WOW! is all I can say about yesterday's speeches at the DNC convention.
There was a classy, moving tribute to the victims of 9/11 that will make the September Republican schlockfest in NYC look like the shameless exploitation it will be.
It was clear from the Fleet Center crowd that they were going to be very unlike Democrats usually are. This year, it's all about winning, and outfoxing Karl Rove and his brown shirts.
First, a Vietnam swiftboat crewmate of John Kerry's, Reverend David Alston, brought the house down with his forceful account of Kerry's heroics.
President Carter's speech was amazing also.
And then it was time for the Big Dog . . .
Clinton left the wimpy, mommy's boy, rich kid Bush in the dust. The guy could swat away Bush's inability to handle world affairs like a mosquito. I doubt there is even one other person alive today who can give a speech like Bill Clinton. He makes Bush sound like the village idiot he is.

Clinton' speech was absolutely brilliant. Great soundbites. Two of my favorites:
ReplyDelete"And you might remember that when I was in office, on occasion, the Republicans were kind of mean to me. But as soon as I got out and made money, I became part of the most important group in the world to them."
"Strength and wisdom are not opposing values."
Like the bumpersticker says: "Come back, Bill. All is forgiven."
My Fav . . .
