2. thank you, Malaise! I was not even going to turn on the TV tonight.

[malaise]

11. You're welcome

:hi:

[inna]

3. OMG. OMG. Watching it now. This is beyond words.

[Dennis Donovan]

4. My god, he's struggling to communicate!

:cry:

[inna]

6. actually, he's doing absolutely AMAZING considering his injury;

thank god (and I'm an atheist) he's on his way to *full* recovery

[lunatica]

16. His thinking is as complex as a normal person though he stumbles on words

to express them. The words are there readily available. It's the tongue that needs to relearn how to move without conscious thought and effort to how it's doing it's job.

Scott will be fine.

Survived Iraq only to get nearly killed.

[animato]

7. Wonderful he can speak again

Clearly he's very smart, looking forward to following his recovery.

[Old and In the Way]

8. An impressive interview, in spite of the difficulty he had with his speech.

He was articulate and knowledgeable on the issues. I hope he has a full recovery because I think we'll be hearing more from this young man going forward.

[malaise]

9. It was great

:hi:

[Remember Me]

10. He's gorgeous, isn't he?

Articulate (despite the speech problem), young, handsome, sensitive- and thoughtful-looking. I love him.

[lunatica]

17. He love him too

He's so fresh and engaged in spite of all his experiences. Twice to Iraq and a vet for peace and now a spokesperson for the OWS. This young man is a walking example of what will cure this world, if anything can.
