SPLAT
Flat. I don't know why I was worried about junior making a big splash with a eulogy. I guess I read the pre-spin about his best speech writer and all that. As far as I can see he was invisible. I heard poppy on NPR and he really had something to say. It was personal, non-ideological (sort of) and REAL! This is the thing about dubya. There is no there there. When called upon to say something from the heart nothing comes out. Trying to hard? And he sing-songs it like a kid reading a story. Well, duh!
I don't know. But when (as Hullabaloo points out) you can make Brian Mulrooney look like a standout orator, you are really down there on the energy scale. Hully also has something to say about the 'stench of defeat' that is arising from dear leader. (Friday 061104).
