The one line that was edited from Kucinich's DNC speech...

It looks like the Obama campaign is wielding a sharp editing pen over the speeches Dems are giving at the convention.

Dennis Kucinich, for one, found one of his more barbed raw-meat partisan quips consigned to the cutting room floor:

The Obama campaign struck just one line from his speech, which slammed the Republicans and the Bush administration, according to a Democratic source.

That line, addressing Republicans, read: "They're asking for another four years -- in a just world, they'd get 10 to 20."

To be fair, calling for McCain, Bush and Cheney to be thrown in the slammer isn't exactly in sync with Obama's message of new politics and bipartisan reconciliation.

5. A shame that the line was edited out. I hope the news becomes the

edited line. Anyone sent it to Keith? You can bet anything you want that the PUGs will not be editing out the mean or the lies.
