Don’t worry, it’s safe for work.
Good night at the Convench. The coolest part was the roll call. Hillary was a class act. Bill Clinton was surprisingly brief (but unsurprisingly eloquent) and John Kerry said everything he should have said back in 2004. Joe Biden is a mensch with a beautiful family. From his 91 year old mom to his kids to his cute moppet grandkids. He also explained, flawlessly, how you can respect John McCain’s life history but not his current judgment to lead.
So I’m anticipating the ways in which the GOP will attempt to turn Biden into Mephistopheles. TPM caught the Colorado GOP Chair tipping the Republicans’ hand about how their basic plan is to mislead voters. First of all, let’s just get it out of the way that the Colorado GOP Chair’s name is Dick Wadhams.
Dick Wadhams.
I’m pretty sure the “ham” in his surname is silent. And I bet he gets some interesting Google Alerts.
Dick told the Denver Post that the Republicans are running a Ministry of Truth.
Anyone who is familiar with the concept of a “Ministry of Truth” should be aware of what George Orwell meant when he wrote of it in 1984. Either Wadhams is an illiterate dumbass who inadvertently passed along what he heard Karl Rove saying in the planning sessions, or he isn’t, thereby signalling his approval of using lies and propaganda to dupe the voting public. Both scenarios are equally plausible and equally scary.
Nightline featured George Stephanopoulos unveiling his “Heartstrings Report Card”, which rates the pols at the Convention on how well they played on the emotions of the audience. Biden got an “A” for his presentation. Oh, and Obama got an “A” in George’s “Body Language Report Card” for his demeanor during his surprise visit at the end of the night. (eyeroll) I sincerely hope that y’all are watching the coverage on PBS or C-SPAN.
