It's described as such by speech-listening people.
It's an hour long.
Just to explain herself.
To somebody.
It's actually a five minute speech but ever since that fateful night of a near-fatal accident, a head on collision that sent Mrs. Collins sailing through the windshield of her vehicle and into the windshield of an oncoming semi tractor trailer, knocking her clean through the cabin and into the back where ten thousand bottles of novocaine broke open and saturated her mouth for the four hours that it took to pull her out and left her tongue swollen the size of an African bull elephant's foot, she hasn't been able to speak quite properly.
She's slow.
Achingly slow.
Slower than a snail watching the grass grow while dragging Stephen Hawkings up a frozen river of molasses as the paint dries.
Here is the video of her (historic?) speech. I bet ten dollars nobody wants that.
Wisely, they wrote it all down so you don't have to torture yourself. I bet ten dollars nobody wants that.
What's a guy supposed to do?
I'll draw a picture instead.

Look at the pusses of the 2 broads behind her. Demos, I presume.
Why do Lefties all look so sour?
How slow was she, Johnny?
Fast enough to gather all the words and thoughts needed to make her point and deliver a clear, lucid (luminous) and powerful speech.
Slow enough to let the words move out and hover over the chaos before landing with weight and meaning on the waiting crowd.
Her timing was impeccable.
Well, I was going to say something nasty about Collins but then I read MamaM's post and that stopped me. I guess I'll just have to resign myself to the fact that nice people like Collins can't see the extreme danger posed by Democrats. Not don't see, can't see.
Chip:
How do you do that? I mean, did you draw that drawing and create that video frame by frame? Or is there some program that does this?
Fr Fox,
Photoshop is based on layers or transparencies. That is, solid content on a transparency. Exactly like real transparencies.
The original is the bottom layer. (I use an intensity slider to turn it down so it's not so dark)
Open a new transparent layer on top of the original photo and draw a line. (a fraction of a full line, say, outlining the arm as a cartoon)
Duplicate that layer and continue the line.
Duplicate that layer and continue the line.
Do that 300 times, until the whole thing is outlined like a cartoon.
Now there is a stack of transparency layers 300 layers tall. It's ridiculous.
In Photoshop convert the layers to a timeline. Now both are showing, the layers to the side as rungs on a ladder, and the same thing in frames along the top as a filmstrip.
Side of what? Top of what?
The ladder of transparency layers and the filmstrip of frames show to the side and the top of the main window that displays the present timeline frame and present activated windows that display in the final saved file. The larger main window shows the layers that you have turned on.
At the end, I need the cartoon to change to the original photograph in 10 or so frames.
Back to layers I drag the original from the bottom of the stack to the top of the stack.
The last cartoon timeline frame is duplicated, the layers stay the same.
The original picture, now the top of the layers is turned down to 15% . It's clicked active along with the last cartoon layer at 100%.
Now the last timeline frame shows cartoon layer 100% and original picture 15% on top of it.
That last timeline frame is duplicated. Back to layers again the original is adjusted up to 25%
That last timeline frame is duplicated again, Back to layers the original is adjusted up to 35%
And so on until the original is 100% and completely blocks out the last cartoon layer so it might as well be shut off.
When the timeline is run in sequence it appears the line grows, then the original takes over from the cartoon.
ricpic, I wonder if it's a combination of won't and don't, with the conscious mind and the unconscious mind at work as a person attempts to find their way through life and navigate conflict with the tools they have on board? I have frequent encounters with people who initially present as measured, reasonable and aware in conversations about themselves and their life situation, only to hear them head off into denial, dismissal and happy-land thinking without their awareness of doing so in order to avoid realities that are too difficult for them to contemplate, process or accept.
It's possible Collins received something of value to her (other than personal satisfaction) by standing up and delivering as she did. Whatever it was that prompted her to put that speech together and speak up, I found within her words some of the Truth and Grace I am constantly on the lookout for when listening to others.
I just finished watching Scott Adams, who says it was the best speech he's ever seen, "The moment was amazing. The whole world was watching. There was anticipation..."
