Blame it on my time in Belgium, but I don't want to see the video of the speeches, I want to read them.

Anyone know where I can get transcripts?

From an AP news story by Scott Lindlaw:

"Instead, he will have reason to wince as their upstart rival, Barack Obama, is coronated."

Coronated? Really?

I understand he didn't want to use crowned twice in two sentences, but WTF?

If we're going to make up words, I think "diademed" would be more euphonious. Or how about a real word, like "acclaimed," "chosen," or even "designated?"
