Morning Browser: President Daddy!

Submitted by Christian Grantham on August 26, 2008 - 6:59am.

The mother ship has landed. on TwitPicNashville tweeted throughout the first night of the Democratic National Convention so much some of you wanted a DNC filter so you didn't have to hear it.

As James Carville pointed out last night on CNN, it seemed like Democrats are burrying the message: no mention of the economy, gas prices, foreclosures, the war in Iraq... You can bet the first night of the Republican National Convention will go on the attack complete with snorting and spitting of Zell Miller proportions because that's how you win. But what does Carville know? He's only won a couple of Presidential elections that delivered the American people unprecedented economic prosperity.

And Ted Kennedy. Bless his heart. One lesson I got from last night is no matter if you force a bloody convention floor vote and deliver Republicans a 12 year stretch of deficit-spending bliss like Kennedy did to that renegade blip Jimmy Carter in 1980, Democrats quickly forget and eventually heap praise on you. I look forward to 2020 when Bill and Hillary are wheeled out onto the stage moments before their last breath for the recognition they sure won't be getting this week.

In the absence of any policy and any partisan contrast, the captive audience must turn to the superficial. And if you don't, I'll take you there.

Did you like Michelle's hair? Was it adequately bouncey and real, or where those hair extensions? My vote is it's a mix of the two. You saw her law firm photo. Her hair is a rock star all to itself.

Did that set look like a spaceship or what?

Was Howard Dean stoned last night? What was up with his soul-sucking googly eyes as his tried to trap a bewildered Ted Kennedy into a quick torch-passing embrace?

And Obama's kids! Awwwwww. How could anyone in America rob those children of a chance to call Barack "President Daddy?"
