What was your favorite part of the night? Vote 1, 2, 3 or 4.

1.) Hilary Clinton gets booed so loudly that she just hurries through her introduction and leaves the stage asap.

The boos were fabulous. She looked dreadful.

2.) Bill Clinton receives significant booing from the crowd.

Damn! I missed that. My "Mute" trigger finger was too quick.

3.) Richard Gere says its time to stop thinking about revenge and start thinking about understanding and compassion and gets a massive and extended booing. (Evidently nobody told Gerbil Boy that the script has changed)

Well, out of respect for our furry friends (Gerbils) I must protest. However, I nearly threw a brick at the TV when I realize he was going into a "peacenick" diatribe. It's funny, I'm usually a very calm person. But he ticked me off! Blessed be the mute button.

4.) When the police officer said, "Hey Osama, kiss my royal Irish ass!" Then removed his hat and said, "Oh yeah, this is my face, I live in Rockway bitch." And then the crowd went nuts and screamed USA - USA - USA!!!

I don't usually go for such coarse statements but I was with him. The USA bit was great.

Also worth mentioning. 60's legend, hero to the pacifists, Paul McCartney singing his new song, "FREEDOM" which says, "And I will fight, for my right to live in Freedom" much to the shagrin of peaceniks everywhere!

Indeed. I've never been a fan of his (or the Beatles) but he did well. I might have to give him a second look--at least some of his Beatles contributions.

I enjoyed Jim Carrey, too! He showed a side I wasn't sure existed in him. When he said that the era of selfishness was over, I realized that it is indeed, over. So many millions of us have changed our priorities in just a few minutes. Like one of the guys said towards the end of the show, *We all became New Yorkers on Sept. 11.* I will never get over the tragedy but I hope and pray that we never again lose what we found because of it.

I think I heard McCartney say he was in New York on 9/11. That may be why he feels a part of this cause.

He held up a photo of his brother, Battalion Chief Moran, who was a Freeper - BCM -
