The Buck stops here. Only in America can you get the most for your buck. We can split the night with DNC skaters entertaining from Mile High City, with gales threatening to bury everyone below sea level -- all in a twenty second news brief the morning after.Imus said: "Gustav is on its way, this morning, and Mayor Nagin is on his way back from Denver this morning to close up New Orleans." (Imus, Don, para; 08.28.08)
Mayor Nagin's progressive policies resolved to erase the image of New Orleans as place where graft is part of the old world charm.Sort of all runs together like: "Barack Bill Gustav Nagin Obama Michelliary Fay Denver Debutantes Joe Bid in Imus."
Pundits solemnize the evening sort of this way:
-Andrew Sullivan, however, is no longer cranky: “One of the best, most moving, intimate, rousing, humble, and beautiful speeches I’ve heard from a convention platform. Maybe she [Michelle Obama] should be running for president.”
"...If Jason is disappointed that Michelle did not feel she was able to discuss her own formidable accomplishments in her professional life, well chalk it up as an stinging indictment of American politics in the 21st century as prosecuted by the Republican Party." — Posted by Robbo the Yobbo
"..Gee, I wonder if her appearance on the cover of The New Yorker with an Uzi slung over her shoulder (it was “ironic” - I get it) had anything to do with Michelle’s emphasis on her life as a parent, daughter and sister. "(ibid)
“But those identities don’t reveal her full person–the Princeton and Harvard Law grad, the corporate attorney, the hospital executive–which were parts of her [Michelle's] life that she barely mentioned.” Zengerle later adds, “It almost makes you long for the days when politicians’ wives were seen but not heard. After all, if they’re not permitted to really say anything, what’s the point of having them speak?” By Chris Suellentrophttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4pSFrHfMWs
