Here’s a sampling of bloggers who received credentials for the Democratic National Convention “connecting audiences around the world with the sights and sounds of this historic event,” according to the convention website. Also included are sample of posts from some of these blogs.
Bitch Ph.D.: “I believe that M. LeBlanc is probably standing in a Very No Shit Security Line right this minute trying to get into the Pepsi Center for today’s convention coverage–which you all are, of course, watching on the teevee in the cool and refreshing convenience of your own homes.”
Georgia Politics Unfiltered: “Earlier this afternoon, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Howard Dean hosted a barbeque with a handful of bloggers credentialed to cover the historic 2008 Democratic National Convention…’The damage the Republicans did to us when we weren’t showing up in all those states was not ‘our values are bad’…the damage was we didn’t have any values,’ Dean said. ‘We have really strong values. If people knew what our values were and why we believe what we believe, they wouldn’t have any trouble voting for us.’”
HorsesAss.org: “The Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight (and every Tuesday), 8PM onward at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. I won’t be there, but come on by and watch the convention coverage on the big screen; I’ll be sitting underneath the Washington sign on the convention floor.”
Tondee’s Tavern: “This is Sen. Hillary Clinton’s night at the DNCC. We will have an opportunity to celebrate her remarkable accomplishments. Mainstream press has been working 24/7 to exploit the story line that there is a great division between Clinton and Obama supporters. Frankly, that’s not what I see here tonight, and not what I have seen here in Denver…Yes, there have been protests, and, yes, some delegates are unhappy and believe that she should be the nominee, but based on my interaction with delegates, the story of the ‘division’ in the Democratic Party is greatly over-stated in the mainstream press.” (By Amy Morton of Macon.)
DoubleSpeak: “Speaking of healthy, the McCain campaign has even taken to suggesting that Barack is too thin to be President. McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis issued a memo in which he attacked Obama for working out and eating healthy food. I mean, who does that? Protein bars? Organic tea? In John McCain’s America, a protein bar would be a deep-fried turducken wrapped in bacon…Clearly, Barack Obama is too fit.”

That clip of Pelosi screeching in her cave up there at the top of this thread is way too much for me. I am going to have nightmares, and it is your fault, Anchor!!!

Anchor, how about a new rallying cry for WMCC News……..”keep going, keep going, keep going!!!”
After watching Hillary tonight at the Dems’ party in Denver, I don’t think I’ll be wearing my orange shorts on the golf course Saturday, or ever again.

After watching a fair amount of coverage of the dem (socialist) convention, this question arises: do all female dems have fat tails or does it just seem that way?

I think “Gus goofed and was on Animal Planet. He was watching their alternate, “Bulldog Convention”–No wonder he thought those women were dogs…

Dear Augustus,
This yella dog has been told she has a cute tail - no complaints to date. Just to give you some data for your survey.
RE: tails, thighs, pantsuits, orange clothes, etc.
You folks need to get over judging women by their looks. For going on a date with them, sure…. but for a political office no no no no no!

In support of Cotton, (Mrs. was watching him blog from her state of the universe kitchen), he would hate orange now if it were on a puppy, a man, an old fart, a Biden, a gerbil, a muppett, or even on a Kennedy. If it is that orange, for Cotton I bet it is gender, (but not party!) neutral. He would never despise a girl, and would call out Biden’s thighs (o disgusting mental pic ICK!) any day as fast as any girl’s. ‘Gus is the one we need to watch for that gender worrisome talk. My tail did NOT wag.

Thank you Gladiolus for your comments. I would never judge Hillary or anyone else on the basis of their dress.
Hillary’s choice of this color was simply not appropriate for the occasion. Did she do it on purpose? That, my friends, is the question that must be answered.

Has anyone seen Clarence Jack Ellis at the convention? I have surfed several channels each night but have not caught a glimpse of The Jackster yet.
He’s probably crashing all the dinners, parties, etc. , dressed in his traditional African costume. That’s Hakim the Freeloader!

Cotton, I think I saw him. He was selling boiled peanuts in stained paper bags, 2 dollars a pint. Maybe I’m wrong, but it looked like him.

I know I saw him. He had a to-go styrofoam of caviar, and thermos with Chateau Lafite. He was wearing gold-plated Gucci loafers and a Turnbull and Asser suit to die for….He glowed in the dark
