So far I count 4 speeches by this guy that are going to go down in history as some of the very best: his 2004 keynote, the big post-Iowa Change speech (or was it post New Hampshire?), his speech about race in America, and now this one.
Unless the GOP figures out how to resurrect a tap-dancing Cleopatra Ptolemy on stage, live, in front of 10,000 screaming, topless supermodels whose vaginas fire rose-scented rainbows into the heavens, thus summoning the Metatron to earth to deliver their keynote, I think think they are going to wind up looking cheap and kind of foolish by comparison.
Chad, the New Hampshire one was really, really good. Iowa was off the charts good, though. Something about the energy in that room was just incredible.
The highlight of the GOP convention will be when they wheel the embalmed St. Reagan on stage, and the collected GOP bigwigs (starting with Larry Craig) all get in line to give him a Rainbow Party.
My friends, I may not be able to give soaring speeches. I cannot remember where I live, or in how many houses. I may not know how to tune in the Internets or the Google. I do not understand your modern ways and your “consistent” “positions” but I do know that when a man has been a POW for five years you must make that man president, my friends. You can’t believe in a message of hope… you can’t do it, My Friends.
I haven’t laughed so hard in…well, since this stupid preznitial political season started — what?–18 f-ing months ago?? That PWNED picture is absolutely THE BEST PICTURE–EVAH! I’m a mom and a postal worker…I’m putting a copy on my locker at work…laughter is the best medicine and keeps us from reaching for semi-automatic weapons.

I remember thinking during the 2004 DNC Keynote I was looking at the next president.

McCain-Gustav lookout.

This won’t win him the election — but it will make idiots flail for months why he shouldn’t.

In a couple of days, there’s going to be a collection of speeches from people like Joe Lieberman and John McCain.
You can’t do it, my friends.

I think the R convention will try a new format for speeches, since clearly the old format is completely pwned by Obama.
Rudy: NOUN!
McCain: VERB!
Rudy: 9/11!
McCain: NOUN!
Rudy: VERB!
McCain: POW!
…ad nauseum

While the rest of humanity says “ewwww!”

McCain can not be expected to put on a better convention, because back when he was a POW, he wasn’t allowed to put on any conventions at all.

you can’t go back and correct typos in the name window of your previous post. You can’t do it, my friends.
