July 30, 2004 | NEW YORK (AP) -- Television commentators gushed in their first response to John Kerry's nomination acceptance speech, while warning the address will be parsed in the weeks ahead for what wasn't said.

"This is the best speech I have ever heard John Kerry ever make,'' CBS analyst Bob Schieffer said as balloons fluttered down on the Democratic National Convention's closing celebration Thursday night.


Over on ABC, political director Mark Halperin provided an echo: "The best speech I've ever seen John Kerry deliver by a mile.''

"There was no Bush bashing in this speech tonight,'' NBC anchor Tom Brokaw said of Kerry's performance at Boston's FleetCenter, "but lots of lines that brought the crowd to its feet, especially when he talked about the defense secretary and the attorney general.''

NBC's Tim Russert agreed: "The campaign is in full throttle.''

1. I digress - my kids love your kitties

My kids, who are 2 and 5, love your kitties! They just stood here and watched them and couldn't stop laughing! Just wanted to let you know that your kitties have three fans in my house. :)

2. Hey, give the media whores a break!

They were in a crowded auditorium, surrounded by Democratic supporters and having just heard the speech first-hand. Today, they'll be getting the RNC blast faxes that will tell them what they really think, and they will spend the next three weeks trying to convince us that it's what they thought all along.

Pssh! Expect them to think on their feet, analyze a speech and just blow the Republican talking points out their ass all at once? These things take time.
