Ive been to a lot of conventions, and theres always something gratifyingly weird that happens.
Dan Quayle acting like a Dancing Hamster. Teresa Heinz Kerry reprising Blanche DuBois. Dick Morris getting nabbed triangulating between a hooker and toes.
But this Democratic convention has a vibe so weird and jittery, so at odds with the early thrilling, fairy dust feel of the Obama revolution, that I had to consult Mike Murphy, the peppery Republican strategist and former McCain guru.
What is that feeling in the air? I asked him.
Submerged hate, he promptly replied.

She added insult to injury by coming out Tuesday night looking great in a blazing orange pantsuit

despite how much this forum has traditionally mocked MoDo, shes been writing some fairly factual, informative columns lately. I wonder whats come over her? She's a PUMA with a pen.

She added insult to injury by coming out Tuesday night looking great in a blazing orange pantsuit... Hillary would have looked even better had she come out in a blazing orange jumpsuit!

The old gray whore is in failing health. The presstiutes are reevaluating their job security. A decent column or two can be included in the resume file for the new job search.

“She added insult to injury by coming out Tuesday night looking [psychotic] in a blazing orange pantsuit”. Fixed it.
I guess the orange suit was another dig at Nobama, "Orange you sorry you didn't pick me?"

I think the Dems have a new motto or credo or what ever, "DNC the party of submerged hate".

Dan Quayle acting like a Dancing Hamster. Teresa Heinz Kerry reprising Blanche DuBois. Dick Morris getting nabbed triangulating between a hooker and toes. As long as we are making comparisons, as anyone noticed the little wire headsets that CNN's talking heads have now make James Carville look like a cross between Quark and the Borg Queen?
