The Sad and Tawdry Line-up for the Democrat Convention in CharlotteAugust, 30, 2012 — nicedeb
 Oh, this is fun. I was wondering who the Democrats were going to have speaking at the Obamacrat Convention. The smarter ones are staying away. That leaves hardcore progs from deep blue districts and other assorted Obama loyalists and hangers on. Check out this “murderers row” as Ace calls it:

Seriously?! Where are the beloved leaders of the party - Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? No Hillary?! Most of the names l recognize are toxic progs like Sebelius, Barbara Lee, Gov. O’Malley, Barbara Mikulski and Salazar or repugnant has beens like Jimmah, BJ, and Lurch, not to mention one reviled political opportunist, Charlie Crist, and one very unappealing vagina advocate, Sandra Fluke. The icing on the cake of course is that the hostess of this mess will be the deeply unappealing Debbie Wasserman Schultz – (with relaxed curls and massive amounts of stage makeup.) What a train wreck.
