payback is a ...heck of a thing.

The source, familiar with some of the details but not authorized to discuss them, said the DNC also cut Turner and another prominent and effective surrogate, actress Rosario Dawson, from the promotional video that aired just before Sanders' Monday night speech. Sanders reportedly fought the moves, but was not able to overturn the decision.

Also lol at Rosario Dawson being called an effective surrogate.

Dawson made Lewinsky and FBI references at rallies. I wonder why her spot got cut.

Screw her IMHO.

Good job DNC for cutting her out!

Now if you could just bar Jill Stein and her Green mob from the building, I would appreciate it!

Being a surrogate to a loser who is too old to run again is pretty sad. By January they will all be forgotten and we will have another Clinton Presidency.

5. Sanders had a great run that succeeded far more than anyone expected.

No shame in being a surrogate for him.

But, Dawson was utterly shameful in how she behaved.

6. They pulled it because she refused to endorse Hillary. Well that is just too bad Nina. You are at

a Democratic Convention. The candidate you supported just endorsed Hillary, and asked his supporters to follow suit, and you instead want to make a statement how you won't endorse Hillary.

Go join another political party. Those who consider themselves Democrats, will stay to improve and make the Democratic party better and more progressive.

Rosario used Monica Lewinsky to trash Hillary and refused to apologize. She sided with Monica to the cheers of the crowd. Talk about running a negative campaign. Blech. Did she really think she could be a featured player after pulling that stunt? She's done.

The naysayers and nasty Hillary critics need to take a seat on the sidelines. Or, like Susan Sarandon, GO HOME.

And "Deathproof"-I am a huge Kevin Smith and Taurentino fan--but she sounded terrible--just ridiculous.
