I didn't watch the actual speech, but I seen the aftermath with Chris Matthews.

It was like a car accident. I knew I wanted to change the channel, but just couldn't make myself do it. It was both horrible and extremely funny. He was implying that the only reason Matthews asked the questions he was asking was because he was too far away for Miller to kick his ass. Too funny

There came a point when watching Mr. Miller the image of Abe Simpson came to mind and all I could hear was MATLOCK! MATLOCK! YOU'VE GOT MY PILLS!

Seriously, I don't really watch the conventions. They seem like this great big organized love fest/circle jerk and that disinterests me. Lining up veterans to speak on Kerry's behalf, the whole "reporting for duty" schtick, purple heart band-aids and the whole flip-flop footwear props just don't seem to catch my attention. Well, they do, but they certainly don't persuade me to go out and vote. In fact, if anything, it accomplishes just the opposite.

Mr. Miller did everything but persuade the swing voters to vote. He came off as an irrascible old coot who the Republicans slapped a microphone in front of because he's a "converted" Democrat. It was a poor speech and the antics afterwards should have been embarassing.....for everybody.
