Liveblogging The DNC - Day Two
7:38PM EDT
Late start. Just watched the tail end of Governor Rendell's address and "the only thing McCain will recycle" are Bush's failed policies. Bam.
7:46PM
For the record, I'm at home. I'm watching the coverage on television while enjoying hot dogs and Sam Adams Summer Ale. And as a lifelong political junkie, it doesn't get any better than this. YAAARRR!
8:02PM
Matthews just said that Rendell compared Senator Obama to Adlai Stevenson. Is this true? Yes it is:
"He is a little like Adlai Stevenson," Rendell mused. "You ask him a question, and he gives you a six-minute answer. And the six-minute answer is smart as all get out. It's intellectual. It's well framed. It takes care of all the contingencies. But it's a lousy soundbite."
In other words, "I'm supporting our nominee who is ultimately an eggheaded loser." Classy!
Continued after the jump...
8:09PM
Norah O'Donnell talking to a PUMA delegate on MSNBC who will only vote for Senator Obama if the party does the right thing out of respect for Senator Clinton. Silly, silly, silly. You know, I think we can all understand being disappointed after an election, but as far as I know, there aren't any accusations of hanging chads or screwy Diebold machines. This is nothing but an overblown over-indulged sense of entitlement.
8:15PM
Last word on the PUMAs. Here's the mindset... If you're losing a board game, just freak out and wing the board across the room so no-one can play. Then fold your arms and hurrumph, "So there! Stupid game!"
8:19PM
Lanny Davis on FOX News embarrassing himself like always. Paraphrasing: "It's not up to Senator Clinton to close the deal -- she's opening it up. It's up to Barack Obama to close the deal." I don't quite know what that means, but what a sad little man. And -- oh boy! -- Laura Ingraham up next. [rapidly switches back to MSNBC]
8:22PM
John King on CNN using his ink-spewing magic marker fingers to analyse... the convention floor seating chart! Very serious!
8:24PM
Shorter CNN analysts: There's nothing Obama can do about anything. He so screwed bad now.
8:27PM
I'm waiting for Carville to climb onto a rock and scream something about "his precious." Then leap up and bite Wolf Blitzer on the neck.
8:39PM
CNN lower-third graphic: "CROWLEY COLOR COMMENTARY at CNN.com." Yay! I'm so there.
8:52PM
Rachel and Buchanan fighting again. Rachel: "Senator Clinton is being used by the McCain campaign." Then later, Buchanan: "you are saying the Clinton supporters are insane!"
8:56PM
Buchanan is setting expectations for Senator Clinton's speech tonight in a way that will allow him to keep alive the Hillary Hates Barack narrative. He's suggesting that the only way Senator Clinton signals absolute support for Senator Obama is if she "absolutely guts McCain tonight" -- knowing that she'll attack McCain, but not go all Zell Miller and dismember McCain. So when she doesn't rip McCain to shreds, Buchanan can say that she might not be fully with Obama.
9:03PM
Matthews' hair is crazy right now. Shemp Howard crazy.
9:05PM
Matthews just referred to Howard Wolfson as FOX News' "little toy soldier." Hold it -- WHOA! Matthews just blasted Keith for commenting on Matthews' long-windedness on the Clintons. Something about Keith making the "talking too much" hand gesture. Matthews said something like, "I could do the same to you, Keith. It's what I feel!" Need video of this one.
9:16PM
As predicted, the Democrats have been ripping the McBushes all damn day and yet there's a running old media narrative -- mainly CNN and FNC tonight -- suggesting that the Democrats aren't attacking McCain today. That they're missing their opportunity. And the fiction of the script plays on...
9:19PM
Dick Morris on FNC. Dick.
9:21PM
And I disagree with Elvis in the comments who wrote: "Looking at Tim Kaine, thank The God™ it wasn't Tim Kaine. He looks like a weasel." Correction. Governor Kaine looks like Jimmy Hoffa.
9:38PM
My senator, Bob Casey, just delivered the line of the night so far:
"John McCain calls himself a maverick, but he votes with George Bush over 90 percent of the time. That's not a maverick. That's a sidekick!"
OH YEAH! Suck it, McBushes.
9:33PM
To answer Chris Matthews... The Democrats aren't mentioning Dick Cheney a lot because I assume they want to give the impression that Senator McCain has been George Bush's henchman all these years. Makes sense. In fact, there might be a few recent arrivals to the political discourse who might believe that McCain is Bush's vice president. The "Bush-McCain" slogan and all.
9:41PM
Mark Warner making with the talking now.
9:43PM
Warner: McCain "stuck in the past."
9:50PM
Warner: "In four months, we'll actually have an administration that actually believes in science."
9:54PM
On FNC... a commercial break. We can only hope CNN and MSNBC go to commercial in the middle of Vlad Rudy's keynote speech next week.
9:59PM
Well. Warner (from my home state, so I'm biased) kicked some McBush ass tonight. In fact, he accomplished: 1) his own goals for November, 2) Obama's "future" message, and 3) chopped the McBushes in the nards.
10:15PM
I really have to disagree with Rachel on her evaluation of Warner's speech. "The past versus the future" isn't literally about chronological time. "The past" refers to McCain -- who is running to be president in the future. That's the negative. Also, despite what Buchanan has been saying, every speaker tonight has totally "gutted" Bush and McCain. But since it runs contrary to the media script, it never happened. They're not going to be happy until every address is Zell Miller from four years ago.
10:24PM
Matthews gets snippy with Keith... now with video thanks to Heather and Jamie at C&L:
10:28PM
Governor Schweitzer of Montana is totally eviscerating Senator McCain on CSPAN. But of course the cable news networks are busy talking about how the Democrats aren't eviscerating Senator McCain. This is fucking horseshit. Here's Schweitzer:
"If you drill in all of John McCain's back yards -- even the ones he doesn't know he has... that single answer proposition is a dry well!"
HUGE applause. But the Democrats aren't attacking McCain enough, right? Jesus H.
10:34PM
Whoops! MSNBC accidentally just aired 1 second of Governor Schweitzer's speech. Wouldn't want to see a Democrat actually attacking the McBushes on the television. MSNBC really dodged a bullet there.
10:40PM
Whoa. Nice video about Senator Clinton. And now, here she comes...
10:44PM
President Clinton in tears mouthing, "I love you I love you I love you." Very touching.
10:45PM
"Proud mother. A proud Democrat... A proud American. And a proud supporter of Barack Obama."
10:48PM
"No way, no how, no McCain. Barack Obama is my candidate and he must be our president." Suck that shit, Buchanan.
11:03PM
"It makes sense that George Bush and John McCain will be together next week in the Twin Cities. Because they're so hard to tell apart." Bite it, Buchanan.
11:06PM
Why wasn't she the keynote speaker?
11:08PM
That was the best speech she's ever given. Perhaps the best speech any Clinton has ever given. Strong, clear, precise, aggressive.
11:12PM
Between Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, we've been fortunate enough to witness two of the greatest speeches in the history of Democratic politics. She hit this one with such precision and erudition, I'm staggered.
11:16PM
Brit Hume: "You'd think that by the end of this speech, we've been living in Belarus or something. Hmmrrruhmmph." Go to Flint, Michigan, Brit. Go to Reading, PA, Brit. Go to Camden, New Jersey, Brit. You melty cheese face.
11:25PM
Aaannnd... CNN immediately tracked down a Clinton delegate who, while crying, said that for the first time since she turned 18... she's not going to vote.
11:32PM
Key section:
But remember, before we can keep going, we have to get going by electing Barack Obama president.We don't have a moment to lose or a vote to spare.
Nothing less than the fate of our nation and the future of our children hang in the balance.
11:38PM
I'm winding down now. I'll be online for a while longer, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for liveblogging along with me. Thank you, thank you. More tomorrow night and Thursday night. And then, next week, we can really go off.

I don't know about it getting any better. My Jimmy Buffet LandShark Lager might want to argue with your Sam Adams hehe.
Posted by: IntoxiNation at August 26, 2008 8:10 PM
I feel some of this Hillary Drama is manufactured. It certainly exists to an extent, but I think the media has overblown it. A prime example is whether the Obama team saw Hillary's speech. First the media unveiled their "un-named sources" (read: making shit up) that they didn't. Yet then it is confirmed THEY DID. That's suspicious to me.
Posted by: Zanath at August 26, 2008 8:13 PM
PUMA delegate on MSNBC who will only vote for Senator Obama if the party does the right thing out of respect for Senator Clinton
And what pray tell would "the right thing" be?
Posted by: Broadway Carl at August 26, 2008 8:16 PM
Re: PUMAs
How do any of these people expect to be taken seriously with their twisted logic? This last one as well as the Chris Mathews freak from yesterday?
I've got to think that this is all a scheme. PUMA is not an organization of former Clinton supporters who think they were robbed of an election she lost fairly, but a core group of McCain supporters posing as Clintonites in an attempt to cast doubt in the minds of undecideds and independents. There's no other explanation for such stupidity.
And if these morons really do exist en masse, Hillary Clinton better hit her speech out of the park tonight, blow everyone away with her patented "clap-clap-point-point" and straighten these fuckers out.
Posted by: Broadway Carl at August 26, 2008 8:22 PM
OMG, Buchanan is on some really strong mind-altering drugs. Kudos to Rachel for putting up this shit in a rational, intelligent manner!
Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 8:48 PM
Im a big-time Sam Adams fan, I love it, but the summer ale just doesn't do it to me. The summer ale is a wheat beer, and if you drink it in the correct glass (wheat glass) then you get this intense lemon smell that is along the lines of floor cleaner or bathroom disinfectant. Cherry-Wheat is a much better choice.
LoL @ Carville jumping up screaming "My Precious"
Btw, Buchanna just got laughed at and booed on msnbc.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 8:50 PM
Apparently Kucinich gave a really strong speech, but no one seems to be talking about it. I didn't get to see it myself.

Chris Matthews is apparently drunk out of his mine. Did he just say Opéra bouffe? What. The. Fuck?
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 8:58 PM
Chris Matthews -- who is clearly bombed out of whatever gourd he has left -- is about to throw punches. Olbermann would kick his doughy ass. That's a fight I'd love to see.

I'm watching HD live on demconvention.com and avoiding all the blathering on TV -- Gov. Sebelius is on now.
J M, I saw Dennis Kucinich on the above site, but you can see a replay on www.kucinich.us.

Wow, you're quick Paddy! Thank you.

Looking at Tim Kaine, thank The God™ it wasn't Tim Kaine. He looks like a weasel. Biden looks like a bronzed demigod compared to Tim Kaine.

Chris Matthews on the appearance of Spike "Conspiracy Brother" Lee (who is obviously 100% high on The Weed): "SPIKE LEE! A little cultural infusion here!"
Douchebag Translation Circuit Engaged! Hey look, a Black Guy! Let's infuse our White Culture with his Black Culture and pat ourselves on the back for listening to what little Spike Lee has to say!
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:16 PM
Oh my God™ Bob Casey is a nerdlinger. This convention is in desperate need of a real inspirational speaker. Someone like Barack Obama, that speech he gave in 2004? Why can't we get that guy back in here, that was really ... oh, wait...
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:19 PM
Yeah, not too inspiring. And Hilary has never struck me as an inspiring speaker either. Hopefully Warner's got a good one..
Posted by: HaremScarem at August 26, 2008 9:21 PM
Casey: "That's not a maverick; that's a sidekick!" Good line, well done, Nerdy Nerdlinger.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:21 PM
@ Elvis - Biden looks like a bronzed demigod compared to just about anyone accept Obama.
I liked that Sidekick line just now.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 9:22 PM
@ JM Ashby - Indeed.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:24 PM
Also, Biden has the Ass-Kickingest cufflinks on earth. He could cut you in half with those fuckers.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:25 PM
I have no idea what Mathews is trying to say, and maybe he doesn't either.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 9:25 PM
Chris Matthews just invoked Frank Rizzo, the Philly Mayor that Rudy Giuliani still thinks about while masturbating, who once said, "I'm gonna make Attila the Hun look like a faggot after this election." Mmm, that's good politics.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:30 PM
I was just thinking about Obama giving his speech in front of 75,000 on Thursday and then I thought about McCain giving his speech in a gym with the sound of crickets overpowering his supporters.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 9:33 PM
Im late...but I love Sam Adams Summer Ale!
Senator Casey killed it with his side kick line

Did Mark Warner just say we as Americans need to "out-hustle" the rest of the world? Suddenly the best we can aspire to is fucking Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch?
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:37 PM

Keep in mind that Warner is running for Senate in a tight race and doesn't want to piss off the independents and non-wacko GOPers in VA - so he's probably not going to be drawing a lot of blood tonight.
Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 9:41 PM
Warner is ripping McBush a new hole.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 9:41 PM
Warner is kind of boring :/
Posted by: MCat at August 26, 2008 9:42 PM
I've been saying what Warner is saying right now for 7 years. Gore would have done exactly that: September 12, 2001: "My fellow Americans, today we tell Saudi Arabia to shove their oil wells up their fucking asses." And we'd have said "Yes, Sir! How far up their asses, Sir!?"
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:42 PM
yeah, MCat - but better than I expected.
Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 9:45 PM
@ CEU - Yeah, Warner just pandered hard to the Middle and the Right. Mmm, hot, buttered pandery.

Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:54 PM
lol @ Ashby his hair has been flying all night, he needs some hair spray
Posted by: MCat at August 26, 2008 9:55 PM
@ Paddy :
Opéra bouffe (plural, opéras bouffes) is a genre of late 19th century French operetta, closely associated with Jacques Offenbach, who produced many of them at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens that gave its name to the form.
The fact that Matthews dropped this particular bon mot makes him enormously, galactically gay.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 9:56 PM
I flip back to CNN for a moment and John King is playing with the magic-finger-screen again.

Posted by: MCat at August 26, 2008 9:57 PM
Readytohurl, im going to have nightmares now.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 9:59 PM
@ MCat - I saw that, and frankly I thought it was pathetic. My dad's something of a Mild Dodderer, and I was just offended by the whole tone of that petition. That sort of thing isn't going to help us.
Besides, at this point Obama just needs to challenge McCain to a Boner Test. Who can get it up, without The Viagra, the fastest? Whose magnificent presidential junk is not fettered with bayonet scars? Who's packing donkey junk and who's got shriveled, wasted, bayonet-punctured Old Man Junk? Fuck alzheimers, let's just get right to the boners.

Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 10:01 PM
Huge, HUGE need for a total WWE smackdown between Maddow and Buchanan. If her show does not include him, it'll be a hit, but not as big as hit as it could be.

Mmmm, Buchanan spittle. Bottle it, drop it on Iraq, kill tens of thousands.

IMHO Warner proved the pundits wrong! He shined!
I was a little disappointed in my own Governor, Kathleen Sebelius. Just a little!

@ Elvis I thought it was completely ridiculous but very funny
I do wish they would fight harder against mccain, I don't understand whats holding them back
Posted by: MCat at August 26, 2008 10:04 PM
Maybe they are saving the McCain attacks for the Clintons or Obama himself since they will get more universal air-time.

Not as much as Matthews. That guy needs a dribblecup.
Posted by: Broadway Carl at August 26, 2008 10:09 PM
It's all about establishing that McCain=Bush. They don't need over the top, Rovian attacks, they just need to convince more and more Americans that McCain isn't a maverick at all. There are still far too many that think so.

Bill Clinton appears to have been replaced by some sort of Disney animatronic Bill Clinton from the Hall of Presidents. His skin is simply to rosy-glowing and his neck is terrifyingly smooth. Also, there's no way he doesn't have one hand half-way up this redhead's skirt.

I expected Deval Patrick to be good. But Brian Schweitzer is surprising me. He ain't half bad.

Casey just said, "[Hillary] ran a fabulous campaign."
Let's shit on this once and for all, shall we? No she didn't. She ran a train-wreck of a campaign. Total clusterfuck. She failed. Let's not keep stoking the PUMA Bullshit Indignity Fire by praising the crapfest that was her campaign.

Thank you for calling the suicide hotline. Unfortunately we are experiencing a high volume of calls right now from pundits on the verge because their big drama dream was crushed tonight. We will be with you as soon as possible.
Sorry for putting you on hold Mr. Buchanan.....

Is this the same speech as her "concession" speech? It sounds almost exactly the same.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 10:44 PM
Oh what the hell. Why not mix politics & pleasure?
Posted by: PackyJ at August 26, 2008 10:45 PM
uh oh...she's dropping a lot of I's
Posted by: MCat at August 26, 2008 10:47 PM
It's been what, 10 minutes or so since she said the words "Barack Obama"? Bald Cancer Moms? Check. Hillary the Health Care Genius? Check. Soon-to-be-President Barack Obama? Eh, not so much.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 10:47 PM
Yep, I was thinking the same thing Elvis...
Posted by: HaremScarem at August 26, 2008 10:48 PM
"Support Barack Obama: He agrees with me, and I'm what matters. I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved Hillary Clinton approving this Hillary Clinton message saying I'm Hillary Clinton. Did I mention I'm Hillary Clinton?"
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 10:49 PM
Ok she's changing her tune now. She was going heavy-stump there for a minute.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 10:51 PM
Elvis - from her perspective, it's always been about Hillary... you didn't expect her to quit cold-turkey, did you?
Posted by: PackyJ at August 26, 2008 10:51 PM
@ Elvis I was peeping that out too
Posted by: MCat at August 26, 2008 10:51 PM
9:59 CST - Hillary throws Old Bill a fucking bone.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 10:52 PM
Ok fellow live bloggers its approaching my bed time, I have to get up for work and I need my beauty sleep. It was great critiquing with you all, see you tomorrow :)
Posted by: MCat at August 26, 2008 10:54 PM
lmao good job for including the equal pay part
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 10:55 PM
Heh, "Twin Cities". Nice one.
Posted by: HaremScarem at August 26, 2008 10:56 PM
The twin cities line needs to be ran with next week hard
Posted by: Tbest609 at August 26, 2008 10:57 PM
Hillary's on fucking fire right now.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 10:58 PM
"We're not big on quitting." Speaking from experience, obviously.
Posted by: HaremScarem at August 26, 2008 10:59 PM
LOL "Twin" Cities.
Posted by: PackyJ at August 26, 2008 10:59 PM
She's doing what she needed to do - talking about the issues important to her & her supporters, giving them a last hurrah, and telling them that Obama will address those issues & McCain won't.
Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 10:59 PM
As a resident of PA, is there any way we can leave both Rendell and Matthews in Colorado?
BTW, Casey 2016!
And yes Pat, Clinton supporters are insane! What's your point?

i liked it

"Thank you, God bless you, and Godspeed!"
"And PS - Get your heads out of your asses, PUMAs."
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:00 PM
I think she did pretty damned good.
Posted by: PackyJ at August 26, 2008 11:01 PM
Oh, and Carville as Golum was just classic!
Posted by: dc_wilson at August 26, 2008 11:04 PM
Pat is off chugging a bottle of Maylox
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:05 PM
10:12 CST : Chris Matthews has entirely lost his mind.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:05 PM
Mathews needs a valium.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:07 PM
Now if Rachel Maddow can seal this deal and ice this cake by snapping off Pat Buchanan's cock and beating him to death with it, I'll be a happy, happy boy.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:08 PM
Why are they playing Disco Inferno?
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:09 PM
Andrea Mitchell is clearly under the influence of many, many Oxycontin.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:09 PM
@ Elvis, you really think Buchanan's cock is stiff enough to be used as a weapon? Its probably more flacid than a slinky
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:11 PM
Christ, MSNBC is pissing me the fuck off. Let's roll right out of the joygasm that was Hillary's ass-kicking wrap-up into Andrea Mitchell demanding to know why some old bag is so very, very sad, and how awful it must be for her to be a disenfranchised woman now that Barack Obama has kicked Hillary down a flight of stairs. THANKS ANDREA, DEPUTY DOWNER!
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:12 PM
@ JM Ashby - Don't you believe it. Buchanan is swinging elephantine super-cock. You could crush several linebacker-sized men with that junk.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:13 PM
Brit Hume's an ass.
Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 11:15 PM
Hillary just completely redeemed herself in my eyes tonight. Far and away the best speech she has ever given.
Posted by: The Colonel at August 26, 2008 11:15 PM
Well in the least, im sure the only thing he is spitting is coming out of his mouth.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:16 PM
Bob, how do you watch FNC and not destory your television in the process by lobbing projectiles at it?
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:18 PM
McCain Campaign statement is a new high in the world of ass-hattary
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:24 PM
Chris Matthews, Insane Sports Analogy Guy: It was like carrying a ball. Keep it going. Keep running. Passing a ball. Like a baton! Passing a baton. Like a relay! It was a relay!
Holy crapballs.
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:25 PM
Yeah, JM. They had someone working overtime to find something - anything - to hit her with and came up wtih the lamest rebuttal ever.
Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 11:30 PM
Thanks, Bob!
Posted by: ceu at August 26, 2008 11:32 PM
Yes, thanks for hosting, Bob. See you tomorrow night!
Posted by: Elvis Dingeldein at August 26, 2008 11:34 PM
I missed most of the convention tonight - off seeing my dad in the hospital. But caught Hillary - and I've just got to say it. If she had been THAT lady during the primaries - she probably would be the nominee. I'm happy with Barack - was ALWAYS in his corner, but props where props are due - she was amazing! :)

Posted by: QueenTiye at August 26, 2008 11:35 PM
Thanks Bob, this is always a great place for a good laugh.
Posted by: J M Ashby at August 26, 2008 11:39 PM
Hillary went a long way toward redeeming herself tonight... and hopefully her rabid supporters will get a clue.
Polls close here in 15 minutes, can't wait to see what the hell happened in the primary with Sen. Ted Stevens, Rep. Don Young, all the various ballot propositions, not to mention the local whack jobs running.
Posted by: PackyJ at August 26, 2008 11:39 PM
MSNBC is falling apart! This convention is going to kill them, judging by Matthews' hair, he is first.
Posted by: Brad at August 27, 2008 3:07 AM
I saw the replay of Hillary's speech on CSPAN and I have to say she kicked ass! I think she struck the right balance between Michelle Obama's speech and what I think Joe Biden's speech will be like. All I have to say to all the Democrats that say we need to hit McCain need to just wait till Biden gets to the podium.
Obama/Biden '08!
