1. Harpo, Who Dis Woman?

[cali]

4. wtf?

[BumRushDaShow]

5. !!!!!!

[my2sense]

24. bwahahahahahah

Hadn't heard that in a while!

[spanone]

2. thanks, getting crowded in there

[nc4bo]

6. Wondering if any natives know who Jane Edmonds is?

Former Mass. Workforce Secretary but what else should we know?

[spanone]

21. found this...

http://www.northeastern.edu/news/2011/10/edmonds/

[nc4bo]

33. Gee whiz. I'd never had her pegged as one of them.....

perhaps as a moderate but not with this batch of nuts.

[cali]

3. it's a threefer: woman, black, self-professed "liberal democrat"

[nolabear]

9. And I hate to say it but she's adorable. Come over to the Light, Jane!

[C_U_L8R]

10. And she remembered her hand cues

Arms in the air giggle giggle

[nc4bo]

12. My goodness wth. nt

[EarlG]

7. Is this a speech about Romney or Jesus?

[jsmirman]

8. That Healy was a piece of work

1) repeated the credit downgrade lie

2) Mitt actually shows real family values? Gay bashing dogwhistle? Otherwise, utter nasty horseshit.

3) Yeah, he took no salary. Didn't pay any taxes either.

4) If Mitt was so great in MA, why did everyone hate him by halfway through his tenure, and then really hate him by the time he left?

[Webster Green]

11. I have no TV, so I decided to stream CSpan. This is really hard to watch.

Not sure I can take much more.

[Terra Alta]

13. if this woman is a "liberal Democrat"

then I'm the fucking Pope. No true liberal would be touting Rmoney like that.

[rbrnmw]

15. Or she high and drunk

[cali]

16. so glad I don't have to address you as "Your Holiness".

[nolabear]

14. Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. And I liked him.

'Course that career went nowhere.

[MrsBrady]

17. i decided to tune in...caught rachel maddow on msnbc...

and the minute they went to the current speaker...I think I lasted
about a minute and a half.

can't even watch/listen

I think I'll turn on some music

[Terra Alta]

18. Taylor Hicks

Nothing but a washed-up American Idol "winner".

[RedStateLiberal]

30. Who better for a show that's tailored for hicks.

[jsmirman]

19. Mitt loves women? So why won't he stand up for them?

Why does his platform target women's rights?

Why doesn't he stand up to his party when they refuse to act on jobs and are tripping all over themselves to target women's rights?

As to this woman speaking, he wasn't in it for himself? Mitt, the eternal candidate? The same guy who the Rolling Stone article reveals to be obsessed with protecting his own record - at any cost - to support his future candidacy?

Bullshit.

[nc4bo]

22. Mitt, the epic fail. nt

[kestrel91316]

132. He loves women as long as they are barefoot, pregnant, ans submissive in the

proper Mormon style.

[golfguru]

140. If I pay for women's

birth control pills, will I then be considered pro-women? But will women pay for my condoms?

[nolabear]

20. Wonder why Clint's not on the schedule. Not enough time to fix?

Or maybe he's an unofficial Olympic Athlete. Sharp Shooting, Bad Talking Division.

[jsmirman]

23. Who's a worse dancer? Taylor Hicks or that entire crowd?

sad

[highplainsdem]

35. Many years ago Dave Barry wrote a column about Republicans being music and rhthmn challenged.

Don't know if I still have that book around here, but if I can find it later, I'll post it.

[highplainsdem]

40. Found it. Most of the column was about his band, but it mentioned GOP convention delegates:

http://davebarry.com/misccol/tupperwaresong.htm

The other two instruments in the band are actually Tupperware products, played rhythmically by Tom and Lou, who also dance. How good are they? Let me put it this way: If you can watch them perform and not wet your pants, then you are legally blind. For one thing, they both are afflicted with severe rhythm impairment, the worst cases I have ever seen, worse even than Republican convention delegates.

[jsmirman]

131. It makes you want to poke your eyes out

and bless the Lord for the rhythm he bless you with.

My life would be less if I danced like that.

[highplainsdem]

25. So absurd to hear "Takin' It To The Streets" at the RNC.

[jsmirman]

26. Oh, you know that Claressa is appearing at our convention then

and she is going to whip some more ass.

[nolabear]

27. Of course...an Olympic Shooting Champ.

VEEERY clever of you, Master Builders. Women, guns, athletes...very clever indeed...

[Ellipsis]

28. Watching this is like going to a tupperware party on bad acid.

[rbrnmw]

29. Doobie Brothers? Takin it to the streets

MM is definitely Democrat

The following year, in 2008, McDonald performed "America the Beautiful" at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McDonald_(singer)#Doobie_Brothers

[cali]

31. trotting out a bunch of (mostly) obscure Olympic athletes

[jsmirman]

34. Not so much

Dan Janssen, Scott Hamilton, and Mike Eruzione are part of some pretty seminal Olympic stuff.

And Jimmy Shea was a big story at that Olympics.

With that said, fuck them all.

[cali]

38. 4 out of 12? as I said, mostly obscure.

[kestrel91316]

134. Scott Hamilton???? Another self-loathing gay. How sad.

[jsmirman]

138. But a great champion, nonetheless

even a pretty good commentator.

I guess the rest of his life - meh.

[kestrel91316]

141. He's dead to me now.

[Hayabusa]

32. Damn, Rachel is going to town

with the history. Awesome video clips.

[nc4bo]

36. Think I'll cruise over to MSNBC and chill for a bit.

Right on time cause now they're USA!1 it.

[cali]

37. OK. I'm out. My stomach feels curdled. I'm getting a headache

and my disgust is overflowing.

[nc4bo]

39. Bet Mitt had to do some cleaning up after all that exciting worship!

You know how much he LOVES talking about himself and having others heap tons of praise on top of that.

[progressivebydesign]

41. I'm not watching, but y'all are describing something akin to a freak show.

to someone without the visual, I'm picturing a 3 ring circus with these weird crying people wandering around the stage, weeping and giggling, and insisting WAY TOO HARD that Romney is a fucking human being. It's creepy even without watching it. This is what they spent millions of dollars crafting.. trying to make Romney seem almost human.

[nc4bo]

43. I know. Here they are at the convention STILL trying to define Mitt Romney's humanity

Really?!

Sounds whackadoo.

[Terra Alta]

42. 9/11! 9/11! 9/11!

None of these morons who bring up 9/11, will actually say who was President at the time...

[sfpcjock]

[jsmirman]

45. As a New Yorker, no disrepect to Parra and what he is talking about

but FUCK a party that indulges in voter suppression and intimidation.

It was my city that suffered, and how dare anyone wave our tattered flag for a party that supports that bullshit.

I guarantee that an overwhelming percentage of people from New York City find voter suppression and voter intimidation to be disgustingly un-American.

[nolabear]

46. NO!! BEBE!! NOOOOO!!!! Another singer lost.

He is out of his everlovin' mind. Good old kiss a baby wave a flag song though.

[nolabear]

47. Olympics video now. Is this the strangest RNC ever or what??

[Grown2Hate]

48. Just heard Journey is going to perform?

They MUST play "Anyway You Want It". NOTHING could sum up Mitt's political career better.

[hatrack]

58. "Hey Wang! It's only a parking lot!!"

[Bobbie Jo]

[nc4bo]

51. Mitt Romney is a human being with real feelings. He's real dang it!! nt

[spanone]

Or tripping the daughter in law.

[ecstatic]

52. I DON'T CARE about your romance, Mitt

Or your family videos. WTF? Does anyone feel moved by this???

[nolabear]

53. Yes, they're lovebirds. It's nice, really. Family guy. Just not YOUR family.

[nc4bo]

59. I do believe he and Annie would watch my family die for lack of medical care.

While he stuffs his Swiss Bank Account with the money he saved.

[EarlG]

55. OMG

Mitt Romney doesn't know how to change a lightbulb.

[jsmirman]

56. And this one time, we put the dog on the roof

he loved it!

Asshole.

[ecstatic]

57. Oh. He's a son of immigrants/refugees now

[kestrel91316]

136. His ancestors only came to the US because they were promised LOTS OF WIVES.

[ecstatic]

60. omg. same creepy laugh as a kid.

Wow.

[uponit7771]

61. ...and steal old peoples pensions

[jsmirman]

62. And now you come along, and won't defend

any of your positions and can't answer questions in an honest interview.

Really honoring your father.

[uponit7771]

64. "YOU PEOPLE" need to shut the fuck up talking about my husband! Ann Romney

[EarlG]

65. So far two people in this video have called Romney cheap.

[nolabear]

66. Aren't they saying the same thing over and over and over?

I guess when there's no plan for the future all you can do is run over the past again and again.

[uponit7771]

71. Yeap, he loved his wife and hate poor people

[nc4bo]

78. and animals. nt

[EarlG]

68. Okay, I get it, Mitt Romney is the greatest human being who ever walked on the face of the planet.

[nc4bo]

74. And we people must never forget it. nt

[nc4bo]

129. Y are W :) nt

[Hayabusa]

127. "That's the weirdest thing that I've seen in a political convention in my life"

and that it will forever be the weirdest.

Same here, Rachel. Same here.

Cheap pop for free Cuba!

[jsmirman]

128. That was really hard to watch

I don't want to rip Clint. It's not necessary. That needed no response.

But damn. That guy has been a major part of some of my favorite movies.

And that scene up there... rough.

We're all going to get that old some day. Damn. Rough.

[nc4bo]

133. New fresh thread open....
