Congressman Jose Serrano had some of his more pointed critiques of the Bush administration removed from his convention speech by Barack Obama’s nervous speech vetters, according to the Times. He predicted this would happen in a conversation with Mount Hope Monitor editor James Fergusson, who is down in Denver covering the proceedings.
Meanwhile, folksy Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer also had his speech sliced and diced, but he paid it no mind, ad-libbing and improvising his way to one of the more popular and well-reviewed speeches of the convention.
