Fox News Channel’s Jim Angle had a funny line just now, in teasing the upcoming Bill Clinton speech which has all liberals in wrapped anticipation.
”One of the interesting things tonight Bill [Hemmer] is that Bill Clinton’s speech will be ten, minutes, long. Ten minutes, Bill! I’ve seen Bill Clinton clear his throat for longer than that, and you’ve had a lot of the other people here who have spoken longer than that, so it is a little odd that you would have the only Democratic President to be re-elected since FDR to get only ten minutes on the podium—they say that is what he told them his speech would take, so that is what we hear about that…”
Bill Clinton is the one who in a previous Democratic convention (1988 — nominating Michael Dukakis—that went well) was a guest speaker and so thoroughly bored the audience with his twisted rhetoric and self-serving gobbledygook that the only cheers he got was when he said, about 87 hours after starting, “and in conclusion…”.
According to Democrat-luvin’ MSNBC at the time, “He droned on and on, and droned on,” remembers Tom Brokaw. “When he finally said ‘In conclusion,’ people began to cheer.”
(Of course this was all before he committed adultery with a young intern in the Oval Office and stained her dress with his “intellectual nuance” and lied left, right, and center about it in sworn testimony and to the public, and was subsequently impeached by the U.S. Congress. Since then, everything he says is of course seen by liberals as Messianic).
Maybe Clinton was thinking of something else when he said it would only take a few minutes tonight.
