That's possibly the best spin ever. Don't agree with it, of course, but props given where props due.

It was a good long term investment. How else was she gonna qualify for this 300k a year cushy job at U of Chicago hospital?

No doubt. I'm looking forward to it like I look forward to cleaning the litter box after a week of a lactose-intolerant cat eating all my cracker barrel cheese (happened).

I made some sweet tea, too. I have to go put these clothes in the dryer, else they'll get wrinkly.

Gotta immediately flash to "South Park" with that Chris Hansen picture. And I'm pretty sure I've never actually seen Chris Hansen.

Also (and this is a first and probably last sentiment from me): what mcgraw said. Eww.

I think he's probably about the same age as she is, and trying to show he had a crush on her when they were the same age. Maybe?

shutup you'll roon it

Nothing quite like Howard Wolfson for talking about how important it was for Michelle Obama to prove she loves America. Why would America have that idea, Howard?

rove pooh poohs it

*my shocked face*

1) She did a good job of telling who she was.

2) Mediocre on saying she loved America.

3) Did not give good insights on who Obama is. Liberal litany or something or other.

All the coverage, all day, has been Clinton-centric. It's almost to the point where I understand the Clintons' truly staggering narcissism: probably anybody who got that kind of relentless attention would grow a Hindenburg-sized ego.

Wolfson's a particularly vicious little bastard, though. There are all these people in NY politics I suspect I'll be spending the next 30 years, or however long I have and/or that they're on the scene, working, donating and voting against. (Not that he's likely to run for anything, ever, but you get my meaning.)

i like how my job prohibits me from doing anything political and yet all these people running the country can spend 1.5 years just getting nominated by their parties

It was a personality/humanizing speech, not a policy address or especially a rally-the-troops stemwinder. And I don't think she mentioned McCain once. Basically her job was to present herself and her family, including her husband, as in the tradition of shared American values. I think she did that, particularly with the story about her father.

I'm just kind of bummed that her brother is no longer the hoops coach at Brown. (He moved on to some bigger school with a higher-profile program.)

I was just summarizing what Rove said after Pacino made his Rove poohpooed the speech comment.

I don't really think she had to do any more than she did tonight though. She made herself seem like a real actual person when she talked about her dad's illness, and I liked the video before the speech. She talked about how much she loved the country. I dunno. I don't really care about her insights into Barack. I can't imagine anything she could have said that would have been all that interesting or important regarding the election.
