Those PUMA idiots make me wish the Denver PD would turn up the brutality a bit and go Chicago 1968 on their worthless asses.

MSNBC didn't even show that wonderful speech. Too busy talking about how great McCain is.

MSNBC has decided to just not show the convention apparently.

Yeah, I'm not generally in favor of such things, but this is a special circumstance.

CNN just had several commentators (David Gergen & Bill Bennett) discuss the lack of a strong opening message for the convention and prevalence of liberal political figures as a potential liability.

It seems like there might be something to these critiques thus far, granted CNN hasn't actually showed most of the opening speeches, but most Americans watching now are more likely to be doing so via CNN rather than CSPAN.

The Denver authorities should round up all the PUMAs and put them in those cages.  Turn them into makeshift concentration camps.  That would actually be pretty hilarious.

I'd support it.  More voters for McCain!

I thought he wasn't gonna be there in person.

It was "a surprise" (although it had been reported this morning that he was on a plane to Denver).

Very touching moment, and Ted was having to work hard it. Ironically he looks better than he has in years. No more late nights, I guess.

It was grand Ted was able to speak, in a last farewell.

Oh I figured it out now. Ted Kennedy.

I'll have to mark that as a must-see speech. How long before it's on YouTube I wonder?

And they follow up with a city clerk. Great.

Edit: If you took a shot every time he said Bush and Latino you would be f'ed up.
