I'm kind of enjoying watching the Democratic Convention right now, even if I'm a little huffy that somehow, I wasn't one of the thirty or so bloggers invited to cover the thing. Or, like Wonkette, who I do love and whose job I want, given a gig to go hang out with Gideon and Sway on MTV and get to do the whole Voice of the Generation thing. I like watching it because it's like watching the pre-game game show for a playoff game and they're in the part of the program where all the analysts and commentators are sitting around talking how great your favorite team is and how much butt they could possibly kick. Plus, it's so nice to actually watch-for large uninterrupted portions- people making sense. Like people going up there and making reference to how the 2000 election was stolen and there not coming a lot of harumphing and "what, George Bush didn't really win the election?" from the usual sources. It was fricking stolen.

Sadly, I'm also noticing that somehow, Teresa Heinz Kerry's little "shove off" comment is gaining some sort of traction, especially on Fox News which is all over it like Ricky Williams on Thai stick . One has to wonder why it's gaining such traction considering the President's Underling (or is the President really the Vice Presidents Underling?) just told another Senator what he could go do with himself. Is it just another case of the Liberal Media striking again or only because Teresa had the misfortune of saying what she did while being videotaped? And if it does become a major story, could the political press be more lame?

As happy as I am with the way things are going and content with the nomination of ole horse-head himself (is it me or is the best approximation of John Kerry's face the guy screaming in the Edward Much painting, "The Scream?"), I still can't wish somebody will bitch-slap some sense in him when he can't even answer a sports question without hemming and hawing and not answering the damn question. One does have a feeling that it must take John Kerry about ten minutes to order a sandwich.
