    Man, I love politics but hate this shit. Just seeing that list of celeb names makes me want to not vote for the Dems. Like who the fuck cares what Elizabeth Banks, Tony Goldwyn (who? the guy from Ghost?) or Lena Dunham think. At least with Chachi I had a “where-are-they-now” moment.

      YOU MEAN THE GUY FROM SCANDAL

      Also don’t forget Antonio Sabato popping up over at the RNC (talk about “where are they now”) to be an asshat

    for whatever reason, Demi Lovato opened the night with a speech and a song

    It was because they only had time for 1/32 of a Lovato. It was a busy night.

      If they had time for 1/10 they could have at least pulled off a Deci Lovato.

    This is such pathetic pandering to the single-episode voter. The real diehard partisans, like me, aren’t going to be swayed by anything other than a full shakedown of the corrupt system that robs the poor to feed the rich or a handmade, full body costume.

      That these conventions are filled with celebrity speakers is proof of how little the parties think of their supporters.

      “We know you won’t be convinced to vote for us with boring things like policy positions and visions of the future so here’s a giant disco ball filled with idiot celebrities to keep you entertained!”

      Lena Dunham the living embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

      Also, they don’t want to piss off her folks.

    As a Minnesotan, calling Al Franken a politician-celebrity hybrid really does him injustice. He is a fantastic state senator who truly cares about Minnesota families. He is a strong advocate for privacy in technology, and fought hard to stop the Comcast-Time Warner merger. We love him here and take him very seriously. I almost forget that he was once Stuart Smalley.

      Go back to Canada.

      /s you can stay, but in fairness to that description he did go harder on the comedy in this speech than he had for years. Franken knows when he’s on tv vs. when he needs to be an adult.

      He slips it in every now and then, but it is rare. I feel like sometimes he works too hard to curb his comedic instinct and sometimes his speech comes out unnatural. I get why though, he is still fighting the SNL “stigma”. I was watching the Fox broadcast when his speech ended and one of the talking heads immediately jumped on it.

      He got brought up on a different article last night and I went looking for a clip of him breaking down a cartoon, but ended up spending way more time than anyone should watching cspan clips of him being a BOSS. The History major in me geeks out over source-checking smackdowns.

    I thought Sarah was excellent last night. The impromptu shutting up of the idiot Bernie or Bust crowd made my heart fill with joy. The way they were interrupting people was rude and someone needed to put an end to their ignorance. Fitting that a woman did. I’m sure they hated that so much.

      It was glorious! I was willing to give them some room to pout, but once they booed the 11-year-old it was way over.

    Celebrities Love the DNC, and the DNC Loves Them Right Back

    Don’t avoid the real issue here: Does Joanie still love Chachi, and does he love her right back?!

      Chachi is an RNC exclusive. The DNC isn’t licensed to answer answer questions about that particular celebrity. You’ll have to sign up for the RNC newsletter to get the answer.

    At least the Dems got some real celebs, you know, ones that don’t have to be googled to figure out who they are. The last time the Republicans had a real celeb at their convention (who didn’t also happen to be running for President), he yelled at an empty chair for almost an hour.

        Making a meme. Comic-Con. Doing porn/grifting/not raising her children. Who? Seriously, I’m not going to google it, who is Dionne Davenport?
