Review of The Essence of Dick Cheney's RNC Speech

To some listeners, this piece may seem like an attack on the vice president. To others, it might appear to be a missive about the dangers of a post-9/11 world and, of course, the relative safety of Bush/Cheney v. Kerry/Edwards. The producer does a fine job of taking the essence of Cheney's apocalyptic warnings and knitting them into a tidy, and at 2:02, a very tight package. The words come so fast, I found myself chuckling: "Danger ... 19 men armed with knives ... Fanatics ... Terrorists ... Nuclear weapons ... Technology ... Communism." I only wish the producer had come up with a similar piece on Edward's optimism or Kerry's unending use of the phrase "I have a plan ... I have a plan ... I have a plan."
