Dear pundits and other second bananas

[question everything]

The reason why these individuals speak is because they earned it. They were elected, or they have accomplished in some other areas. And they've earned the right to present their topic any way they want to, using any gestures and clothes that they choose.

That you "think" that this item or that item was not mentioned, your problem. You can always run for office and then have your own speech.

This morning some "expert" in body language claimed that Hillary's body language did not convey the passion or whatever. In contrast, he said, Michelle had wide gestures.

What bullshit! Some people use hand gestures and some do not. And Michelle is a big woman so every gesture of her will appear large.

Frankly, I don't like it when a speaker is pointing his finger, the way Michelle did and, yes, the way Bill Clinton did when he said that he did not have sex with that woman.

Either way, as the old saying goes: those that can, go out in public and submit themselves to the voters; those that cannot: comment.

1. Well said. They only wish they could command that sort of undivided attention.

They are so vapid and pretty they've lost their souls and it shows.

Michelle rocked it, Hillary broke my windshield. The m$m is in the background while I do housework. Big difference.

4. On NPR I heard Micky Mouse from KOS

who just wanted Hillary to prostrate, flog herself, pound on her chest and repent her campaign ads.

2. Actually WTF do we need pundits for in the first place

Maybe there was a need for someone to keep us informed before live TV became available. But now we don't need any stinking pundits. Just turn the cameras on the speakers and let us watch and form our own conclusions.

PBS probably comes the closest to doing that. But that's probably because Jim Lehrer and everybody else working there is like a hundred years old. They do seem to show more of the speakers.

3. Right. But since the network do not cover the convention gavel to gavel

there are other news like Gustav and Iraq - the morning and evening shows provide some highlights of the convention and then, as was this morning, they bring the pundits.
