29. Because it would debunk a major SCRIPT PLOT
That Vietnam Vets are against Kerry, that the men he served with believe he isn't fit to command.

Which of course is the customary LIEEEEEEEE.

But if the Media Whores debunk this LIEEEEEEEEE. They might actually have to go find a story tomorrow.

10. Go Brother Alston, Go!
The man is speaking without notes or a Teleprompter. That's an orator.

Whaddya got to compare to David Alston, Mr. Bush? Someone who went to a Guadalajara brothel with you?

23. He would ...
But the one guy is booked solid with teeth cleanings next month (the summer is always busy season for dentists). Once everyone's kids are back in school, his calendar frees up a little.

Two really terrific speeches! If we can just get these two to campaign for Kerry this thing is in the bag.

28. Me too! The Democratic Party's remarkable diversity is on display tonight
An African-American who happened to have John Kerry as his superior officer in Vietnam.

And the woman who lost family on 9-11--was she Arab-American?

24. Do most people watch cable news?
Because if they do they aren't even seeing the convention. This has me really worried. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?

26. most who watch cable news
are hard-core wingers anyway. They are just tuning in to get their hatred riled up, like they do every night.

27. Thank God for men like this...
They help me prove that not everyone born and raised in South Carolina has surrendered their right to think. This is what the South could be about if the intelligent people could get elected. Oh well
