I'm sorry I failed :(
I just tried to watch her speech. I really tried, but I couldn't do it. Less than half way through some kind of self-preservation mechanism kicked in, preventing me from wasting another second of my precious life trying to decode her mindless, rambling, dribble.

1. Nah, you were smart
I didn't bother and am quite happy I didn't :-) We have plenty of threads here telling us what she said

2. I don't even try anymore
I remember sitting through one or two stump speeches during the election and losing brain cells faster than a meth addict on a bender. That woman is quite possibly the stupidest moron ever to hit a stage.

4. It's cool
No, it's all cool. We didn't watch Caribou Barbie here either. We switched on the AKC national championships on Animal Planet. A much better use of time.

5. Is there a transcript available
I'd like to read the funny bits without torturing myself looking at a video for 41 minutes.

8. I couldn't take much more, either...
She, as usual, sounded like a third grader getting up to read for the class. The speech was apparently written by Al Gore's speech writer. (What's up with him?) She managed to make even his words sound childish. What disturbed me more was Amy Stoddard's comments this morning, lauding and dignifying her crappy performance. Of course she did!

10. as I read on Andrew Sullivan's blog--
She doesn't give speeches; she gives "word salads". ;)

12. I knew better. I've never been able to stand the woman for longer than a few seconds.
Her whiny, shrill voice bugs the sh!t out of me, like fingernails on a chalkboard. (Same thing for Dubya). Her 1968 Joanne Worley "Laugh-In" knockoff hairdo annoys me. And the fact that every time she opens her mouth, lies pour out.

Can't do it. Life is too short to waste it on that piece of sh!t.

13. I decided not to watch, choosing instead to watch my dog defecate in the backyard.
It wasn't even a toss-up.

15. That would be "drivel," not "dribble."
Then again, I wasn't watching, so maybe she did dribble.
