Powerline Yuck

From Powerline, home of racist, forgetful fucktards:
Michelle Obama: How Did She Do?

Beats me. She needed to say she loves America, to talk about our servicemen and to praise Hillary Clinton. She did those things. The style wasn't smooth; she often seemed rushed and edgy, but I don't think many people will hold that against her.

What mostly struck me was how over the top the finish was, with Barack appearing on video and talking to his very cute daughters. I doubt whether any Republican could get away with such a cloying scene, but everyone seems to accept that the Obamas need to convince voters that they are normal Americans.
I don't know where I heard it , and I don't remember it, but it is said Nancy said hello to Ronnie via giant video at a convention. I'll check around tomorrow.

Update: From The Frustrated Lawyer (in comments):Re: smarmy Nancy Reagan greeting Ronald at 1984 convention: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2... (see the sidebar) and http://books.google.com/books?id=1ICcikZ2WrAC&p...

See? I told ya so!
