OCD Quote of the Day 8/28

I was watching Democratic National Convention coverage last night on MSNBC. First, has anybody noticed that Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann cut each other off constantly? Ridiculous. Second, I think Bill Clinton could be elected again if he were allowed to run. His speech was pretty impressive. Third, less united/unity talk. Get a new slogan.... and don't say "change". That's pretty much like the drink-drank-drunk rule in Asshole.


The real reason for this post was the incredible live interviews by Chris Matthews. Apparently, NBC thought it would be awesome to get some real people on camera. The first guy was a McCain supporter with a mustache and sideburns who looked he was from 1980. My favorite person was last though. I don't know if this woman was nervous or just stupid, but she had some trouble explaining herself. I like the way she doesn't even say the word "President" or "White House" or "nomination".


Chris Matthews: Ok, madam
Dumb American: Yes
Chris Matthews: Well, that's all I do is ask. I don't have a question. Your feelings, your thoughts about tonight? I didn't think it was unexpectedly harmonious. You're right -- I'm part of the media that thought it would be a bigger fight. But I also don't know what's going on below the surface. When people like Governor Rendell continue to do what they do... I'm not sure what's going on.
Dumb American: Here's the thing, Chris: we've got new blood coming in here... black... Obama. OK? We have his wife. The first black female, as um... first, the First Lady of this country. That is incredible. We have Hillary Clinton. The first woman that has been and gotten this far and has been so gracious in this week and in her speech yesterday passing it off to Obama. That is incredible and very awesome in this country. That's huge.
