Hillary Clinton: “Equality From Women’s Rights To Gay Rights”

Hillary gave us a shout out in the first few minutes of her speech. Fantastic. Taking pictures off my TV doesn’t always work well, but man, her new face looks great. She looks ten years younger.

When Doves Cry

For the record, I really like Michelle Obama and thought her speech tonight was quite solid, if a little too slick and rehearsed. But what the heck was CNN doing with those relentless cutaways to sobbing women in the audience? “Oh mah Gawd, she loves her children JUST LIKE I LOVE MINE.” And when the Obamatots came out onstage for …
