Whoever compared this crass woman to Ann Richards

[Sugarcoated]

is whack . . . Ann was class all the way, a master speech giver. What a ridiculous comparison! Does anyone remember which who said that tonight?

1. Whomever compared her to Ann Richards is a mindless zombie

Ann was actually intelligent and witty. She was also a kind soul. That harpy is anything but those things.

to kiss Ann's shoes!

3. I heard it too

and I'm not sure who it was but I believe it was someone on the CNN panel. David Gergen maybe? I was switching back and forth between MSNBC and CNN because I couldn't take too much of the gushing and fawning of either panel for more than a few minutes, but I recall watching CNN for the initial reaction chat/group circle jerk immediately following the speech.

In about 30 minutes of post-speech analysis by the panels I heard more praise of GOP speakers and acknowledgement of brilliant GOP election strategy ( amazing since just this afternoon McCain's "judgement" was the feeding frenzy focus) than I heard in one whole week of Democratic Convention coverage. The Democrats had to "prove" themselves to the cable TV panels and supposedly the public, or Obama was doomed. He supposedly had to show Americans that he wasn't this vaguely elite, possibly anti-American, quasi-unmanly scary librul (read: scary negro) with a bra-burning, ball-busting America-hater wife because somehow, just somehow the public had questions about his patriotism and character.
As usual the Democrats have to defend themselves against outrageous charges from the GOP that the MSM treat as a fact that must be disproven while the press acts like the republicans are doing them a huge favor by allowing them to cover their most awesome, fantastic, glorious all-American patriotic event of the century.

I get ill watching it but I can't help myself.

4. She was a nasally PTA Mom, not Ann Richards.

Whack is right.
