[nancetc]

Larry KEEN-EYE NOT KING...LOL

[Texas_Jarhead]

You're kidding.

TOo funny...

[Patriot]

Howard Feinman doesn't give it hign marks.

[Fury]

On the NPR front, E.J. Dionne, Daniel Schorr et al, all liked...

[TheMole]

The president of Brown University ? That hive should be called Red University. That tells you all you need to know about NBC "News".

Judy Woodruff was just about apoplectic. She can't stand to see President Bush as the great leader he has proved to be. She came up with one of the most inane comments I have yet to hear. She said: "Well, we all know this speech was written ahead of time." LOL!!!

Stupid airhead. I guess that she believed Clinton when he told her everything he ever said was spontaneous? (After she got up off her knees...)

[ladyinred]

Woodruff sure made a fool of herself! All speeches are written ahead of time as any idiot knows! LOL, this is great.

George W Bush did such a fantastic job! All of the torture of the election aftermath was worth this one moment in time, when even Florida had to see we have the right leader afterall.

"My opinion: a great, great speech. Only (minor) criticism he should have introduced the NYFD and NYPD guys in the balcony."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO God, NO. No offense.......... :) .........but that was something about Clinton's speeches I just hated with a purple passion.

".........and with us tonawt, y'all, is LeeOtis Washington, a former welfare recipient / deadbeat dad who now actually has a job washing cars and sends money to his 13 illegitimate kee-ids. Ain't he great?", followed by some dweeb standing up and Congress applauding........embarrassed as hell, embarrassing as hell.

Sure, the cops and firemen deserved the longest of standing-o's.........but Bush knew that that wasn't what this speech was about. Recognizing Blair? More than appropriate; dead-on. He earned it. The wife of the gentleman who led the charge against the terrorists on that ill-fated aircraft? Absolutely. That was enough.

Everything about this speech was a breath of fresh air..............and it included NOT having a series of "......ok, you knucklehead ya, stand up and take a bow...", Clintonesque vaudeville. This also drove home how lucky we all are that Gore lost.

This speech definitely marks the end of the Hollywood / DNC "Bush-ain't-too-bright" campaign.
Oh, the more stupid of that crowd may try to continue it, but it's effectively over.

In "Fate is the Hunter", Ernest K. Gann tells us of a fellow pilot with whom he had occasion to share a long flight.  The pilot's name was Park and he was from Texas....

"Park was what so many Texans think they are, or would like to be. He was long and lean and hard. His pale gray eyes belonged behind the sights of a gun barrel and his walk seemed wrong without the clinking of spurs. He was a shy man and quiet spoken, a wonderfully simple man and if he had any nerves I had yet to observe them."

And later.....

"Park's voice suddenly faded away as it often did when he had pronounced the meat of his thoughts; He had no use whatsoever for verbal trimmings."

I cannot imagine a better description of one of America's finest Presidents - George W. Bush.

[pttttt]

(I could not believe my ears when Dan Rather said this is the best speech since at least FDR and then he added he bets some will argue and say this is the best speech in the history of the country made by a president. What can I say but holy smokes......Ratherboy was just blown away. AS for the other newspeople, I do not know.)

I'm glad someone else heard Rather say this. I thought I was hallucinating. Thank God for GWB - the right man for the time.

Right! The Hollywood Left must be emoting in their latte by now!

The more stupid of that crowd? The mind boggles.

Babs has certainly been missing in action. She probably broke her third TV set this evening in frustration. She, Bill and Hillary had such plans. Such sweet dreams. Hah.

[feedback doctor]

Dan kinda got caught in his ad-libbing. He was saying something about how in the past W. had a reputation for getting his words wrong, but that he didn't tonight. But Rather in trying to say that messed up what he was saying twice, and then got it wrong the third time. That's ok because I think he was genuinley moved. Also, he signed off, and WASN'T out of time, so he had to fill a little, and he was sooooo serious about the gavity of the situation. It was really eerie.

[aculeus]

The president of Brown University ? That hive should be called Red University. That tells you all you need to know about NBC "News".

Agree, except it was ABC.

[BamaDi]

Hey, Alan Colmes a Republican - difficult to swallow but that'll work....the only sour grapes in the whole evening was everytime they put the camera on Hillary she looked like she'd swallowed sour grapes...what is her problem? oh yeah, she's married to Bill....

[L`enn]

Methinks one is the Junior Senator from NY, (who did not get introduced if you all noticed). The only thing she was hearing was 2004 going up in flames and her philandering hubby's legacy being smashed to bits.

[Terry Mross]

Actually, the president of Brown University gave it high marks and Fienstein even said it was " a ten". Can you believe it. Stephen Ambrose was on Bwokaw and he compared it favorably to FDR and Churchill. Said Bush gave American "lines" we can hang onto, just like FDR.

[BamaDi]

I'm still waiting for Mrs Brad Pitt to apologize for calling W. a f**king idiot (quote unquote), and then of course there's Julia Roberts - "republican falls between reptile and repulsive in the dictionary"....etc etc....and has anyone hear for Ms Streisand? No? not surprising....
