John Tierney is a well-hidden oasis of candor and clarity at the Slimes.

It's the Oliphant syndrome in action, I fear. The GOP selects the most capable and experienced people to organize its conventions, the Dems select the next quota-qualified team in line, regardless of applicable skills.

Is Dukakis going to be the MC?

These are the people who want to run the country and they can't even run a convention. Pretty sad. But worst they didn't even offer custard filled doughnuts. :O)

They forgot to mention that they plan on shutting down the new 14.5 billion dollar highway that runs next to the Fleet center. Security concerns that it is to close to the building. Your tax dollars at work.

I loved Leno's joke one night last week. He was talking about the toy store company, FAO Schwartz declaring bankruptcy. He said, "how can a toy store go bankrupt during the Christmas season; that's like a brothel going out of business during the democratic convention."

They should move the convention out to where the Burning Man ceremony is held. Big open area, lots of tents, huge effigy of Bush, burn it, chant for awhile, and go home.

If we're lucky, the conventioneers will get home before realizing that they had forgotten to choose a candidate, they'd only expressed their hatred of the President.

But mostly likely, they'll hold the exact same convention in Boston, and spend a lot of money for a very similar result.

According to this article, the Republican Convention in New York will host "15,000 journalists." That's worse than the Democrats' prostitutes. Imagine what a sink of iniquity it will be.

Consider that fiasco in Los Angeles I don't see why anyone would be surprised that the dems have no organization.

Instead, they were treated to glazed and jelly doughnuts, speeches about the virtues of grass-roots Democrats and the evils of Republicans, and an amateur ice show. And that was about it.

[SNICKER.] How dare the press complain baout their masters?!

[Lady Jag]

They want to run a country and they can't even run an errand!
