[WOODPIE]

I hope someone else here saw the same news clips I did, of Dick and Rummy making their commemorative speeches at the Pentagon today. If so, please confirm and verify what I saw; two very hammy performances, obviously coached by the same person or persons. Both men's voice quaked and cracked and I think I saw Cheney's lip tremble, but it might have just been his normal lip-curling sneer, while speaking of those lost to attacks that day. For such deep emotion, their recovery was instant and miraculous when it came time to drive home the talking point du jour, which was, of course, some variant of "Stay the course".


No one could have appreciated this more than Jon Lovitz, who, I suspect, was the coach for this two-act melodrama. It was rank.

What? I dare to question the sincerity of these men? Why, yes. Yes I do. Sincerely



Ed
