Same old, Same Old

This was a poor rehash of old sloganering. It had two cardinal sins.

1. It failed to deliver a "PLAN";

2. It was B-O-R-I-N-G!!!

There was a strange moment, 25 minutes in, where for the first time the crowd applauded (politely) ... like they turned on a sign, or somebody gave them an order (more than likely someone wanted to stay awake and the rest followed).

The final count,

Freedom....................21

September 11th............. 5

Terror/Terrorists..........35

Iraq/Iraqi.................93

Bin Laden.................. 2

Zarqawi.................... 2

Obviously, I'm biased (does thinking Bush a criminally incompetent boob and stooge make me biased or discerning?) but this speech is going nowhere.

UPDATE:
Apparently ABC News is reporting the awkward applause was initiated by a White House advance team member, Kelly O'Donnell on NBC confirms.

Oh, gawd, that's funny...and pathetic.
