Review of The Essence of Dick Cheney's RNC SpeechThe producer has distilled Cheney's speech to a succession of every fear-inducing word and phrase he uttered at the RNC, interspersed with boohs and chants from the audience to good effect, and it is entertaining (assuming you are of a liberal persuasion!) That being said I am not sure what part of the broadcast day this might be appropriate for, as it is undeniably one-sided and partisan. This could certainly be used in a call-in show format to induce calls from outraged republicans...... |

Review of The Essence of Dick Cheney's RNC SpeechYeah, well, it's not that surprising once this producer boils it down. It was only a matter of time before someone took Bush, Cheney or some conservative ranter during the RNC and manipulated the message to sound truly evil. Not that it needed any help... Play this any time during the day you want to be disgusted about Republican propagandizing. How about RIGHT NOW. |

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."
