Democratic convention, night three: Aggrieved victim of Obama camp’s racial demagoguery to endorse Obama; Update: Messiah returns to earth, appears in Denver
posted at 8:06 pm on August 27, 2008 by Allahpundit
Harry Reid’s due to speak any minute now, followed a bit later by Evan Bayh and Tom Daschle. Bill Clinton gets his eight-minute quickie around 9 p.m. ET to impart the sort of national security wisdom he gleaned from letting Osama Bin Laden run free during the 1990s, then Biden comes on sometime around 10:15 to beat up on McCain. There had better be major attacks on the GOP tonight because the fightin’ nutroots is already grumbling about the lack of fightiness thus far and surely no one expects Captain Hope during his moment in the agora tomorrow to stoop to anything so mean as actual politics.
Two pieces to pass the time while you wait, the first a vignette from Joe Conason about Obama snubbing Billy Jeff’s invitation to dine and the second the obligatory, ceremonial, 1,000th Hot Air link to Sean Wilentz’s TNR piece from February about how the “post-racial candidate” demagogued Billary to racial oblivion. Consider it an ironic counterpoint to tonight’s piece in Politico about former Clinton lackey turned Obama supporter Rahm Emanuel demagoguing McCain to racial oblivion. Note to B.C.: It’s really nothing personal. Barry O’s cronies do this to everyone.
Update: Ah, I should have guessed. It’ll be Waffles, wearing the veteran badge of Absolute Moral Authority and martyred by the evil Rethuglican Swift Boat attacks, who’ll do the honors in bludgeoning McCain.
Update: Biden’s speech is over and The One is onstage.

I need some Caduet for my high blood pressure after those volcanic eruptions of B.S. in Denver tonight.
Doesn’t anyone think critically or us logic anymore? Oh yeah, this is the DNC.
I can’t wait for the Transfiguration tomorrow!

Yep, he sure does. I love pure salient discourse.

Best line of BJ’s speech: “They said that I was too young and inexperienced too.” Yeah, we did. We thought that you would get all full of yourself and tarnish the dignity of the office. What were we thinking?
Akzed on August 28, 2008 at 9:11 AM
fixed that for you
DaveC on August 28, 2008 at 9:18 AM
BJ disappoints big time… In the end, the Clinton’s cowered down to the pressure put on them by the DNC and the messiah. In debt up the their eyeballs, they cut a deal rather than display some personal pride.
Why did this surprise me…..

They’re still scheming. Chelsea is being groomed.

Joel Mowbray reports from Pepsi Center:
Bill Clinton finally did what no one else has done effectively in the first two and a half days of the convention: He articulated a clear rationale for supporting Barack Obama, while also pointedly attacking McCain.
In short, Bill tonight did everything Hillary didn’t do last night. It could be that Bill was responding to criticism that his wife’s talk was most effective in positioning her for her next White House bid, whether in four or eight years.
Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but perhaps this was not a response to the complaints from Obama’s camp. Rather, maybe it was planned all along: Hillary leaves a powerful “I made history, too” message in the minds of the Democratic faithful, then Bill comes in a day later and does such a good job hitting McCain and stumping for Obama that his wife’s self-indulgence is forgiven.
Maybe that’s giving too much credit to the Clinton’s, but it’s certainly not beyond their keen abilities.
My own personal take: Both of these creatures pussied out big time; pimping the Liberal machine while whoring themselves out one more time.

After watching Wild Bill and Hitlery cave in, it obvious that Chicago politics trumps the Arkansas Mafia or are they really one of the same.
Now back to reality the Clinton machine is officially DOA (Dead on Acquiescence).
