I just had to watch - 27 Aug 08

Ok I am not a fan of Bill Clinton, but I have a guilty confession to make. In the past I did like to listen to his speeches usually the state of the union and other major ones that I could catch. So at 9 p.m. Eastern I just had to stop the cheesy movie I was watching and stop all engines, pull over, lay anchor and tune into CSPAN to hear if the slick one was going to pull out all the stops. Was he going to do what Hillary didn't do the night before and set his party straight? Early on, it started to seem like he was only going to talk about Hillary. So I got excited and wanted to set the mood…


Well I messed up.

In honor of the testosteroned one, I put on some Internet Porn for background thinking that was the best way to honor our ex-chief of impeachment, well I must have gotten distracted. So I missed anything important he might have said in the middle of his 20 minute speech but my ears perked up as he said something about us re-living the great depression that it is as bad now as back then (I think I remember my older relatives telling me how so hard it was to get a reasonable cell phone plan and how expensive it was to download I-tunes back then- we really do have it as bad as they did back then).

He continued on how we are so much worse off then back when he was president (when everyone was on welfare and we were bombing the innocent independent nation of Serbia). As he was finishing it seemed that many of the delegates in Denver must have fallen asleep or maybe he farted on stage and everyone was just a little uncomfortable; because there was defiantly a lot more hooplah at the beginning of his speech then there was at the end.

Well he threw out a few sound bites about military this and military that a few times. I think they were actually using the former Chief of State to warm up the audience for the next speaker more than as a headliner... because I really wasn't inspired.

The speaker after el ex-Presidente was some chick (cute but she was married so I kept my thoughts clean)...but I digress. So there was some military spouse (- or she claimed to be the wife of a Marine but got the Devil Dog grunt all wrong). She looked like she was 19 or 20 and that they found her in a trailer park just this morning. Well she went on how Barry O was gonna be there for Military families and how he and Mrs AK-47 uh I mean Mrs. Obama know what the military families are going through yada yada yada...But wait... I have a question. Doesn't the fact that Sen. McCain was a Navy Brat, and has two sons in the Military, and was himself in uniform for a few years kind of trump any good intentions of the new Democratic Messiah?

I know that John McCain really had some Gucci duty assignments, that one in Hanoi probably had some good perdiem... but come on, that is one argument they really can't think they have a chance of winning.Ok just in case the Dems really turned up the heat with the next speaker, they dug deep and brought out a real heavy hitter to give a rip-roaring speech, a true war hero, someone who was able to lead the Democrats to win two states, a few counties in the socialist state of Vermont, and I think Guam in the last presidential election...John Kerry.Yeah he is the one you want to give this next slate of candidates some advice.

I am starting to feel better about November.
