2008 Bill Richardson, Thunderous
posted by on August 28 at 17:25 PM
When Bill Richardson was introduced a few moments ago the crowd, bigger and bigger every moment, began stamping it’s feet in unison. It sounded like thunder at first, and I looked up from my computer and saw a clear sky and then looked down at the stage and understood.
Richardson is giving a great, red-meat speech with a bunch of memorable lines that the still-stamping crowd loves. One of them:
John McCain may be able to buy $500 shoes, but we’ll all be paying for his flip-flops.
He is way off his prepared remarks as far as I can tell. But he’s riffing, and the crowd is screaming, and now the stadium is shaking again…
Viva Guillermo!
Still stammering. Oh well. Not everyone can be Bubba.
I'm receiving live updates and photos from Gabe Kerbrat (ex-Murder City Devils/current Death Wish Kids tour manager), and it is pretty exciting. Sounds bonkers in there.
I meant to say current Cold War Kids Tour Manager. Whatever.
What kinds of acts are they going to get at the RNC? How many country acts can there be?
That man HAS to be Secretary of State!
Stevie is kinda lame, I hate to see. I hope he doesn't sing superstitious.
AAAAHHHHH!!!! Signed, Sealed, Delivered!! Hubris!!
I loved the shoes joke...
Because the Obamas CAN'T afford $500 shoes? Because Obama doesn't have his fair share of flip-flops? It's catchy, but I'm not sure it makes any sense.
