Cool Stuff
One of the really cool things about being a delegate is that you get free stuff, literally stuffed. I got a tote bag with a cute stuffed donkey in it.
Today was Carolina Fest Day and me and ole Bubba met Fenway Fran in downtown Charlotte for an obscene display of fried food and everything you can imagine with OBAMA written on it for seven city blocks. Ole Bubba got interviewed by Fox News and told them that there were more minorities in one block of Charlotte today than there was at the entire GOP convention. If you hear that hell froze over, flip on Fox News and see Bubba.
About a block down the street, MSNBC had a whole set up instead of just interviewing people on the street.
I will be attending my second party in a few minutes. National conventions are busy places and, Honey, my tired is starting to hurt.
“Ole Bubba got interviewed by Fox News and told them that there were more minorities in one block of Charlotte today than there was at the entire GOP convention.”
You mean Chuck Todd was wrong about how democrats should be jealous of the GOP with all of their minority speakers? Even though the amount African Americans and Hispanics at the RNC could fit in a damned tea cup and still have room for Paul Ryan and his big butt bag of lies?
Whodda thunk it?
1Have fun for all of us. Wish we were there too! (I imagine it’s safe to speak for all your fans.)
2I just watched Chris Matthews Hardball program. Made me smile to see all those Rowdy Democrats Playing in the Rain, while Chris talked about how he always knew that Democrats were more fun.
Funny line: “The Republican Convention was like a bowling ball landing in a sandbox.” My sentiments exactly…. Republicans probably handed out prunes in their Welcome To Tampa Package…. not because their delegates were old, but rather have a serious case of mental constipation.
H-H-Hahahahaha
3Bubba is right. It appears the Republicans asked every minority attending their convention to speak. If the Democrats did that their convention would have to be months long.
4To Mz Patti — I, too, watched Chris Matthews today and had to go to tell my own “Bubba” to watch with me — those Democrats know how to have fun. I was pleased that someone quoted Jackie Kennedy as saying, “Democrats have more fun.” “A bowling ball landing in a sandbox” — I think the republicans are so filled with hate for everyone else and so concerned with crippling the middle class even further that their convention only responded to vitriol and hate speech. The Democrats will do better!
And, June, Bubba IS right, and so are you. All you had to do was look around the crowd — plenty of diversity there, as in the Democratic party.
Four more years!!!
5Keep plugging along, you are MY eyes and ears on the convention floor.
6Get you a wheelchair to ride around in. Your feet gotta keep going for a long time. Have fun!
7This is just too cool for school. Sure hope Faux Noise puts Bubba on….
Just got back with my hubby from the VA in Nashville. Nashville is blue, btw, and they never have Faux Noise on the VA teevees here, they have generic CNN. However, today, it was MSNBC all the time. When I mentioned that to the doc, who is a well-known liberal, he told me they had banded together and determined that MSNBC was a “much better fit” for their patients than CNN which has some problems with getting accurate information out for the Vets – YIPEE – ain’t real America great, even in Tennessee, where a USMC Colonel Doc from Canada (and detests the HC industry here) gets to really SUPPORT THE TROOPS, because he is one – FOR AMERICA and Tennessee. The VA here is connected to Vanderbilt Medical Center, another known liberal bastion of healthcare~
8Go Bubba!
Hey, JJ, if you can get a pic with Rachel Maddow, I’ll buy a copy for $50 that you can put towards the Ft Bend Silver Dems. Deal?
9@Eykis … I love your comment … I can almost hear you cheering all the way to Colorado! LOL Such exuberance is heartwarming!!
10BTW- how’s your hotel? John Fund and Tucker Carlson are complaining about being assigned to ‘free enterprise’ hotels, if you know what I mean. Evidently, they don’t like Jane Galt in the room next door.
