   That was definitely the best speech I've heard from either party so 
far in this campaign. I was watching CSPAN, and I didn't realize that 
other networks skipped it. Amazing. You could be forgiven for cutting 
away from the senator from Iowa's wife for some commentary, and I'm 
probably not the only one who got up for milk and cookies during 
Gephardt's speech, but Barack Obama's was supposed to be the keynote 
speech, and there was a reason the Dems picked him over better-known 
politicians within their party.
   If you were watching the latest Kobe/Lacy/Michael/Martha update on 
CNN, or in-depth coverage of the Bunny-Suit or Shove-It "scandals" on 
Fox, then you missed a pretty good speech. I guess CNN, FNC, MSNBC and 
CBS were too busy /being/ the news and couldn't be bothered to actually 
/cover/ the news.
