Not a bad speech, all in all. Pretty good, in fact. Maybe very good. I just have one small nit to pick….
Given that illegal immigration and border security is hugely on the minds of Americans, I was hoping there might have been some real red meat on the topic. Instead, we were served a bowl of weak broth and platitudes.
One might be tempted to think that Vincente Fox must have a photo of W with a dead Tijuana hooker.
Update: LaShawn Barber focused on illegal immigration during her liveblogging.

There’s a picture opposite me
of my primitive ancestry
which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck-free.

Though I respect that a lot
I’d be fired if that were my job
after killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts.

Yes, I know the song, album and band in question.
No, I’m not telling.
