That's the Bill I remember

Is it just me, or was that Bill being bigger than he was on the campaign trail? I liked Hillary's speech last night, but I think Bill hit it out of the park. Discuss.

Item: Anybody catch Spike Lee being interviewed on the convention floor? He was with the Indiana delegation, I think. I also think he was soused.

Item: The media sharks are thirsty for blood and wish Warner had lit into McCain. Speaking as a jet, my view is that Warner's speech reminded me of the best parts of Clintonism.

Item: Lenny Kravitz, Tom Petty, John Tesh. Quite the star studded soundtrack for the Hillary Clinton tribute video, but now that she's on stage I can't identify her theme song. It's no equal to the old standby.

Item: Pluck! Pluck! Sarcasm is really the only way to break through when a politician is that good at hitting the heart strings.

Item: What law says Joe Biden can't wear a nice hat? "Obama, Biden, and a hat!" There's a slogan you can win with.

A note on style

If you must wear purple, do not wear a cape.

Addendum: I've finally figured out who that was. Norah O'Donnell. I see that she's replaced fellow empty suit David Gregory as MSNBC's Chief White House Correspondent. This leads to obvious questions. Could Gregory pull off a cape? Would he even try?

How good was Michelle Obama?

Doesn't matter. How good were the kids? Juan Williams and Brit Hume are both tearing up on Fox News.

Kennedy

BOOM!

I'm telling you, by the time they get done running the ads cut from that speech nobody born before 1952 is voting for anybody but Obama.

oh yeah: speaking of the dnc, check out the OG.
