10:10 - Rachel Maddow and Pat Robertson agree, the Dems (esp. Warner) should be making someone angry. Robertson says, "Where's Cheney? He has an 18% approval rating; it's a free shot!"
10:13 - Highest praise for Warner comes from Mark Shields who said something approximating: It was pretty good for someone who's generally known as a crappy speaker. My mom asks, "Why put him as the keynote?" I assume it was part of the deal with the Clintons. Well played, Hil.
10:35 - Finally, the delegates are showing a little life. They were so muted for Warner.
10:37 - Picture of young Bill Clinton with dark hair quite cute. Surprising that they captioned him "Hillary's Husband"
10:39 - Strange to use "Weekend Update" as a testamonial in the Hillary montage
10:46 - Hillary's going down her list of unity buzzwords, but I'm mostly just encouraged by the fact that CNN spent an entire news segment looking for Hillary Holdouts at the convention without finding any
10:51 - "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits" just became the new name of at least six bands
10:56 - Hillary's speech doesn't seem pro-forma. The "what are you in this for" is the absolute best she could have done
11:03 - Hillary: It makes sense that Bush and McCain will be together at the convention...
McCain: No! Didn't you hear? We're there on different nights! It doesn't count
11:05 - Harriet Tubman was also known for saying, "If you don't keep going, I'll have to shoot you."
11:09 - Speech is over. Hillary was pretty much perfect for what she needed to do. Now I'm off to Comedy Central for less fatuous coverage
