Democratic National Convention - Day 1
Aug. 26th, 2008 01:21 pmOmigosh - what a disappointment.
With substantive issues to present and discuss, whoever's running the Convention decided a mix of movie stars flitting about, music with 8th Grade lyrics, Ted Kennedy making the same speech he has for the last 30 years, and Michelle Obama trying to convince us she's a good Mom, that we should feel for her because she had a sick Dad, and she really is just a regular struggling hausfrau is the kind of pablum that should be fed to the American public. They couldn't have made a more boring, irrelevant program if they tried.
Tonight & Wednesday - It's the Billary Show!! (I hope it's the last I ever see of either of them, but I guess I know it won't be). After reading the Official Podium Schedule I've decided I have a pressing engagement rearranging my underwear drawer.
Thursday night - the Main Event. I'll be tuned in.
I guess my real commentary on Monday Night is - what a missed opportunity to educate and impress us.
