#1 Saw the speech on C-SPAN. Translated into English it made no damn sense. It was kind of fun to watch it. When Bashir hit a key point (obscure to me) he would start clapping and then everybody else would clap like hell and outside cameras would show his bosters outside jumping and clapping... Then he would quit clapping and everybody else would quit bang.

Right out of the outer-limits....
A real alternate reality.

#2 3dc-
I have a wonderful book about Stalin's last days that has a similar story - everybody gives him a standing O, which runs about twnety minutes - but as the applause starts to die, Stain gave them a dirty look, and everybody kept going. Something like two HOURS later, some poor bastard finally gave out and sat down. Everybody stopped then, and the guy who stopped first was arrested the next morning.
