New York

LAST NIGHT, Ambassador Alan Keyes cast a shadow over the proceedings at Madison Square Garden. Literally. As he stood at a small lectern in a grubby room across the street from the convention venue, C-SPAN played on a projection screen behind him. Every time Keyes gestured to punctuate a particularly vital point, he blocked out portions of the image. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s nose gets lopped off, and wraiths flit across the serious face of Stand Up and Holla winner Princella Smith.
