We’re back in front of the TV and tuned in to C-SPAN for day two of the Republican National Convention. We turned on the set and who is speaking? Mitch McConnell.
Is there any more mush-mouthed, uninspiring speaker in national politics than Mitch McConnell? Okay, I’ll give you Harry Reid — but short of that dreary measuring stick, McConnell is unparalleled. Wooden, colorless, with mechanical gestures and monotone inflection, stale lines and lame jibes, McConnell can’t even get a rise out of the silly hat-wearing crowd in the convention facility. He may well be a great tactical leader and parliamentarian who fits in well in the Senate club rooms, but he doesn’t belong on a podium speaking to a crowd, much less giving an address at a national political convention.
Mitch McConnell on the screen when we turn on the convention? The Republicans are lucky we didn’t immediately turn the channel.
He always looks like he’s just taken a bite of a shit sandwich. I’m not a fan of Harry Reid either; another weak handshake.
