Only person on this list that is remotely intreresting as an orator is Al Sharpton.

Maybe Alexandra Kerry if she’s wearing the see through dress . . . Dean just to see if his head explodes . . . Gore to see how many more of the eggs that that creature laid inside his brain have hatched . . .

But some of these guys — Tom “Mumbles” Menino? Bob Graham? Jimmy Carter? My god. You couldn’t pay me to blog these guys.
