No TV at work, what are pundits saying please?

[MyUncle]

Just watched on CSPAN on line. Curious as to the reactions. Can't see how anyone can say it was bad, it was even shorter than advertised.

Thanks in advance.

[Dookus]

nothing yet

they're showing the celebration still.

[Not Me]

1. I flipped over to faux, they are mute

[dsewell]

2. Who cares? WE are the pundits who matter!

[59millionmorons]

4. Well said

I loved it

[MyUncle]

6. I am curious, there are votes to be won, the pundits are talking

to a heck of a lot more people than we are.

[Endangered Specie]

3. I dont know, but I imagine even the biggest RW spinner,

will be hard pressed on that one!

[walldude]

5. I always think that but then they

always manage to to find some spin. The torture scandal was the one that drove me nuts, here's a story you can't possibly spin right? :eyes:

[MyUncle]

7. Anything yet folks?

[Bluebear]

8. MSNBC: He rushed the speech, he stepped on applause

How could you rush history blah blah blah.

[MyUncle]

9. How long did it last? I thought 30-35 minutes?

10. PBS is doing good

Historians and Shields and Lehrer seem to be pretty well impressed--poor old David Brooks is trying to find some reason to put it down, but is only coming up with lame comments.

[donco6]

15. Agree with your assessment

Brooks has been able to come up with sometime bad about everyone, but is just dumbstruck with Kerry's speech. The historians' comments are wonderful. "Speech of his life" is the consensus.

[faithnotgreed]

11. chris matthews and andrea mitchell thought it was "beautiful"

thats what andrea said anyway... and chris was complimentary immediately

i was pleased until joe s came crashing in, but then everyone else disagreed with him
he thought it was a great speech that was ruined by rushed speech

hmm

[MyUncle]

16. It was an emotional HIGH.

IMO, the real swords will come out tomorrow when the words are parsed and disected.

[blue america]

17. true

but even joe compared him to reagan in 1980. i almost fell off my chair.

[lectrobyte]

12. I watched it on CSPAN, we don't need no steenkin pundits

Cleland was great on the intro, JFK walked in to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and he was all out of bubblegum!

[onecent]

13. Blitzer on CNN apologized to the public for one of their cameramen swearin

swearing when the balloons were released and it must have scared him or (not sure why the swearing)..of course then they talked about Cheney's swearing, and Theresa's comment (which wasn't swearing)...and said it was understandable.

Actually even FOX is being kind. They just interviewed Kennedy (Robert Jr. I believe) and he said he was going to do EVERYTHING he could to get Bush out of the Whitehouse. That Bush did more against pollution Than ANY other President in history. He said he would win cases and Bush would change the rules.

They aren't finding a lot of meat yet to chew on....they'll be up late tonight!1

[Athame]

18. No, CNN was running the voiceover of the DNC convention manager

who was frustrated that the balloons weren't coming down fast enough and kept hollering into the mic "More balloons, more BALLOONS!! Where are the fucking balloons." CNN made no mistake. They let that voicover run on purpose. It was obvious. It was drowning out the music, and the excitement. I was screaming at the TV. :grr:

:argh:

[name not needed]

14. I wouldn't know

I'm too busy not giving a shit about what they have to say.

[MyUncle]

19. Pat Buchanon is praising JFK.

I just got home from work and heard Pat praising JFK, almost over the top praising, on MSNBC late night. So much so that his co stars were giving him serious gas. Is this pretty much how things have been going?

High praise for JFK?
