High Anxiety in the Mile High City (Dowd on the DNC - "Teresa Heinz Kerry reprising Blanche DuBois")

I’ve been to a lot of conventions, and there’s 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.

despite how much this forum has traditionally mocked MoDo, she’s been writing some fairly factual, informative columns lately. I wonder what’s come over her?

She's a PUMA with a pen.

I thought we were missing your homework! Here, go study: The 2007 FreeRepublic Lexicon (Lingo, Dictionary, Lore Handbook), especially the pic rule. There will be a quiz.

Hillary would have looked even better had she come out in a blazing orange jumpsuit!

.....I wonder what’s come over her?.....

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?"

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?
