Because of course: Dems boo prayer at mention of Hillary; Update: Bernie tries to kill anti-Hillary protest tonight

And not just the prayer, either, but let’s start there. Hey, Democrats booed God four years ago, so they’re at least improving their aim a little:

“Hallelujah”? Dr. Cynthia Hale might have done better to ask for mercy from the Lord, because she certainly received very little from the assembled delegates. What a disaster.

And it continued, too. Democrats finally convinced Debbie Wasserman Schultz to take a powder rather than create an excuse for a floor demonstration at their national convention, but the replacement chair of the convention — Marcia Fudge — fared no better. NBC News caught the cascade of boos that rained down as Fudge gaveled the convention to order:

Ah, the best laid plans of mice and men, eh? By the way, Fudge wants everyone to know that she had been selected to gavel the convention all along:

U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge said Monday that she was picked as permanent chair of the Democratic National Convention weeks before Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned.

“I was asked weeks ago. I just kept it quiet,” the Warrensville Heights Democrat told reporters at an Ohio Democratic National Convention delegation breakfast.

Wasserman Schultz was initially slated to preside over the convention as DNC chair, according to media reports. However, Wasserman Schultz announced Sunday that she will resign as chair when the convention ends, as a result of leaked emails that appear to show top DNC aides strategizing against U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary.

As permanent chair, Fudge will gavel each day of the convention to order and to close, as well as maintain order as Democrats vote to nominate former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia for vice president.

Er … suuuuuuure you were. Anyway, Fudge wasn’t too happy about her reception.


“We are going to have a different kind of convention than the one we saw in Cleveland last week,” Fudge promised. And hey, Democrats are already delivering that! It’s an even bigger cluster-you-know-what than anything we saw last week, including the Ted Cruz speech. At least Republicans weren’t booing the nominee.

Update (AP): I need to run to the store and grab some popcorn and beer right now.

How frightened are Democrats of this looming fiasco? Team Bernie sent a text to the leaders of his delegates on the floor afternoon begging them not to make a scene tonight when Hillary’s name is mentioned: “I ask you as a personal courtesy to me to not engage in any kind of protest on the floor… Its of utmost importance you explain this to your delegations.” We’ll see how they play it. Right now I’m burning with jealousy that these people refused to sit quietly today for their lousy, unacceptable nominee.
