And Bobo has been hilarious trying to chastise everyone in the media for blowing up the Palin story--Leher responds with "okay, and for more on the Sarah Palin story we go to . . ."
I was wondering what we were doing with the non-white, non-black count. At Obama rallies hereabouts, we usually just count asians, generically defined.
From dKos: Update: Fred says the Palin pick has us in a panic. Well, sure. If finding enough time in the day to write about all of her problems is a panic, we're in a panic.
Man, Joe's reminding them of some of McCain's lowlights in their eyes - the Supreme Court compromise? He's sucking any enthusiasm out of the crowd that Thompson might have given them.
Wait, I thought he was about to compare Obama's record before the presidency to Clinton's, not tick off all the republican objective Clinton accomplished.
When will someone point out that it's "public will" not "public opinion" and that, technically, serving the public's will is what our representatives are supposed to do?

That's one white-ass convention!
its about time! did you miss Bachman?
Yeah I did. Was she bringing the crazy?
Anybody catch the anthem?
MB was just obnoxiously smug.
I just tuned in - fill me in!
Wow - that crowd has the enthusiasm of your typical funeral gathering.

I just read a comment from a blogger who said that he has been to some pretty swinging funerals--this is a lame party.
So McCain's family sustained him in prison camp. Presumably the one he ditched for Cindy?
Gotta love separation of church and state--doh!
Holy crap, dr! I just read your drinking game rules. How plowed are you?
BREAKING -- BREAKING -- Briston Palin to give birth in a 4 foot by 4 foot cell in Hanoi. -- BREAKING
I don't actually have any liqour in the house. Again.
Suggested topic: things whiter than the GOP convention.
Michael Bolton. Just barely.
CNN factoid. McCain was a POW. Who knew?
Protesters outside the Xcel Center tear-gassed. Remarkable job controlling the narrative!
Anybody playing DR's game will probably be passed out in about thirty minutes at this point.
I love that screen.
oh hell, i should be working, but what the heck...
i swear i think i saw a black woman in the crowd, but s. is sure i imagined it.
I love the Texas delegation's matching outfits.
Big shout-out for Elaine Chao. Who knew?
Seen this?
There he is--the black guy--I saw him! I saw him!
I wonder if he's a Kramer-style empty seat filler. And as for seeing a black woman, unless it's Condi, ash, I've gotta agree with S.
is anyone else watching this on CNN? what's the deal with the guy near the mike who yells "hee-uhn!" at every applause line?
also, could we (the OG) get matching outfits like the texas delegates have?
the what desk?
The resolute desk?
Yeah, I hear that guy too. He got old about half an hour ago.
Join McCain was a POW? Who knew?
whoa. stepford.
where's cecil?
dr: I did see that piece. Palin gets creepier and creepier.
ash: I want to see a debate between Cindy and Michelle.
He's at dinner - I just texted him.
hell yeah! i would pay to see that debate, wobs. but keep palin away. she's armed and dangerous.
Is it me, or was the response to W. a little bit on the tepid side?
Cindy McCain is a regular American.
What is happening to that elephant?
nooooooo!!!!!
Jesus, is this trot out the old corpses night at the RNC?
"ronald reagan never forgot who he was."
um, yes he did!
The GOP - our leaders range from dying to dead!
fred who?
Fred is gonna knock it out of the park.
"We're not whiners", says Fred.
WTF? sunday talk shows and washington cocktail circuit?
I just switched to CNN, is that Fred that keeps clearing his throat or someone else?
you had me at field dress a moose.
What's with this crap about sons in Iraq, I thought candidates families were off limits now?
Run a municipality... into the ground.
I love the diamond encrusted WFM pin (apparently Women For McCain?).
oops, my bad. she was bangladeshi, not black. it was the adopted daughter, sitting behind cindy.
(s. said, "ah, my countrywoman! i'm so sorry for you!)
I wonder how that mischief filled youth became the man we know today?
It's not just a political speech, it's a bachelor party roast!
I was digging that pin too.
Just jumping in to ask: did they just suggest that John McCain's dating a stripper helped him survive prison camp?
Wow. "These are the kind of people John McCain understands."
I was wondering what we were doing with the non-white, non-black count. At Obama rallies hereabouts, we usually just count asians, generically defined.
John McCain was a POW? Who knew?
whoa. pierced groin = TMI.
Dating a stripper=presidential character!
Dating a stripper and having dysentery.
Any frat boy who went astray in Tijuana has what it takes to be President. Truly, this is the American dream.
He gave them the names of the Green Bay offensive line... except when campaigning in Pittsburgh.
doc c -- ha!
Walking in a marketplace surrounded by armed troops... yup, not publicity seeking.
Whatever drug Cindy looted from some charitable organization tonight, I want.
From dKos: Update: Fred says the Palin pick has us in a panic. Well, sure. If finding enough time in the day to write about all of her problems is a panic, we're in a panic.
asshole.
Wow. This is wingnutpalooza.
hey, i saw newt gingrich!
and a back man!
John McCain will tell the ungrateful world: get off my lawn!
Did he say Jah bless America? There goes the rasta vote.
Agh! Old white people dancing! Do. Not. Want.
Traitor time: urge to kill rising...
Joe-mentum!
yah, I think ol' Thompson just got so pysched for john that he must have mistaken john for....god?
"Thank you. So good to be here. Glad the wind was blowing in this direction. Thank you..."
joe lieberman, former democrat
He's appearing in the Zell Miller slot. Maybe he'll challenge Chris Matthews to duel after this.
But we do think about their skin color, eh Joe?
here he is, arnold benedict "joe"
YOU'RE NOT A FUCKING DEMOCRAT!
"A Democrat like me"? Asshole.
Only one of them has voted with the Bush administration 90% of the time.
I wonder how John McCain gained the courage to reach across party lines?
All of these natural disaster references only bring up Katrina...
So I'm guessing that Obama's relationship with Lieberman as a mentor has broken down somewhat.
Thats right joe, John S. McGain-More Money
There's a big chunk of that hall that's empty. More Kramer's please!
I thought we established McCain got the courage to do these things by dating a stripper known as the Florida Flame.
A former democrat asshole.
"Worked together to end the partisan paralysis that blocked judicial nominations." Go Moderate McCAIN!!!
Man, Joe's reminding them of some of McCain's lowlights in their eyes - the Supreme Court compromise? He's sucking any enthusiasm out of the crowd that Thompson might have given them.
He wouldn't have taken on corrupt GOP lobbyists - like Charles Keating!
"another go along partisan politician"
Say that ten times fast. Joe Lieberman is a pro.
I'm sure they're all wondering who the hell invited him now.
I hope the kind word begins "one night at a key party in 1997..."
Wait, I thought he was about to compare Obama's record before the presidency to Clinton's, not tick off all the republican objective Clinton accomplished.
The thing I like about 20 billion square inch TV screen is that it's demure and tasteful. Not showy like the Dems.
Washington bureaucrats will fail where the Vietnamese succeeded.
Joe is officially sucking the GOP's dick... That stuff about Sarah Palin being a maverick
When will someone point out that it's "public will" not "public opinion" and that, technically, serving the public's will is what our representatives are supposed to do?
I want to be in the Senate when Joe goes back to work next week.
Wow. Us "socialist Democrats" just got the shaft!
At the age of 17, which I believe was back in 1873.
Would it be inappropriate to ask Lieberman if it was worth this sacrifice to finally get into the country club?
What I'm getting from tonight is that John McCain puts country first.
David Gergen said some Ds will be "annoyed" with Lieberman's speech. That's an understatement.
Fox News Reports -- When John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and Lindsay Graham get together, the party is on like Donkey Kong.
Rove's verdict: a good night for John McCain.
I tried playing the drinking game, and I woke up 17 and pregnant.
Oh know I did-n't!
