EFL, from McCain's speech as presented by Yahoo! News
While McCain's tone was mostly conciliatory, he criticized Michael Moore, whose documentary film "Fahrenheit 9-11" attacks Bush over Iraq and has been popular with liberal audiences. Without mentioning Moore by name, McCain called him "a disingenuous film maker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace."

I was impressed. That was the best speech I've heard McCain give yet.

#17  We have to be careful of Jabba the Hut disappearng into hospitals. He might have the stomach stapling surgery, lose 90% of his weight, and come out unrecognizable!

#16  No wonder the regular networks blacked out/censored these two (McCain & Giuliani) speeches.

McCain's skewering of Jabba the Hut was cool.

#15  Ima thinking that if you watched the convention tonight your, as me, on a very good vib. Kiss flowers and eat babies.

MM was/is a slob and everybody got a glimpse of the gas bag tonight. McCain did it proud.

#14  #7 Are you sure MM has balls? After reading his open letter to the president I think MM should check himself into the nearest mental hospital.

#10  Or, better yet, use the link function provided in the comment window:

1. Highlight text you want to be "hot"

2. click the "Link" button image just below the text window

3. Fill in the URL Box and click the OK button it has on it.

4. Voila! Your hot text does the deed.

Of course, if you're using FireFox, it seems this doesn't work. Call Frank and OS, heh.

#9  Guilliani was da man. He reads Rantburg for sure. Has anyone heard anybody name names like he did, Ala Germany 1972, Italy ala appeasement. Man powerful. God bless you all. Things are going swimingly. The truth is no longer being lost in blonds behaving badly.

#7  Michael Moore should be dragged, by his balls, through the streets of NYNY by the NYPD and NYFD and relatives of the 9-11 dead then dumped in the East River.

#6  RWV - The MSM's refusal to carry I think was deliberate because of the 9-11 theme.

They want us to forget that 9-11 ever happened, go back to the pre 9-11 'soft america', and elect John Kerry. I'm betting that the MSM will give Kerry even more coverage then the GOP Convention.

Notice also how Kerry is breaking with tradition and continuing to activly campain during the GOP Convention. Isn't it a long tradition that the 'other' canidate lay low and allow the convention to have its 'day in the sun'?

Mullah Moore was calling each and every American who believed what Sen McCain was saying a loser.

#4  Too bad that the 9-11 themed night was the one that the networks chose not to Kerry.

#3  Giuliani just finished speaking, and he made McCain look pale and peaked. The convention's going to be the Dems' nightmare: WoT is the most important issue we're facing.

Giuliani made minced meat of Kerry...

#2  Not only that, but once the convention settled down he repeated it over again.....
Posted by: CrazyFool   2004-08-30 10:52:37 PM  

#1  And that reference stopped his speech cold as the convention made its contempt rather clear. It was nice, very nice indeed, to hear Americans, not just here in the blogosphere, show this cretin the derision and scorn he so richly deserves.
