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.

Sigh, I’ll have to miss Slick’s speech. The season opener of Bones will be on at 9; looks like the Gormogon’s back ;-)

Why THIS job, not THE job, Bill?
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
He remembered to say “man for the job” instead of “boy for the job.” Good for you Bill.
RBMN on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Lies damn lies! LOL
elduende on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
man for the job or person for the job?
ganeshpuri89 on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
I haven’t read the comments in this thread yet so indulge me.
SITTING HERE WATCHING THE DEMOCRATS CHEER FOR FIVE MINUTES FOR BILL CLINTON, I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BELIEVE – AND IT MAKES MY STOMACH TURN – TO THINK OF HOW THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HOLD THIS MAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR #1 BEING UNFAITHFUL TO HIS WIFE AND #2 FAILING THE COUNTRY BY SPENDING HIS DAYS IN THE OVAL WHITE HOUSE BEING UNFAITHFUL TO HIS WIFE.
Mr_Magoo on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
finger wag, lol
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
His nose just grew longer when he said Barack Obama is the man for this job.
God,these people who believe this crap are morons.
LOL!!!!
Winebabe on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Is this supposed to be a foreign policy speech?
And are we to ignore the X/Y bit from yesterday?
Dubn8tr on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
ARMS CONTROL that must be the new code for GUN CONTROL.
mad saint jack on August 27, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Where’d they get all those American flags? I thought this was a Democrat convention.
IrishEi on August 27, 2008 at 9:12 PM
What? Obama will rebuild the military? Didn’t Barry himself say just the opposite?
mikeyboss on August 27, 2008 at 9:12 PM
I don’t think it’s a good idea to speak of ‘drilling’ with Bill Clinton included in the subject matter.
Weebork on August 27, 2008 at 9:12 PM
nonsense
ndulik on August 27, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Is Bill’s nose getting bigger and bigger… hummmm
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:12 PM
HEY BEAVIS, HE SAID LONG AND HARD
HU HU HU
CFL on August 27, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Because if there’s anything Clinton would know about, it’s a badly strained military.
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 9:12 PM

ndulik on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Crowd’s starting to look around/quit paying attention — until the APPLAUSE sign lights up I guess.
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
well there it is.
ganeshpuri89 on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Keep pointing that finger… wonder where’s it’s been lately??
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
I don’t think Bill wrote this speech.
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
The Clinton’s have upstaged the Dali Bama BIG TIME!!!!
DfDeportation on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Why, because for the Left it’s all about power at all costs.
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
He said Obama is ready to lead, be President… shouldn’t he give examples of why this is true?
El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 9:13 PM
“Gary Schroen, a former CIA station chief in Pakistan, says the [Clinton] White House required the CIA to attempt to capture bin Laden alive, rather than kill him.”

It’s a contest. The one who waves their flag the most gets a free bong.

I had no idea Chevy Chase was still alive.
bloggless on August 27, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Look at Bill’s eyes.
He’s just phoning it in. He could care less.
Vatican Watcher on August 27, 2008 at 9:14 PM
BJ got a crew cut? He’s starting to look like Archie Bunker.
petefrt on August 27, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Now for the long part-
Bill talks about himself.

Doesn’t matter if he says…The aliens have landed and I’m a popsicle. These people will scream for him.
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Fight against Aids, Tuberculosis, Global Warming, AIDS/HIV at home.. nothing about Russia and terrorism yet?
El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Well, this is jolly. Bill is behaving. But let’s see how much support Obama gets from here on out from the Clintons.
I’ll bet Hill/Bill will take a nice long vacation until, say, Christmas.
Cody1991 on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Hey Clintoon, Barack’s on tape saying he’s ready for unilateral disarmament.
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
You’ll notice that whenever Clinton says a whopper, they quickly cut away so we can’t see the infamous lip bite.
Weebork on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Michelle hates that man.
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Has Bill had a stroke? His speech sounds a little slurred lately. Or maybe he’s just a smidge tipsy.
aero on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Bill did you forget you let Osama go free….
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Michelle is still is angry!!!!! She always looks hafeful.
What a bunch of sh*t this speech is. It really is laughable.
So now, how does Clinton know so much about what Obama will do?
What a joke.
Winebabe on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Bill should be concerned about STD’s
Cody1991 on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Look at Bill’s eyes.
He’s just phoning it in. He could care less.

Dubn8tr on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM
How does Bill know what he’ll do? He’s never done anything.
RBMN on August 27, 2008 at 9:15 PM

ganeshpuri89 on August 27, 2008 at 9:16 PM

CFL on August 27, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Confront the bad guys?! Clinton was handed Osama 2X, passed it up both times
El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 9:16 PM

“America can not be collectivist abroad without first being collectivist at home.” Awww yeah!
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Commander-in-Chief Bill…..c’mon…
DfDeportation on August 27, 2008 at 9:17 PM
It’s as if the Clinton’s are telling them what their platform is…because obviously no one else has thought of anything except hope&change.
tehd on August 27, 2008 at 9:17 PM
example of our power??? I must have missed the rearmament of our military in the DNC platform..
elduende on August 27, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Spineless piece o’ crap. “People will be more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.” GTH BJ.
IrishEi on August 27, 2008 at 9:17 PM
No silly, sorting garbage/recycling!
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:17 PM
I think that’s because they have heard the same things from everyone who has spoken at this thing…besides Michelle….ugh
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:18 PM
