Kerry's rebuttal SUCKS
Where's the prearranged crowd of people forced to attend?

Where's the stirring music?

Where's the leaning of a shoulder into the podium and the tough guy talk?

Where's the "some people say" setting up of a strawman to knock down, eg, "some people say that Americans should set themselves on fire...Not while I'm senator!"

And there wasn't nearly enough tying 9/11 to whatever it is he wants to do.

Not impressed.

and hokey-ass speeches.

11. All in all, not nearly enough faking for me.
No fake tears, no fake bravado, no fake plan, no fake concern. And he thought he could be president. Not without more fakery, Mister!

Because he was more presidential than Silverspoon.

How can we ever win against the Bush/Cheney axis of evil like that? Did he forget Poland again, too?

14. If he didn't invoke the name of God at least 5 times, it's a failed speech
That is an absolute must in any political speech, to invoke the name of God, and that God must "bless America," and God looks over our troops and God's gift is freedom blah blah blah.

"Our God wants us to win!" How about THAT for a Kerry barnburner?

16. Brilliant!!!
Poor Kerry, he needs to learn to say "heh, heh" and mispronounce simple words, and perhaps grind his jaw and do a little rapid-fire blinking when he loses his place on the teleprompter. Unfortunately, he is a bit tall already, so placing lifts in his shoes might give him that forward-tilted walk so fashionable for Commanders-in-Chief of late, but might put him a touch too far off the ground.

It would also help if he would drink himself insensible every so often, pass out, and end up with bruises to be ascribed to "exercise accidents" or choking on snack foods.

27. LOL
You cracked me up totally--it's all so true!

He also could invent a few new words, like "rejectionists".

Did you see that hand-shaking * did after? He had his dozen or so secret service guys around him as he shook hands with our own troops!! What a weenie.

A major disappointment, at that. Kerry is just too much an intellect.

Can't have a man with a brain acting like he's a statesman. What would the A-mur-i-kins think!?!

41. No fake halo, either, and no allusions to how he, and no one else,
is being directed by the mighty finger of God. I could have forgiven the lack of stammering and mispronunciations and errors in logic, but this is just too much. :)

Disappointing. I also missed the jaw swivels at important parts of the speech, the ingratiating smile fading to a smirk, the "ums" and the inability to perceive reality. Kerry really could learn a few tricks.
