Sometimes I'm surprised by my own bitterness and cynicism.
| Are they playing Heart's "Barracuda" in reference to Sarah "Sarahcuda" Palin? |
|
| ... Not that I can talk, in re: attacks. Ah, hypocrisy. |
|
| The ending was better, with his urging us to all do some good for our country. Better than Palin's attacks. |
|
| "Fight with me! Fight with me! ... Stand up! Stand up and fight!" Inspiration, or invitation to fisticuffs? |
|
| Glad to hear him suggest serving "a cause greater than yourself". Still not sure how that fits with mocking community organizers. |
|
| Almost certain that the autobiographical section of this speech is ten times longer than the policy proposals section. |
|
| "Let's try sharing it!" He cribbed that one from Sesame Street, I believe. |
|
| Oof. "... and the scars to prove it" line fell flat. |
|
| Bold strategy: painting America as behind the times and out of touch. |
|
| McCain as ardent peacenik. ... ... ... nope, not buying it. |
|
| Palin is pretty much a shoo-in at this point for Best Delivery at the RNC. |
|
| McCain just reminded me that Georgia has pretty much dropped off the news page. Hmm. |
|
| "We must face the threats in our time ... as Americans before us did." Did he create a time loop? |
|
| McCain's weak smile after he successfully delivers a line needs to go. |
|
| Ah, there's the "Drill, baby, drill!" chant. Thank goodness. |
|
| McCain disses schools answering to beauracracy. But ... wasn't NCLB a beauracratic ... hmm. |
|
| McCain is using the word "choice" a lot in talking about education, getting a lot of applause. Dangerously close to irony. |
|
| Okay, that sentence about some entitlement program for job transitions needed reworking. |
|
| Are they saying "Boo!" ... or "Boo-urns!"? |
