another chance, Krauthammer. Now go watch a tape of the speech and report back later.

I'll be waiting for the same people that dissed Peggy Noonan to be dissing Charles, one of the finest conservatives ever.....

Colmes on now having a little snit fit about what Newt is saying.

Krauhthammer nailed it. The speech was nothing new. At least we avoided a couple of the tired cliches that were dragged out the other week like "freedom is on the march" and the real fighting words, "family values don't stop at the Rio Grande" when Bush is pimping his amnesty-in-everything-but-name program.

I found the speech uninspired and tiring. Between the fishnet stockings behind Laura and Dick sucking on his lozenge, I was able to stay awake. I don't trush Bush. He's a liar and a scoundral.

Fortunately his border mess ought to fail in the House. He won't actually sign a budget which reigns in spending, he won't get up-or-down votes on judges, he won't get critical reforms enacted. He will, however, try to taint the U.S. Constitution with his "marriage ammendment" unAmerican, liberty-squashing agenda.

Krauthammer also wrote a scathing attack on the new World War II memorial. He criticized every single aspect of the memoria.

Every single person I know who has seen it has been overwhelmed by the depth of emotion it evokes.

Krauthammer's criticisms were petty in the extreme. Dare I say his criticisms were 'pedestrian'.
