Instacomment
Glenn had comments open on this post, but while I was typing, he turned commenting off. Argh! So here was what I said:
I didn’t see the whole thing, but one of the most striking things I thought was how bored so many people in the audience looked when the camera caught them.
When he talked about healthcare, I called him a communist, though I’m sure he couldn’t hear me through the TV.
He was animated, for him, but looked… sweat-sheened, sunken-eyed, oddly gestured. Perhaps for supporters delivery didn’t matter any more than content.
Oh, one funny point was when he referred to “when I was a prosecutor” and I initially thought I heard “prostitute.” He didn’t mumble it that badly, either; more one of those ear glitches.
Not included in the comment, this snippet of conversation after Deb started watching too. Kerry said something about us all being in the same boat…
Deb: “If we’re all in the same boat...”
Me: “A swift boat?”
Deb: “...what if it gets torpedoed!”
Me: “Then Kerry can have another purple heart.”
