It's getting hot in here

Dave Winer over at Scripting News says this about Kerry's speech:
"I wish I were watching it on TiVO so I could hit pause and catch my breath as he moved from topic to topic at utterly inhuman speeds. This guy is a very unnatural public speaker. It looks like they worked on getting him succinct, now they have to get him to work on the breathing. The crowd kept wanted to be part of the event and the candidate simply wouldn't let them in."
It was uncomfortable watching Kerry sweat.

The Post mentions it:
... the pumped-up Kerry, sweating like Nixon without looking uncomfortable the way Tricky Dick always looked uncomfortable, delivered it with real panache.
Maybe Kerry should carry a towel like Louis Armstrong did or Ruben Studdard should.
