A reader writes:
You were not hallucinating. Senator Kerry just gave the best speech that I have ever heard him give. In fact, it was so good that I was somewhat angry at him. If he had given such an articulate scathing critique four years ago, he might be running for re-election now. It is somewhat reminiscent of Vice President Gore who suddenly found the power of his convictions, and the ability to express them powerfully, after he lost the election.
Where were these statesmen when we needed them?
