5. What'd you expect for a 24 minute speech from the crypt keeper...

it's past his bedtime.

6. Watta ya mean? This is the greatest speech since On The Crown

It's fucking Ciceronian.

Or it will be once Brokaw gets done slurring incoherently about it.

McCain bump in next CBS poll: +135

7. People doing their nails in the crowd.

[Stagecoach]

8. He's letting the applause stop him

When he needs to raise his voice and keep speaking over it, but he's halting everytime....and the viewer at home is going to feel like this is doing nothing but dragging and lose interest.

9. Has he gotten to the part that has some substance, like what exactly he

is going to do to fix the economy?

10. I agree - he's so boring!

And the sound of cheers contrast against the reality when the camera pans the crowd. They looked bored or at best, mildly interested.

[Stagecoach]

11. He's really struggling now

He's been stumbling like crazy in the last 5 minutes. He's quickly wearing down as this speech goes along.

12. Hah, as predicted on DU.

No September surprise there.

[mvd]

13. I'm glad this is a worse lie speech than Palin's

I'm happy he went after she did.

[smoochpooch]

14. It truly is terrible. WTF is he talking about?

This is absolutely nothing new from McCain. Same stuff he's said for 8 years, only now his record doesn't support it. He's boring, uninspiring and old.
