I'm sitting here trying to decide whether I'm more distracted by John Edwards's LL-ish tongue action, or the growth on his upper lip that seems to get larger every time he's on TV. Either way, the speech is pretty underwhelming.
The best speech of the night, and probably the best speech of the convention, was given a few hours ago by Rev. Al Sharpton. (I was watching him finish up on C-SPAN when the channel cut out, which is when I found out that MSNBC and FOX had stopped covering it. I swore. Loudly. Luckily, CNN was still carrying it.) He might be stuck sitting next to Terry "Why Haven't I Been Fired Yet?" McAuliffe at the moment, but Al rocked the convention pretty hard.
Yeah...maybe I teared up a bit during Sharpton's speech. So what? Bite me.
Yeah, I noticed that rapid tongue action a few times too. I hope he's as generous with it with Mrs. Edwards.

So I wasn't the only one who noticed the tongue thing! At one point, he went on an extended tongue-waggle before saying something like, "I bet you're wondering how we're going to accomplish this," and I was thinking, "No, I'm wondering what's going on with your tongue!" I don't know, I just don't find John Edwards as charming as handsome as most of the media seems to. Now, I could get on board with some Clinton tongue-waggling.
