I left the convention a little while ago in order to attend another function. However, Hot Air readers can stay connected to the convention through Ustream, right here at your convenience! My partner for TEMS has a live feed that I’ve embedded here. If you can’t get C-SPAN and don’t want to endure the talking heads, just experience it for yourself here:

I may have more to report later tonight — depending on who I meet …
Update: I’ll add a chat room from my channel. Feel free to use this all evening.

Sen. Coleman looks thinner than usual.
I’m watching C-SPAN. I got choked up at the National Anthem.

You all should start paying attention to Drudge. Now that Obama is the nominee, he’s really tilting his coverage anti-Obama. It’s interesting.
Today’s Obama top picture shows him without a brain saying that he’s more experienced than her. It’s the perfect framing of the issue for….republicans.

“What does the American Flag mean to you?” Commercial: Juxtapose this kid’s essay with footage of Ayers stomping on the flag.

I just saw that, it was terrific.
RushBaby on September 2, 2008 at 8:19 PM
Is this Live?
canopfor on September 2, 2008 at 8:20 PM
Yes – I was watching the Fox feed in another window. This is much cooler.
RushBaby on September 2, 2008 at 8:21 PM
Nice little smack on Mayor Nagan,hehe!
canopfor on September 2, 2008 at 8:22 PM
Yeah, focus on the black Republicans!

Good evening to you too! {hug}
Hey have you seen this?Adorable pictures of Sarah as a toddler?1? then as a little girl. So cute!
RushBaby on September 2, 2008 at 8:28 PM
awesome… I just posted on my site about no coverage here in Missouri besides PBS… this is perfect.
Kaptain Amerika on September 2, 2008 at 8:42 PM
THis is really good.
SouthernGent on September 2, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Thanks so much for this, Ed.
But drats! I guess it was the wrong day to start my Hot Air boycott.
Loxodonta on September 2, 2008 at 8:52 PM
guffaw
RushBaby on September 2, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Thank you Ed, I made the choice a few years ago
either cable TV or the internet. Since I live
in an area where there is no other TV reception
than cable……THANK YOU THANK YOU.

On O’Reilly just now, Newt said that if Palin survives the MSM attack for the next week or so, she’ll emerge as the greatest threat to the left since Clarence Thomas. And, he added, the left knows it.
I agree with that 100%.
petefrt on September 2, 2008 at 8:59 PM
I just emailed O’Reilly after he announced he will be interviewing Obama on Thursday night (Thursday night!). O’Reilly is playing into Obama’s hands by televising him the same night as McCain’s acceptance speech.
McCain stayed classy and DIDN’T TRY TO STEAL OBAMA’S THUNDER during his own acceptance speech. O’Reilly looks like a shill here.
dugan on September 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I suspect the Obama interview will be before McCain’s speech so it will not steal any of his thunder.
But it is an obvious disgusting move by Obama. He probably told BOR, its Thursday or never.
Elizabetty on September 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
I’m beside myself with anger over O’Reilly. Smiling like a smug b*stard because the big celebrity is coming to be interviewed by him after months of begging, on a night that belongs to McCain.
Marcus on September 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Capt. Leslie Smith is speaking now. Hottie.
ManlyRash on September 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Served in Bosnia. Medical discharge because of a blood disorder. Diagnosed terminal. Asked if she wanted to be buried at Arlington or buried home she chose neither and decided to live.
ManlyRash on September 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Holy shit. Lost her left leg below the knee and sight in left eye.
ManlyRash on September 2, 2008 at 9:32 PM
She said: Most liberating day in my life came when I stopped saying ‘why me?’ and started saying ‘why not me?’
Pure class act.
ManlyRash on September 2, 2008 at 9:33 PM
She woke up from the amputation and said to her mother “I used to be a cheerleader.”
Her mother said “Now you can be the coach.”
Pure class.
ManlyRash on September 2, 2008 at 9:35 PM
I agree; if O’Reilly airs it on Thursday, it will precede McCain’s speech. But even that mutes McCain’s message. O’Reilly plays right into Obama’s hands if he airs it the same night.
dugan on September 2, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Have you seen this.
Rush Baby on Sept 2,2008 at 8:28PM.
Rush Baby: Adorable,is an understatement,I bet she did late
night dew worm picking as well!
I saved the link,I bet PETA is freakin,seeing a
young Sarah,with blood drops on her pants,I’m
not sure,i think the birds are partrige,but
white?
Oh,and hugs back at ya!!haha:):)
canopfor on September 2, 2008 at 9:40 PM
So did I. I know O’Reilly’s show comes on before McCain is set to speak, but it’s McCain’s night, and O’Reilly need not help Obama upstage it.
While I basically agree, I would expect as much from the Dems, but wouldn’t expect O’Reilly to be a part of it. Disappointing.
petefrt on September 2, 2008 at 9:40 PM
This convention is holy water to libereal vampires
ManlyRash on September 2, 2008 at 9:42 PM
After watching the DNC convention and now watching the RNC convention, I’ve just gotta say it…. Republican women ARE better looking. I know that’s not polite… I’m just sayin’…
Star20 on September 2, 2008 at 9:51 PM
True dat, Star. Hotties, all. I’m so happy to be Republican.
ManlyRash on September 2, 2008 at 9:57 PM
“W” made a good comment, saying McCain can be stubborn and speaks his mind. Bush pointed at himself and said something like, “I know!” He helped in shooting down the McCain/Bush “Third Term” BS.
Star20 on September 2, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Fred Thompson is hitting it out of the park!!
Star20 on September 2, 2008 at 10:24 PM
I’m forced to watch this on PBS. I’m glad they aren’t biased or anything.
:mute:
reaganaut on September 2, 2008 at 10:37 PM
I had to turn to MSNBC to see what KO and Matthews were saying. Olby said Thompson’s speech was “militaristic.” What a tool.
Star20 on September 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
That was excellent.
Bob's Kid on September 2, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Mega Awesome convention coverage
sonnyspats1 on September 2, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Olby is beyond definition Star really
sonnyspats1 on September 2, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Well, that makes 3 emails to O’Reilly. I just sent one too.
Bill let his ego get in the way and got played by Obama. He was so eager to get the interview he let Obama come on during the RNC. O’Reilly, what an egotistical bore. And considering how he keeps ignoring the whole Annenberg dust-up(I and many others have emailed a ton of stuff to him and so far pretty much crickets), he probably will be kissing Obama’s butt.
The only good thing is it’s on during the NFL season opener. LOL
Deanna on September 2, 2008 at 11:25 PM
You guys have your priorities WAYYYY out of whack. Don’t you know O’Reilly has the number one show? Don’t you know that NOBODY in politics can succeed without going through him first? I know that’s true. I heard Bill SAY it, about a billion times!
Star20 on September 2, 2008 at 11:32 PM
Has anyone calculated what percent of the time Barack Obama has voted with Harry Reid?? Also, what percent of the time he has voted, period?
