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.

…and the computerized robots are underpaid too. They need to be unionized.

oh oh bring on the children… same old BS
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:18 PM
“Worst economy since Harry Truman,” Bill? Will you be able to fit that nose of yours through the door on the way out?
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Well, you know, this speech really doesn’t matter. He’s preaching to the choir – what’s more important is if he sways anyone. That will be decided later in the run for President. By next Monday, this speech will be forgotten. As Sean Hannity says, “Let not your heart be troubled.”

family values from Bill ROTFLMAO

FACTCHECK IS GOING TO BE WORKING OVERTIME
mad saint jack on August 27, 2008 at 9:18 PM
This is about as good of an endorsement as Obama could hope for. You never know with Bill though, could still have a surprise in store at the end!
Typhonsentra on August 27, 2008 at 9:18 PM
KATRINA!!!!!!!
*drink*
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 9:19 PM
It’s all about the poer man. Forget about what is best for the country.
LOOK…..LOOK! Ha, Ha!!!
Excuse me but has not unemployment been the lowest it has been in years under President Bush?
What a liar?
How here we go…..let’s now bring up Katrina? Idiot.
Winebabe on August 27, 2008 at 9:19 PM
AND I DID BETTER THAN HILLARY MORE THAN ONCE!!
CFL on August 27, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Miltary… Bill you hate the miltary and cut it when you were in the ORAL office

Chelsea is a class act.
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Katrina- red meat!
Valiant on August 27, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Hahahahaha….. Bill! It just kills me when you talk about family values…lololololololol
Cody1991 on August 27, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Ugh. Why does Michelle Obama wear such ugly dresses? Tonight’s dress has some kind of old-lady-at-a-wedding flower/rhinestone stuff around the neckline.

Seig heil! Seig Heil! Seig Heil!
elduende on August 27, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Yeah, that’s why 9/11 happened. And then when we “lit up their world like the 4th of July” we haven’t been hit since.
mikeyboss on August 27, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Here come the back handed comments on McCain
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:20 PM
What are you up to here, Bill?
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:20 PM
McCain loves his country every bit as much as the Dems do?
I’ll have to start questioning his patriotism then.
Valiant on August 27, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Not cool, pal. Shut it down.
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Daschle is being touted as chief of staff in an Obama presidency, according to the Rahm Emanuel article above.
Emanuel is a force to be reckoned with. He was instrumental in the Dem sweep of Congress in ‘06.

DEbt…you dummy we’re at WAR!!!
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Too many ignorant Americans….too little time.

What’s so extreme about expecting people to work, achieve and succeed?
Cody1991 on August 27, 2008 at 9:21 PM
BRING BACK THE MOLE CHICK!!!
CFL on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Yeah, all you homeless and starving vote for Obama. The rest for McCain. I’m fine with that.
RBMN on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
So Mccain wants to reduce your taxes…. hummmm you the Dems want to RAISE THE TAXES
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
How about the war?
ndulik on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
OK. Fair enough. Would an Obama administration sell our Sunni allies in the Awakening movement down the river to the thugs in the Maliki regime in order to “bring the troops home and end the war”? I’m afraid so.
ganeshpuri89 on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Here we go with the collectivist/socialist stuff.
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
so sleepy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
What was Clinton’s topic tonight? All he is talking about is himself and his administration. What a buffoon. HA!
Winebabe on August 27, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Gotta hand it to Bill, he’s laying it on nice ‘n thick.
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
Unbelievable; Bubba just bashed Reagan with his comment on the Republican Party of the last 25 years. Putz.
dugan on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
OH OH it’s time for Bill to cry…..
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
Was that a tear I saw?

No way. No how. Nobama.

You were morally inexperienced, and you still are.

THERES GOING TO BE A REPLY ON NRANEWS.COM
mad saint jack on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
He WAS too young and too inexperienced.
progressoverpeace on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
Wasn’t he slated to address foreign policy? Har.
petefrt on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
He was too young and inexperienced to be CIC.
Valiant on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
You said it mikeyboss! And for nearly 7 years now. But it still seems like just yesterday.
It’s still 9/10/01 at the Pepsi Center.
IrishEi on August 27, 2008 at 9:23 PM
Is he doing this so he can say that HE is responsible for Obamas victory if O wins?
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:24 PM
He was too horny, for sure
Cody1991 on August 27, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Barack Obama is not on the right side of anything!
IrishEi on August 27, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Think this will teach R I N O ’s the value of appeasment???
No way.
allrsn on August 27, 2008 at 9:24 PM
And all this time, I thought it was Monica that was too young, and too inexperienced.
CyberCipher on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Turns out you were too inexperienced to be Commander in Chief, Bubba. You didn’t do anything but play while you were in office.
Hey. How about you and Hillary return the china, silverware, and “w” keys.
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
LOL……
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
LOL< fabulous wife Jill….Watch out Joe!
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
bummer.. no live chat going on..
that was fun..
DaveC on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
I’m about to lose my dinner… yuck.. this is so over the top.. same old bill… BS
theeyeman3410 on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
More like he wouldn’t want to be blamed if he lost.
Typhonsentra on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
‘His fabulous wife, Jill’..
‘ I’ve tried to hit that’
DaveC on August 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM
I don’t want hope. I want success.
pappy on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
I have to say, Clinton gave the best speech so far, by a mile.
progressoverpeace on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
This is actually kind of sad to watch. At one time, BJ was a worthy opponent. More recently, he was at least divisive and entertaining. Now here he is kissing Obama’s behind and toeing the party line. The end of an era?
aero on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
A Place Called Hope? Oh how funny.
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Blah Blah Obama Blah Hope Blah Change Blah
elduende on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Boy, Clinton is still adept at stringing lots of lies together.
Right_of_Attila on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
It’s a big day for the delegates. They got their first flag…first American flag.
RBMN on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Where’s Phil Hartman when you need him? Don’t answer that.
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
He done.
My collie says:
CyberCipher on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Not a bad speech, I think he’s more charismatic than Obama.. he throws numbers out at you when giving speeches, Obama just talks about parting waters.
El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Is Biden next?? bring out the air bags.
allrsn on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Was that William Ayers in the red baseball cap?……..LOL
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Everytime Kerry mentions that he served in Vietnam everyone take a shot of whiskey
Lance Murdock on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Lurch is next. I’m outta there.
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Remember, BJ’s a uniter, not a divider. And he feels your pain.
Maybe it’s just my wingnut ears, but the BJ speech didn’t meet expectations.
petefrt on August 27, 2008 at 9:27 PM
This is how Kerry repays McCain for defending him against the SBVTs and even considering being his runningmate. I hope McCain has learned some important lessons over the last few months.
TheBigOldDog on August 27, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Well, it was fun while it lasted, but tonite the Democrat Party finally went back to loving the Clintons and calling all their enemies racists and Nazis. They are perfect again.
Speedwagon82 on August 27, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Hehehehehehehehe……
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Nothing new here with Bill, just selling the country out, being irresponsible.
Cody1991 on August 27, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Ahh yes lurch, I like the wiskey idea!
allrsn on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Kerry’s coming on??????
Ack!!!!!
bridgetown on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Kerry? Really? OMG!
SouthernGent on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
I’m John Kerry and I’m reporting for Booty!
TheBigOldDog on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
“Barack Obama is on the right sidea’ history!”
Well hells bells. Now just what in tarnation is that s’posta’ mean Bubba?
Dude makes no sense.
cgoode777 on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Whew, he’s finally stopped talking. Did anyone think he would speak for only 10 minutes. Thought they’d need a hook to get him off stage.
poodlemom on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Thats why we need the wiskey!!!
allrsn on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Bill was such a good soldier.
Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 9:28 PM
She knows that Baraq can’t win. Yup laying the groundwork for 2012. Bill’s speech will be interesting.

marcboyd on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I’m sure everyone will be wasted within 20 minutes
Lance Murdock on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I must have missed the part about how Obamamra will continue to fight the war on terrorism…………….
…………or is the BIG ‘O’ going to fight it like Slick did?
Old Hippie Vet on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Bill Clinton’s slick, but if you’re in his way politically he’d break your legs as soon as look at you. I guess Obama ran to fast for Bill to catch him.
RBMN on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I think the speech was good. His purposes was to make the last 8 years look bad, and say that Repubs shouldn’t be hired again.. he did that, but it was more of an ‘elect me’ speech, didn’t say too much of Obama
El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Sen. Clyburn is totally dissing Clinton’s speech on PBS right now.
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Kerry’s going to be overexited. He’s going to try and outdo Clinton. It’s going to be painful to watch.
progressoverpeace on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Ah, a *Northern* Virginian – Colorado Native. Warner voter. Meh.
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Scary Kerry is next?
My collie says:
CyberCipher on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Er … I meant ‘overexcited’ – It’s a shame he won’t be overexited.
progressoverpeace on August 27, 2008 at 9:29 PM
His strings got him impeached.
RushBaby on August 27, 2008 at 9:30 PM
that was quick so now its up to bambi’s little Nurembergesque rally tmmw….
