July 27, 2004EmbargoesI'm getting emails containing the text of the speeches tonight, including Ron Reagan's speech. His is "embargoed" until the delivery of the speech, which is scheduled for 10:02 PM. I guess this means that if I were assigned to cover Ron Reagan, I could pre-write the story, fill in some comments about his tone or the audiences reaction, and file the story the moment he finished speaking. I understand now why Tom Brokaw didn't seem to be paying attention to Clinton's speech last night. He'd read it already. Posted by rickheller at July 27, 2004 05:30 PMComments
Scripted to a "T". You can still do all those things if you wish, Rick. You can also pay attention to see if they deviate from their scripts. I always read the speeches later. I rarely if ever watch them--life is too short, and I'm not on the Oscar nominating committee. Last night this approach let me watch that wonderful old masterpiece of a spaghetti Western from Leone and Bertolucci, Once Upon A Time in the West. It seemed somehow appropriate. Posted by: Tully at July 27, 2004 05:39 PMWould it be possible to establish a web page where people could view important convention speeches in their entirity and apart from the blog commentary? I think this would be a great resource for the Centrist Coalition generally and for other weblogs to cite in their own commentaries.
