EMBARRASSING MOMENTS AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
(A PRECISION GUIDED HUMOR ASSIGNMENT)
Kevin of Wizbang points out that Kerry actually DROPPED in the polls after the convention, instead of getting the traditional bounce.
Maybe it's because they haven't "gotten their message out"
Or maybe it's because they have.
Or maybe it's because of the numerous gaffes & faux pas that occurred. I have it from VERY reliable sources [makes "pulling it out of my ass" gesture] that these things actually happened during the convention and might have affected popular perception:
The way John Kerry kept "accidentally" brushing his hand against John Edward's ass. Is there NOTHING these guys won't do for the pink vote?
Hillary & Teresa getting caught together in the broom closet was obviously a staged bit of pandering, too.
Barak Obama leaving a finger up while giving the "Black Power" salute.
Teresa catching the reporter after the "shove it" comment to explain the exact where & what of the shoving.
Kerry's delightful, half-assed Benny Hill salute. Which wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't followed it up by chasing bikini-clad bimbos around the stage while Bill Clinton played "Yakety Sax".
Al Gore REALLY shouldn't have worn that brown shirt.
Jimmy Carter was doing fine until someone let a rabbit loose. All that girly-ass screaming and profuse pants-wetting was simply unbecoming for an ex-President.
Michael Moore masturbating while the Alexandra Kerry was onstage. His excuse of "I was imagining her in a fictitious dress" just doesn't justify the action.
Ted Kennedy... a man with an unpleasant water-related history probably shouldn't make jokes about putting people in Boston Harbor. Gesturing with a half-empty gin bottle didn't help, either.
John Edwards did fine. He could've been a little more specific when he was channelling the spirit of Ted Kennedy's dead mother, but... oh... wait... wrong show.
However, you have to admire the way they fixed their f****** balloon problem. When the technician explained that he couldn't drop the balloons from the ceiling because the release lever was stuck, Teresa helpfully instructed him to just "shove it".
