Politicians love to hear themselves talk and they do most of it when there is a crisis.

for one feels this is not a normal speech designed to persuade or inform, but a primitive rite designed to channel group outrage.
There is a Nazi feel to Kerry.

I loved this line
All reality flows back to Bush. All begins with Bush, ends with Bush, is explained by Bush and is polluted by Bush, cursed be thy name. |

It really shows how the Dems have positioned themselves as victims.

"The two men might as well live in different worlds."
As long as they live in some other world. Suits me. Think of it. Frightening, what if they were in charge? Are Americans so positively hooked on mediocrity that these two looked like WH material?

Kerry! Edwards! What a class act of the back end of a horse. Everywhere they go the pile fall on the ground.

Shux! I just thought it was all Bush's fault.

Nuanced national socialism? Can it be that someday light will dawn that the party that must not be named was for broad redistribution and nationalization of capital?
Nah. The MSM certainly won't get it. "Right" wing in Germany must of course mean "right" wing in the US, even though the latter infers that the government get the heck out of our lives and stops interfering in our personal decisions (not to mention property).

Although the Breck girl only had one speech when he was the VP candidate.

He mentioned that the typical white family has about $80,000 in assets, while the typical Hispanic family has about $8,000, and the typical African-American family has about $6,000. That's an astonishing gap.Edwards may have his statistics right, I don't know. The REASON for this disparity, I suspect, has to do with whether or not the family is intact, that is, is there a father AND a mother in the home. Just this one fact makes the biggest difference in the economic health of a family. Democrats always ignore this fact, and narrow the difference down to race.

Is this THE David Brooks who wrote the American Spectator Clinton expose's in the 90's and has since disavowed them?

From the beginning, Kerry had 'loser' written all over him and selecting Edwards was the coup de gras.

The Kerry part of the piece is OK and describes the man well. But I fail to see anything new or interesting in what Edwards is saying. It's just another version of Edward's failed "two Americas" stump speech that failed to impress even the folks in his home state of SC. Both are losers--then and now. And I doubt Edward's statistics are reflective of the real story about black vs. white. Nor does it put the blame for the divide where it belongs--on the backs of the poverty-pimps and race hustlers like Jackson, Sharpton and countless other supposed "black leaders." They, along with the DUmmycrat plantation owners, are to blame, and that includes pretty boy, ambulance-chaser, Edwards. Let Johnny boy address that issue first.

I'm shocked, but this article also appeared on the NY Times Op-Ed page today. Also on the Op-Ed page was Bob Herbert's latest screed on Bush.
Kinda made David Brooks' point ;o)
