I missed most of Frist’s speech so can’t comment on it. I did catch him saying that 9\/11 brought the Congress together…we all know that lasted so long as Democrats agreed with each and every one of the Republicans’ demands. <\/p>\n
The next speaker learned the hard way what can occur when you challenge that Ashcroft\/Homeland Security-enforced togetherness and I thought Daschle’s speech was excellent. While I rarely agree with his politics he has few rivals for gentlemanly conduct and understated elegance. The sentiments he expressed and his delivery were first-rate. If I had a copy of the speech I’d excerpt it.<\/p>\n
DeLay on the other hand is a puffed-up redneck and his brief manifesto was littered with buzz words. He’s a fumbling orator who at first declared he was ‘proud’ to be there then blushingly changed it to humble, quite understandable. I doubt DeLay has experienced a humble moment in his bug exterminating life. <\/p>\n
Pelosi’s entry was on the pandering side as well though her delivery far outshined DeLay’s. She was the only lawmaker who actually looked good in her sunglasses. There were a few in that ‘illustrious’ contingent appearing to use them to shield bloodshot eyes betrayed by a detectable unsteadiness on the hungover side of the hill, or looked to be part of some sinister mob.<\/p>\n
The band which no one acknowledged and the mingling crowd ignored as they left the scene was superb. Three cheers for the band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
