Are you actually shocked that they would do anything other than
lavish praise, no matter how bad, or are you just trying to up your post count? ;)

4. Probably not. They were issued with their opinions by GOP central office...
...before the speech began, so they probably saw no need to watch it.

9. I agree...
the last 10 minutes of that speech almost made me like him.

The first 50 minutes though were some of the worst oratory in in history. Bumbling, stumbling, stuttering, losing his place on the teleprompter...and the BSOD background. When they panned out I really expected to see Windows fatal error text. His head melted into the background through his speech and it was both mildly-nauseating and hurt my eyes.

6. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION for naturally shitty speakers.

If the media doesn't give credit to shitty speakers, who will?

7. It's 2000 and 2004 all over again.
It'll be the same with the debates. The goopers will suck and the media will say they rawked the house.
