Yeah, I've

got the Mouth of Montpelier on my television spouting about how he's going to make me proud to be a Democrat again--only if I vote for him, of course. And that ain't gonna happen even if there were only two people on this earth and he was the only other person besides me. It's a rambling speech because Dean has never learned how to write a coherent speech. He speaks off the cuff, using lines lifted from discussion boards and blogs. He's also sounding hoarse. I suppose it's because he's spoken to those 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 8,000 or however many it was he spoke to in Seattle. All that screaming has almost left him speechless for once.

But the key word is "almost." He isn't silent, unfortunately. I just don't see how this man gets the following. I just don't. It's all slogans and nothing truly detailed. The standard stump speech. Mentioning Harry Truman, talking about how the party should be responsive to his nonsense and "stand for something," and the "you've got the power" shit, over and over again.

This guy is no Mario Cuomo or even John Edwards, frankly.

Earlier in the broadcast Jerrold Nadler, Major Owens, and Lowell Weicker made fools of themselves gushing over Dean.

And yes, I'm taping it for future reference.
