i agree that the speech isnt the point but its been made into the point. the defeat was terrible and i have no doubt that he and his organization were greatly to fault for that on top of the beating he has taken in the media. but i still wouldnt call that angry, at worst it was ill advised. it was a tired man trying to rally the troops after an initial defeat -- yaknow -- lost the battle but we will win the war. and i think the focus on the speech reinforces the degree of the defeat, and doesnt merely deflect attention away from it.
admittedly ive only seen clips of the speech. when exactly was he ungracious? did he call kerry a motherfucker cause i must have missed that?
