Final DNC night: parade of screamers, lightweights and liars

  Well, I made it through the whole evening of watching excited Leftists claim they love the military repeatedly even while they work to squelch their votes, tell their sad sack sob stories about how poor they were when they were kids, and parade movie stars across the stage, some of whom were real winners.
  Of the latter, much as I can't stand her, Eva Longoria's was probably the best. She actually told a charming little story that resonated, at least with me, although she's been accused of bad math.
  The meanest and dumbest *star* was definitely Kerry Washington, who said the following:
Look, I get it. Whether it's school, work, family, we've all got a lot on our minds. People say to me, "I'm just too busy to think about politics." But here's the thing: You may not be thinking about politics, but politics is thinking about you. 
Today there are people trying take away rights that our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought for: our right to vote, our right to choose, affordable quality education, equal pay, access to health care. We the people can't let that happen.
  So the personified "politics is thinking about you" instantly became a Twitter meme. It has to be seen to be believed. She starts flipping out about 90 seconds in, angrily declaring that "people out there" (presumably Republicans) are working to take away their vote, their voices, their choice, their rights and make them invisible!!!
  She concludes with the profound thought that THEY are going to win because they are "the people," perhaps a foreshadowing of her upcoming film called "We the Peeples."

  Scarlett Johanssen was pretty lightweight.
  Then there was Jennifer Granholm, Current TV host and Canadian who ran Michigan into the ground as governor, who looked absolutely unhinged, like she was on something. Her behavior was grandiosely comical, now being equating with the Dean scream. Gosh, it was bizarre.
  Here's a funny mashup of it:

  Joe Biden has the habit of repeating himself, using the word "literally" when it's not warranted, and overconfidently lowering his voice as if he thinks he's holding his audience spellbound. 
  It was amusing that the DNC found one way to bottle Biden to minimize gaffes: put him on safely edited video. The video, of course, included bold pronouncements of the "bravery" and "courage" of this man who has a "spine of steel," even though all he did was say "yes" to the order to kill bin Ladin.
  Plus the adulation of Obama is seriously obscene--but that was true of the entire convention, which should have been labeled "The Cult of Obama," who has pretty much decimated the Democrat party as evidenced by the old and tired (though rich) losers paraded on the stage this week.
  But Obama himself. 
  Not unlike the self-indulgent Clintonian style of speaking, Obama went on and on, saying the same ole same ole things that simply aren't true, ignoring the true hazards our country faces, and mocking those with whom he disagrees.
  What was on display last night was that this arrogant man is intolerant of others' viewpoints, is condescending to average Americans, out of touch with reality and full of empty ideas that have no substance.
  And, believe it or not, some of his fans are actually fact checking him on his lies.
  No, really.
