Seek Help

Listening to Hewitt replaying the Gore speech yesterday, I desperately wanted to call in to observe - with no offense intended to those who suffer brain injury, or their loved ones - that Algore sounds like he's had a stroke.

Listen to the audio (if you can find it): extended periods where he sounds like he's nearly somnolent, followed by - there's no other word for it - bellowing. Yelling, too hamfisted to be theatrical, worlds away from oratorical.

I'm sure Algore is well and healthy, and God willing he'll stay that way. Hewitt's probably right - it's probably the lack of staff; Gore has always been a wretched orator, and I'm sure his speechwriting talents were both minimal and on full display during his speech.

But oy - this man could have been President?
