Democratic convention, night three: Aggrieved victim of Obama camp’s racial demagoguery to endorse Obama; Update: Messiah returns to earth, appears in Denver

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.

Bubba’s going to entertain, I’m sure.

Why do I feel Billy Jeff is going to want everyone to feel his pain, I mean he was suppose to be president again and the mean black man took it away from him.

Good evening delegates well there’s candidate X and there’s candidate Y….

Geeeez Thrill up my leg, Matthews is asking Jimmy the Dimmni Carter if the racist South can vote for a black president. What a tool.

The only two term Democratic President in the last 50 years, Bill Clinton, only gets 8 minutes? They gave that loony governor from Montana more than that didn’t they?

That’s nothing… earlier this afternoon he said that only those people that don’t accept the result of appomattox won’t be voting for bambi.

Reid is putting the convention to sleep at the moment… god is he dull.
cannonball on August 27, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Bill Clinton is to speak on how Obama has national security credibility? Eight minutes on that is going to be hard to fill, even for the stemwinder himself.
Vashta.Nerada on August 27, 2008 at 8:15 PM
I think he’s only speaking for five (5) minutes. That’ll be great!

El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 8:14 PM
Speaking of that fat ass POS from Montana; Montanans are currently running about 72% in favor of drilling now, drilling everywhere we know oil exists… Then Montanans watch in horror as their governor gets up in front of the world and totes the DNC talking points “hook, line, & sinker”, proving to all that the fat ass is more concerned with representing the Democrat Party than he is with representing the will of the Montana people. Screw you Montanans, I’m a Democrat elitist and I will tell you what is important for you, cause after all, you people can’t be trusted to make decisions on your own you dumb hicks.

Kudos to Bill O’Reilly for telling Kucinich flat out Americans don’t want socialism.
backwoods conservative on August 27, 2008 at 8:27 PM
Just a guess, but I have a feeling Slick Willy won’t be repeating these words tonight:
By the way, I was thinking earlier, didn’t Obama at one point say, in response to a question about whether or not Hillary was on his short list, something along the lines of “she’d be on anyone’s shortlist”? I don’t care enough to go look it up, but I’m pretty sure this took place. Now we know, of course, that he was lying, and they never considered Hillary.
Was it all because “Michelle O hates Hillary”, like we’ve heard? Is it really just a personal battle between the Clintons and Obamas that made him make the stupid choice of Biden?
Something tells me if this had happened a few months ago, and Michelle Obama was involved, they may have been able to come together (no pun intended). We know Bill has a way with the ladies, and I’d be surprised if he hadn’t tasted brown sugar at some point. Missed opportunities I guess…
RightWinged on August 27, 2008 at 8:29 PM
Fantastic discussion between O’Reilly and Kucinich on The Factor just now. Highly recommended for highlights or even the whole clip, Allah.
You know, I’m with O’Reilly on this one. Kucinich is a really likeable, affable guy despite his positions.
Baphomet on August 27, 2008 at 8:29 PM
I’m just glad Kucinich isn’t running anything important.

I didn’t think Bill would ever sacrifice himself to the Democratic Party or anyone else, least of all Obama. I’m surprised. What is he getting in return??

72 virgins, nice. But with the likes of Ms Lewinsky, what kind of virgins are we talkn’ ’bout here?
Weebork on August 27, 2008 at 8:42 PM
“72…” either that or Hills debts paid? Though Bill would opt for the virgins and they wouldn’t even have to be virgins?

CyberCipher on August 27, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Yes CC, I was there for that treat. Montanans have given the Democrats a try after many years of GOP rule. Montanans are seeing first hand, that both Democrat Senators and the fat man living in the Governors mansion could care less about what the people want, desire, and or demand. These are typical Liberal Democrats, toting the DNC line; taking this state on a hard turn to the left. Liberalism has hit Montana hard and heavy. This is a Conservative minded state; just a matter of time before Montanans show these Liberal nutters the door.
I might add this; Republican politicians brought this upon themselves by way of acting like sleazy store bought losers; pimping the state out to the highest bidder. The next group of Republicans that eventually take back the helm of this state, had better bring their conservative principles with them and lead the way with their own principled behavior. Trust for any politician is very low in this state right now.

On PBS they’re talking to Walter Mondale, really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
RBMN on August 27, 2008 at 8:52 PM
That’s true everywhere. There’s far too much money in government for that to change, too. Just the federal government, with a more than $3,000,000,000,000 annual budget, has more money sloshing around than anyone could really conceive. The only way to a trustworthy government is with a very lean one.

Come to think of it, I did ask for it by my question.

Got an idea for the drinking game for tonight………. Every time Bill Clinton’s nose changes from one color red to another, you have to take a sip…….
He’s only talking for a short time……………… but it should be enought time to “get the drink on”.
Seven Percent Solution on August 27, 2008 at 8:54 PM
The Clenis is gonna lay down the ol’ party line, straight and smooth.
Wishful thinking to believe he would dare rock the boat after The Hildebeest caved.
It’s likely they have gamed this out: Osama Obama gets snuffed in this election, and it’s all Hillary in ‘12.
