I'm thankful for you DUer's with strong stomachs because I can't stand to watch that convention
or the coverage. I get my news from you hearty folks. Here's a salute to you and the work you are doing for those of us with weak stomachs.

3. Absolutely REPULSIVE! EVERY senator talking in script - it is TRULY revolting!
(But I can't wait to hear the Dems on Larry King Live)

5. Waiting for the Shield to start on FX
Probably just in time to escape Bush etal.

Even MSNBC seems to be trying to put lipstick on this pig of a convention.

6. I was able to watch it for 2 minutes and then had to shut it off
Some commentator on MSNBC was quoting the repukes that they think the Dems and their liberal media friends are in a panic over the choice of Palin.

14. ditto
it's so boring and I usually go berserk when they are spewing their crap but it is flat out boring, dull and weak. I'm amazed there is no energy at all in that arena

13. I just found it really dull
Everyone was spewing talking points..
no genuine heartfelt passion or new ideas to speak of.
It's like a really bad infomercial.
