The talking heads kept saying that Bill Clinton had been allotted 10 minutes for his speech. Surely, they didn't believe that. Clinton couldn't say howdy in only ten minutes, let alone cover all the points he was supposed to cover. Surprisingly, he did manage to hold it down to about 30 minutes.
I thought his speech was a good one. He endorsed Barack Obama. Whether he really meant it is another thing. What do I think? I'm so glad you asked. I don't for a minute think he was sincere. I think he's still licking his wounds, and will be for a long time. After all, he is taking it all very personally. We'll see how much campaigning he'll actually do.

Who was that distinguished looking gentleman who was pretenting to be John Kerry? And, if it was really John Kerry, where the hell was he back in 2004?

I like Joe Biden more every time I see him. And, I liked his speech, even though the pundits are asking why he didn't attack John McCain more vehemently. Honestly, haven't they been watching? Don't they realize that this convention is all about unity, civility, and raising the level of political discussion?
They can get down and dirty with their ads and speeches after the convention is over, if they have to.
Then again, we haven't heard Al Gore's speech yet. That's tomorrow night, and if there's anybody who is capable of slamming the Republicans and enjoying it, it would be Gore. And, he can do it with a smile on his face and loving every minute.
I'm looking forward to Obama's speech, too.

One more night. Am I going to watch the Republican Convention next week, you ask? Oh, I don't know. I'm expecting a headache.
Stay tuned.
