The Democratic National Convention has descended in to chaos today both inside and outside the Time Warner arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Following the debacle earlier today of the ramming through over the loud objections of delegates of pro-God, pro-Israel language to the platform, fire marshalls have locked down the arena leaving a reported thousands of credentialed delegates and reporters stranded outside.

Reporters on Twitter are sending out on scene reports and photographs with commentary such as "mayhem", "fail" and "farce".

"Democratic convention descending into farce. After "booing God" debacle, delegates, and media locked out of the convention by fire marshals" , Nico Hines, Times of London.

"Complete nightmare for the DNC. Thousands of delegates and media stuck outside. Fire marshals have closed the building. #DNCFAIL", Matt Spence, Times of London.

A riot would be so appropriate. Someone start a rumor they are handing out some of Obama’s stash in the arena. Everyone in the arena gets gift cards and free cell phones.

The fire department got the wrong idea when they said there was a flamer on the stage.

She probably could use the money, no question about that. Hope she got a lifetime supply of Valtrex after whiffing the woofer of the Sink Emperor.

I have not watched a minute of it.

Sounds like the media has had a collective orgasm over the Wookie and Bill Clinton. The word ELECTRIFYING is everywhere.

Everyone was watching FOOTBALL last night, no one saw Bubba’s ELECTRIFYING 48 minute speech. They moved the game to Wednesday so it would not interfere with his majesty’s speech, I forgot and didn’t get my pig skin pickem pick in. Doesn’t matter, I would have picked New York over Dallas. Look for Crissssss Matthews and the gang to declare Obama the winner of the election after he pleasures them tonight with his magic teleprompter.

History channel 2 which I guess is History International with a new name has something on REAGAN tonight. I guess I’ll watch that or the horrible Cubs losing to Washington again, anything but the Queercrat convention. I’ll rely on those of you who are watching it to tell me how many reporters will need to change their underwear.

Electrifying sounds accurate. You’d have to have electroshock treatment to come up with such ecstatic visions of such dreck.

Don’t count on me. I don’t even watch Fox News.

There is a book out that explains how poorly run this administration is. Including having
his speech writer make his decisions for him so the speeches are good.

I have no idea who's book it is since I just heard about it today.

I’ve been watching ESPN Classic the last few nights (they’re commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics). On Tuesday they showed the original broadcast of all of Mark Spitz’s races, plus contemporary interviews and whatnot; last night they showed two specials on the kidnapping and eventual murder of the Israeli athletes and coaches by Arab terrorists (the first was the original broadcast, in which they would show the German cops trying to sneak into the room where the “guerrillas” were keeping the hostages, which the terrorists saw on TV and the Germans had to abandon the plan). Both events happened 40 years before to the day, so I’m hoping that they’ll show some other original broadcasts today and during the next few days, including of the infamoous basketball final in which they gave the Russians two do-overs so as to let them win the gold (à la Villarraigosa with the platform-amendment vote at the DNC—that YouTube clip is unbelievable, and it’s clear that even after three tries nowhere near 2/3 voted AYE, which made me quip that at least when the Russians got two do-overs they scored a basket the third time).

I think you might be referring to Bob Woodard’s new book maybe. ???

Fire marshals locked out delegates and the media?

Vast right-wing conspiracy? /sarc

No problem. The DNC made arrangements for the delegates and the msm:

I had to laugh when Sandra Fluke addressed the women in the audience as *ladies*, ladies don’t discuss what they do in their bedroom before the whole country. Fluke is being groomed to be the next _____, fill in the blank, the next president of planned parenthood, the next senator from wherever. You can be sure they have big plans for her.

I thought it was quaint to hear her use the word *ladies*, if you are around my age you may remember when the feminists tore down and ridiculed that word, now they put Fluke in a dress and high heels and pass her off as a *lady*.
