Sharpton Deep-Sixes Set Speech – Crown Goes Wild

Al Sharpton
last night believed the only speech so far that could be classified as
a real
barn burner. The spontaneous cheers and delegate delirium far
exceeded that produced by Jimmy Carter, John Edwards, Teddy Kennedy and
even Bill and Hillary. He was also the only featured
speaker to date who deviated almost
completely
from
the
prepared
text
distributed
to
the
press in advance of his appearance.

In a related vein we have noted that all of the prepared speeches we
have heard so far have a certain uniform blandness, as though they had
all been penned by the same lame hand trying to sound like many different
voices.  Is it possible that all of these speeches are coming out
of one single office somewhere near the heart of the Democratic Party
Convention organization?  And that Sharpton was the only Democrat
with enough guts to trash the prepared text and strike out on his own?

If so, all we can say is that the Dems desperately need some new speech
writers. Just for the record, the Dowbrigade is available.
