Oh, I wasn't bamboozled, but when the concession speeches were made, Kerry's speech (as bad - and interminably long - as it was) was almost bearable compared to John Edwards' ugly tirade. Silly me, I thought that he had seen the cartoon figure that Al Gore turned into, and was trying to avoid the same mistake.
Apparently, I was wrong... or JF-in'K flip-flopped... or both.
