2. You'd be better off reading a VCR manual in the Korean language.
It's far more stimulating.

7. I'd kill to see it side-by-side with Obama's speech.
Especially the crowd shots. And that really f'd up green background that truly sucked but which Harold Ford decided represented "the future." :silly:

32. I hear they paid a ton of money to George Lucas...
To tell them how he rounded up all of the copies of the Star Wars Holiday Special.

6. You didn't miss much
It was so boring that MSNBC cut off about halfway through to announce that Obama had officially become the nominee.

9. Everybody missed it... halfway in the networks bailed to announce Obama had clinched the nomination.
It was my favorite moment of the night, until Obama's speech.

:bounce:

As I read here once, FDR's embalmed nose could beat John McCain in a charisma contest.

16. It was pretty awful.
If he continues to use those points, he's in trouble.

Unless he picks Bill Gates for Vice President with the express purpose of bribing all voters with $1,000,000 a piece, it shouldn't even be close.

24. The delivery was poor.
The content was terrible. It's incredible, but he'll never be called on his lies by the press.

Nearly everything he said sounded like it was written by somebody running for class president.

The Republicans have to be pissed that he's who they ended up with.

39. Nope, I only remember learning about it from a movie! It sounds awesome though. If I were running,
voodoo economics would be central to my platform, along with reforming the calendar around my revolutionary 34 hour day. productivity would be crazy!

33. Youtube
4 parts, in order:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEeERDpSct0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me8UwD035-o
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fVc0CBQL8g
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpQnJfElZvo

He's got it into his head that he needs to reinvent himself, be sunny and charming. Comes off as really creepy. And bizarre. He speaks like a narrator for a 1955 Disney travelogue. And frequently stops to beam with a black-eyed rictus, scary as all fuck.

35. Pity
It's gruesomely fascinating. A transcript won't do it justice, in fact, parts of the speech are quite good. It's the delivery that makes it like spiders skittering across your soul.

41. He stated by saying Obama would say he was the same as Bush at every turn. Then
McCain contrasted his votes with the Bush Admin's policies. Then I tuned out.
