Quote from Thunderdog:
I heard the speech. He spoke well. I disagreed with just about everything he said. But he did speak well.
I agree. But he wasn't so much coughing as continually clearing his throat. Lieberman did a lot of that, too. (Perhaps bullshit contributes to phlegm buildup.) Of course Thompson read from the teleprompter. But strictly on style, cadence, pitch and all that, he did it better than the other speakers at the convention. And yes, I did catch the irony of his teleprompter remark.Quote from brocklanders:
Yeah, he did great at reading a speech from a teleprompter that criticized Obama reading a speech from a teleprompter. What's up with that coughing though? Give that man a glass of water beforehand.
He darn well better speak well, after all the acting coaching he's had.Quote from Thunderdog:

Good acting. He shouldn't have left Law & Order, where he did his best and most useful work.
