DNC Night 3 open thread: The serfs await; Surprise: The ONE descends from the heavens!
Scroll for updates…liveblogging the parting of the heavens for the surprise appearance of The One…
The roll call theater is over. Billy Boy prepares to strike the impossible balance between Clintonian self-aggrandizement and elder statesman-unifier. The PUMAs lick their wounds. And the stage managers continue prepping Barackopolis.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Bill Clinton read his lines with practiced enthusiasm. Obama, he proclaimed (while stifling a snort) is “ready to lead.”
Joe Biden has a loving family and an adoring, beautifully dignifed mother.
He is lucky.
He also has a lot of baggage.
He makes a lame attempt at a call and repsonse: “That’s not change. That’s more of the same.”
Clunker.
10:47pm Eastern. Interesting. We’ve gone 25-30 minutes without a word about Iraq.
Oh, here we go.
Huh? The threat in the Middle East is “fundamental fundamentalism?”
Still no specific mention of Iraq. He’s already moved on to Georgia and Pakistan.
“American cannot afford four more years of this failure.”
(Flashback: Biden – wrong on the surge.)
10:50pm Eastern. Comedy gold! Biden crediting Obama with being right about sending more troops to Afghanistan — a year after blasting Obama for copying him on Afghanistan and being AWOL on the issue.
Biden shouting…
“Again: McCain was wrong and Barack was right.”
(Translation: I was right!)
Biden mentions his SCRANTON ties for the 2,676th time.
It’s over. His lovely wife comes on stage.
She has a special surprise guest.
It’s THE ONE.
He has descended from the heavens!
He speaks!
“I think the convention has gone very well so far. What do you think? Michelle kicked it off pretty well. Hillary Clinton rocked the house last night. President Clinton reminded us what it’s like when you actually put people first.”
This is weird. He’s acting like an emcee. Not like, you know, the next president of the U.S.
Obama: “Change doesn’t start from the top up, er, the top down. It starts from the bottom up.”
He’s nervous. Where’s the teleprompter?
And ending with the obligatory afterthought: “God bless America.”

Night Three of the DNC liveblog.
Well, you can’t take America back, Obama!!!!!!! The country doesn’t belong to you or your party.
He’s touchy feely, not goth.
“Change doesn’t start from the top up.”
What a narcassist. Just popping in to say they will be at Invesco Field tomorrow.
Bob Schieffer gushing…….
Oh yeah… supposed to say sometin’ else… I got it… Gad D@#n Amer…. wait, no… OK GOD BLESS AMRICA!!!
C’mon, man, put your money where your mouth is.
You protested that you voted for Obama for his policies rather than for the cult of personality. Which policies inspired you to start voting?
You’re crackin’ me up!
Oh, now they’re hugging the babies who survived their policies! Gotta love that image..
Is Beau Bice related to Beau Biden? that one dude on stage looks like Bice.
