I just got home and missed the greatest speech of my generation. Can you fill me in?
Or better yet, a link perhaps?

I'd hate to be a grandfather one day, talking to my grand kid about politics and tell him or her that I missed the greatest speech ever.

So, how did Clinton do?

4. Did you know the rules changed? 2209 delegate required now to win.
I guess Dean forgot to let the Obama camp know.

9. Well, if you take the Gettysburg Address, the Sermon on the Mount,
and MLK's I Have a Dream speech, stuff them in a bag and shake them up, then magnify their greatness a million times or so, you might get close. You missed the greatest event of the millennium, you poor bastard.

:rofl:

Or not.

11. I watched the greatest speech of my generation....
and missed Beauty and the Geek. I made the wrong choice.

14. Platitudes. Seemed really forced (even more so than usual). I saw two people of color
in that entire audience, and one of them was a secret service guy.

17. Too say she gave the best speech of our generation
is a little like saying "The Hottie and the Nottie" is the greatest movie of our generation. I thought it was her typical speech that she READ, as she usually does. She insists she's going all the way to the convention with it. Such good news.

18. So then what in the world was Terry Mc-Bonehead bragging about on MSNBC around 6:30ish?
He seemed to indicate this speech would be similar in quality to the kiss at the end of Princess Bride.

23. It was just Terry being old Terry. Too bad they didn't show him
in a wide shot. Then you would've seen him speaking directly from Bill's hip pocket.

31. That sounds like Porn
Porn could be the greatest movie of our(or your, if we are different) Generation. It wouldn't surprise me a bit. Lotta bad movies out there.

22. Did Hillary bash Obama at all, or was she nice?
Granted, I'm sure she was probably in an alternate reality with the new delegate number and all, but was it a nice reality?

32. I noticed that too. Her mid sentence breaks were wrong.
As incredible as it seems...not making sense at times.

28. It had the energy and feel of a mayoral victory speech in Lame Hills Falls, Oklahoma
What was fascinating were the amount of people NOT clapping.

But, than again, maybe they thought they were doing her a favor.
