    The convention’s byzantine logistics made it near-impossible for anyone without a motorcade or a helicopter to move freely between the arena and, well, anywhere else.

    Psst: there’s a subway.

      Came here to say just that! It’s amazing how all these reporters from NYC and DC somehow turned into confused suburbanites the instant they’re in a new city.

      not only is there a subway, but said subway takes you on a direct line between those two places. I guess maybe these reporters are too brainwashed by uber to realize that sometimes there is a better way?

    Jerry Springer was walking around the convention plugging his new podcast

    You cannot type these words and not tell us more! Like how is he going to translate the visuals of emotionally damaged people beating each other up, unhinged guests throwing chairs or the inevitable hair pulling battle?! I mean, you cannot say something like this and leave us hanging!

      Semi-related: every time a chant started at the DNC, it took me a moment to realize it wasn’t “JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!” I’m not sure exactly what that says about me but it can’t be good.

      I just did some googling and it seems very normal (I’m going to assume you know Jerry is actually a very smart dude in real life). One episode is about Cuban communism and another one is about imagining Trump with nuclear codes. No inbred hillbillies to be found.

    Rahm Emanuel held a secret party at 30th Street Station, where Blues Traveler performed.

    I’m going to assume you mean actor Kevin McHale since former Boston Celtic Kevin McHale has a wife that is a well known conservative who regularly makes batshit crazy comments on twitter.

        thousands and thousands of dollars went to waste as lavish media parties unfolded with few attendees to nosh on the spreads and imbibe the sponsored liquor.

        You mean there was free booze and food? Unconsumed?

        You Americans really are confusing.

            Jason Isbell is not “Jason Isbell of the Drive-By Truckers”, Jason Isbell is Jason Isbell the solo artist who was kind enough to bestow his enormous talent on the Drive By Truckers for essentially one album. I say this as a fan of both.
