Both as a personal challenge and to offer some relief from the torrent of theater commentary on the Democratic Convention, I'm keeping my comments to one sentence apiece.
MICHELLE OBAMA'S SPEECH: A little stilted, perhaps lightened up and toned down by her fleet of consultants, but still her speech is bringing something back to me... yes, I'm starting to remember again... right, this is what it's like to have a dynamic, socially conscious, impressive First Lady.
TED KENNEDY'S SPEECH: A triumph for a party squirming to reclaim its principles, and a tour de force for a man with terminal brain cancer who can still raise the roof with the ferocity of an unabashedly liberal warrior.
HILLARY CLINTON'S MANEUVERING: The latest from the Spoiled-Rotten Entitlement Camp – a reported deal by which Clinton's name would be entered into nomination but she would then declare unanimous support for Obama – lowers the Clinton Contingent to newly churlish levels of divisive self-indulgence.
