At least one person doesn't think Ford's speech was so great

The networks and the blogosphere are abuzz about how wonderful Harold Ford's concession speech was. Did I miss something? First, I am always offended when people repeatedly insert their religious beliefs into a speech because I think that is something so personal, and the belief is cheapened by making it a vital part of selling other ideas, especially in politics.

More important, I didn't like Ford's telling people not to be angry about what was done to him. I am no fan of Ford's and I never will be, but the campaign tactics used against him were disgusting, and people should be very, very angry about them, and they should express that anger.
