Dem convention follies

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 26, 2004 12:03 AM

This will be a continually updated file on the best of the worst of the Democratic National Convention’s freaks, flubs, and follies. Feel free to leave your nominations.

7/26 Edition.

“What liberal media?” moment of the day: From Spoons, CNN engages in some wishful thinking with its characterization of Carter, Clinton, and Gore as a “trio of former Presidents. Screenshots here.

7/25 Edition.

Most offensive quote from an anti-war activist. From Medea Benjamin, a “peace campaigner” from San Francisco, objecting to the gated demonstration area outside of Fleet Center: “”We don’t deserve to be put in a detention centre, a concentration camp.” This is a concentration camp, ninny. Now, go stand in a corner and grow some shame.

Biggest letdown for conservative Star Wars fans. Natalie Portman in a John Kerry t-shirt.

Most enticing photo for a caption contest
. This pic of actors Ben Affleck, Amber Tamblyn, and Danny Glover at a pre-convention event:

I’ll start: Danny Glover holds up the number of people who saw Gigli.

    They just don’t get it. Willing to do anything to advance their extremist, fringe politics they’ll even insult and insult the millions of people who suffered in concentration camps.

    That’s some “peace campaigner.”

    Eh. On Sunday The New York Times admitted it’s a left-leaning newspaper, and Cokie Roberts admitted on TV that the mainstream broadly opposes partial-birth abortion.

    If you’d asked me on Saturday, I would have said that the odds of either one of those events happening would be much smaller than say, Ted Kennedy walking out on stage at the convention during broadcast coverage with his pants down and a martini in his hand, shouting “George Bush is a f___ing b__stahd!”, and then peeing his pants. Also much less likely than Bill Clinton getting caught by a NY Post photographer making out with an undeclared transvestite blonde.

    The Times and Cokie incidents seem to suggest that Kismet is on our side this week. Cross your fingers and hope for more favorable freak happenings.

    Don’t tell us such sad things about Natalie Portman, we always thought it was her attractive movie character that was far-out. Apparently it is her personal character that is vacuous. She’s still babolicious, though.

    On a serious note, Natalie was born in Israel. She should have better sense than to think that John Kerry will do anything other than follow France’s lead and kiss Yassir “Arabfat’s” behind.

    Affleck wondering if he told Amber Talbilyn That she has a nice body …would she hold it against him?

    Amber is confused. Why would Mr Glover take a taxi ? Why didn’t his agent arrange for Limo like that cool Hummer she took today.

    I will say this about the ‘approved protest zone’: comparing it to a concentration camp is insulting to those who have survived them… but do look at the pictures of the protest zone. I think Michelle is being VERY kind in calling it a fortified gate. The place looks like a bunker, with fences lined with razor wire and concrete barriers. Conservative or liberal protestor, it looks like WAY too much. Incidentally, check out Day-By-Day’s Sunday strip for a nice commentary on it.

    As for Danny Glover, possible captions:

    ‘Mr Glover eludicates on the more poigant aspects of Lethal Weapon 3′

    ‘Ben Affleck and Amber Tamblyn suddenly realized the true fall of the careers when they see themselves seated next to the star of Operation Dumbo Drop’

    I think Amber Tamblyn is cute. Of course, part of that is because of her infantile political sense. She’s just so cutesy-wootsy when she stamps her Manolos and tosses that $500 salon haircut, demanding fairness for the common people. Feh. I think fairness involves a lot of free kisses for conservative guys in California. Get hoppin’ Amber!

    Thanks for the “Operation Dumbo Drop” reference, Derek. I think that should be the theme slogan for the DNC and Kerry’s campaign.

    They can say what they like but does the middle/poor class think these rich spoiled millionaire actors actually have a clue about our lot in life?

    As Ben begins to realize how dangerously boring the Democrats are, he wonders if it is too late to switch parties… and then he sadly realizes that he could never get a Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter anyway, so why bother…?

    I think that the middle/poor class feels the same way about rich spoiled millionaire actors as they do about rich spoiled millionaire politicians actually having a clue about their lot in life.

    And if Republicans are truly against actors being involved in politics, why did they vote for candidates like Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sonny Bono?

    Yeah, Kerry (billionaire) and Edwards (millionaire). :-)

    Ronald Reagan (R.I.P., a true conservative), Arnold Schwarzenegger (warmed-over Democrat), and Sonny Bono (R.I.P., was a liberal Republican).

    I don’t care if actors are politically active. Just so they don’t try to tell me they know what’s best for me cause they are famous or they “feel my pain”.

    Exactly! Is there any senator or representative in office who isn’t at least a millionaire? These days you can’t enter the race for mayor of a major city unless you’ve got millions of campaign dollars behind you.

    It’s sad to see millions of dollars poured into political campaigns (doesn’t matter whether it’s republican, democrat or independent) and then go straight into the pockets of our media. I don’t know why we continue to put up with this, but do we really have a choice when those making our laws benefit significantly from these practices?

    Until we can reform campaign funding and lobbying practices, this nation will continue to be governed by the wealthy, for the wealthy. None of these people, whether they be politician, actor or media mogul truly feel the pain of the middle/poor class even though they claim to.
