Sen. Clinton's speech was designed to satisfy those who supported her.  She spent time discussing their collective accmplishments so her delegates would feel they received their property recognition.

Then it was time to throw that collective support behind Sen. Obama.  And she did an outstanding job of that.

It was a great speech!

Agreed, it was a great speech despite what many on the right were saying this morning.

I'm glad we have Media Matters to point out how bogus Ron Fournier's articles can be.

The AP should label Ron Fournier's "Op-Eds" as "Op-Eds," instead of labelling them "Analysis."

The word "Analysis" makes these opinion pieces sound more scientific than they are.

 

Will someone count the "I"s used in the Republican Convention?

I will, right after I count the "POW's".

BTW, got an advanced copy of McCain's acceptance speech:

REPORTER 1: Senator McCain, was it fair to equate Barack Obama's celebrity with that of Paris Hilton?

McCAIN: I spent five and a half years in a plcae called the Hanoi Hilton...I know something about Hiltons.

REPORTER 2: Senator, with the NFL season getting under way would you care to make a prediction about who is going to win the Super Bowl?

McCAIN: My friend, when I was locked up for five and a half years I couldn't watch the Super Bowl. Some of my fellow brave American POWs and I painted roaches like football players and had our own Super Bowl until the guards caught us...

REPORTER 3: Senator McCain, would you like to tell the American people what it was like being held as a POW for five and a half years?

McCAIN: No...I don't like to talk about it.    ;>)

Page two!

You can't even parody this its so ridiculous. Although they should have counted all of the I's inside her other words.

Good catch, Wookie. Those "Sleeper I's" are the sneaky ones. And did you notice how many times she used her "eyes" when looking around? I like a good speech given in the third person plural.

Ron Fournier needs to fired immediately.

He can go over to Fox where he belongs as just another smear talking head...As more and more stations/publications drop AP services it won't be long before AP goes the way of UPI..Buh..bye... please turn out the lights when you are gone...

I just sent this to AP:

Okay, this has gotten ridiculous. Ron Fournier's treatment of the Democratic presidential primary and convention has gone off the rails. "Analyzing" Hillary Clinton's convention speech based on how many times she used one of the most commonly used words in the English language - the pronoun "I" - was in the truest meaning of the phrase just silly.

That is especially true since in that same speech, Clinton used the word "you" 24 times - and that is not counting any "thank you"s or "you know"s or the time she quoted Harriet Tubman. The simple fact is that Ron Fournier is dragging down the once high regard in which AP was held. And that is a true shame.

My expectation of receiving a reply: zero.

 

Interesting: The blockquoting worked on the preview but not on the post. So just to be clear, the text of the email to AP ran from "okay" to "shame."

Megyn Kelly at FOX says that if you substitute "Nancy Pelosi" for "I" in every sentence it makes Nancy Pelosi look really power hungry.  ;>) 

I wonder if we should count the number of Karl Rove's backside prints there are on Ron Fournier's nose...

If you change all the I's into "John McCain", then the speech was a total failure, because she didn't mention being a POW once.

Perhaps he would find it more appropriate had she used the royal "we"? And, of course, we all know that the podium is facing Mecca.

This is a perfect example of the petty, peevish, dishonest campaign to which the Republicans must resort to even have a chance of shoehorning McGrampy into the White House. The Bush Mafia know that they must win in order to retain control of the Justice Department. Otherwise, every last slimey one of them could face criminal prosecution, once somebody bothers to investigate the past 8 years. If Obama wins, the White House shredding machines will be running 24/7 over the Christmas Holiday.

Shredding machines? Yea, that too...

Most likely, Dick Cheney already has David Addington researching the legality of a pre-emptive pardon...or finding a foreign country to grant him political asylum. 

Yeah, I forgot about that. Didn't Halliburton move it's headquarters to Dubai? No doubt Dickless Cheney has a corner office waiting there. I'm guessing that there will be a mass NeoCon exodus out of the country, much like the sudden flight of Ex Nazis to Argentina after WWII.

Associated Press is picked up by local newspapers all over the country.  This allows the misinformation therein to be widely disseminated.  Unless one is a real internet follower of the news, it would appear impossible for the less dedicated news follower(voter) to get the objective truth.  The Democrats really have to overcome not just McCain but the MSM who are in the tank for him.  My friends sometimes ask me questions about the news stories but it is nearly impossible to set everyone straight.  I do not think dems can overcome the worst president ever with this media.
