CNN's Toobin On Zell -- "That is the single most negative speech.."

[Khephra]

Vice President Dick Cheney's address tonight and the keynote speech by Democratic Sen. Zell Miller were both remarkable in their own way, according to CNN's Jeffrey Toobin.

"That is the single most negative speech I have ever heard at a political convention," Toobin said of Miller's speech. "An all-out, bombs away attack on John Kerry. Whether people want to hear that, I don't know. But I've never heard anything like it. Few people will be persuaded by that rhetoric, but it will charge up the troops.

"Cheney has an unusual demeanor for a politician," Toobin continued. "He is low-key in a really profound way. I counted two sentences about domestic policy and about 40 minutes about terror and Iraq. That's a bet that the public shares those priorities. I don't know if it's right or not."

With President Bush's speech set to cap the convention on Thursday, Toobin said he already had a ominous prediction of the coming two months before Election Day.

"Starting Monday, we're going to see this campaign at a new level of negativity and hostility and combat that will make the summer look like a student council election," Toobin said.

3. I had the sound off

(because I was eating and didn't want to get sick)

And all it took was one look at his face. The man is mentally ill. I'm not joking either. If you watched him tonight, he went from being the angriest F*cker possible to being all smiles and charm.

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm manic/depressive. I'm a mild case though, however, I've seen worse. He's got a serious case of M/D going on and it's probably the worst case I've ever seen. Or it's something more severe. All I can talk about from experience is M/D.
