Perhaps Slave was simply offended by the "you can almost see the hand under his shirt" comment, which was, I agree, a bit much for visual imagery. After all, the man's no Jack La Lanne.
In any event, beyond the history and travel schedules, the content of the speech left some confused about the degree of collaboration between the Bush camp and Allawi tent. For example, The Daily Show last night ran the "We're better off, you're better off, and the world is better off without SH" quote from Allawi's speech, then ran a dozen identical quotes from GWB on the campaign trail, and expressed amazement that the speeches seemed to be written by the same people!
