High Anxiety in the Mile High City (Dowd on the DNC - "Teresa Heinz Kerry reprising Blanche DuBois")
New York Times ^ | 8/27/08 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 08/27/2008 5:42:09 AM PDT by redstates4ever

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.

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.

I’m glad to see that this edition noted the Bibi Picture Rule. Only fair.

yeah!

you’re right.

it’s a great metaphor for the “hate the rich” party.

and while you’re at it,

“hate the educated”, “hate the achievers”, “hate the religious”, etc.

“I’m telling you, man,” said one top Democrat, “it’s something about our party, the shtetl mentality.”

That's the Democrat Party in a nutshell. Small town mentality.

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

I thought she looked like a psychotic pumpkin.

i’ve been around lurking for ten years and a member since 1999 and i didn’t know that!

It's in the posting guidelines now, but probably wasn't when you signed up because CZJ had not yet married Michael Douglas in 1999.

No one knows. It certainly wasn't his money; she is quite rich in her own right. Perhaps he has talents and charms that are not apparent to outsiders.

Modo is actually making sense for a change.

Hillary added insult to injury by coming out Tuesday night looking like a house on the lower south side.

Mrs. B's theory on hearing this was "maybe it's time for the Tribulation," but in either case, it sounds like you're covered!

worrying that the Invesco Field extravaganza Thursday, with Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, will just add to the celebrity cachet that Democrats have somehow been shamed into seeing as a negative.

I wouldn't be so much worried about that as that the greek columns and amphiteatre motif will add to the Mussolini-esque cachet that Oba-mao and his thugs and henchmen have been developing all by their selves.

Granted, Catherine looks great but her looks to more or less have been tweaked. My nomination for a person with real looks and charisma, Jackie Broyles. He is adorable./Just Asking - seoul62........
