“Speaking to a crowd at the Hanover Inn near the Vermont border during his final stop of the day, Mr. Bush finished a fiery riff about protecting the country as commander in chief — “I won’t be out here blowharding, talking a big game without backing it up,” he said — and was met with total silence. “Please clap,” he said, sounding defeated. The crowd laughed — and then, finally, clapped.” ...and I note the word "fiery." Cheers, JR
