They ran a couple dozen speakers past the crowd, who sat still for it. It's hard to believe that there are thousands of people who have such an appetite for propaganda that they will sit still for two hours of demagoguery. Heck, I can bearly sit still for half an hour of a good speech by a conservative. I'd much rather cut to the chase and read it in the paper in fifteen minutes the next day. These folks just wore my ears out. I had to leave for a Diet Coke and a pretzel before I could muster up the interest in a second helping.

By that time, the hectoring was over and the crowd milled in front of the White House, ready to march.
