No way. These people think they own the world and are entitled to steal a speech if they feel like it.

He will come to her rescue by accusing the press of attacking an innocent helpless woman.

like a Stradivarius. Adding a few of Michelle's cliche platitudes, gave him about $50 million in free advertising.

I noticed earlier in his primary campaign that the music played just before his entrance on MULTIPLE occasions was The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil". Now we get his entrance to Queen's "We Are The Champions".

I have some personal experience in this area. Working in a branch office of a yuge corporation, headquarters sent an incompetent bumbler whose management technique was to yell, scream and blame every underling for his own failures. An example: he once lit a cigar and blew the smoke directly into my face. He than said "You don't like that, do you? (Blows more smoke) Well, no one cares what you like or don't like. You are just a peon and you don't matter. I am the only one who matters here."

We (the working folk) made sure he got every message from "corporate" a day or two late. When he got phone calls, we said he was out of the office. When he needed reports to send to his bosses, we would make up nonsense with ridiculous words and phrases and turn them in. When he would give us instructions, we would pretend we didn't understand him and look at him with blank stares.

I discovered that when he would get in my face and scream at me, I could pretend my ass itched, give it a vigorous scratching, and he would lose his train of thought and stalk off.

The end came when he sent a post card to one of his friends complaining about his incompetent boss, his boss's ugly shrew of a wife, and how he would like to "bone" the boss's teenage daughter. Somehow, this card was "misdirected" from the outgoing mail and instead sent to the corporate office.

He was gone the very next day. Power to the people.
