So I was in my vehicle tonight and tuned to a station where I was expecting to hear a talk show, but instead, I was assaulted with the last few seconds of the Kerry speech at the convention. All I heard from Kerry was God bless America or something to that effect, and the announcer immediately came on. Just for the record, this was ABC radio coverage. Here's the first thing out of the announcer's mouth (not exactly verbatim, but close enough that I'm quoting it):
“We were told the speech would be fifty-five minutes, that was closer to forty-six minutes. He drove through that speech like he was back on the boat in Vietnam.”
Come on. I don't recall the reporter's name, but he was soon followed by Sam Donaldson who sounded as elated as I've ever heard him. I think it's about time ABC took the lead from the NY Times and just admitted their liberal bias. Sheesh.
