Idiotic c-span commentator, National Journal reporter, criticized Bill Clinton

for not including Monica Lewinsky and all the "dark" years in his nomination speech for Hillary, saying his speech therefore wasn't believable.

What a jerk.

So there's really no place to watch the convention where you're not going to run into someone saying something nasty.

On CNN this afternoon a panelist was told by the host that her comment was pejorative - the comment suggested that when Donald is given security briefings he also be given information on the how the government is run, stuff like how a bill becomes a law.

Does anyone believe Trump actually knows how a bill becomes law?

The idiot from National Review also said that the Clintons no longer live together.

I wish the Trump kids had talked about how difficult it was for them when Trump publicly dumped their mother for a younger, prettier woman with a larger bust size. That must have been so difficult for these kids to witness. I wanted to hear about how the wonderful man who is their father helped them get through that very trying time.

at the same hotel the family was staying at. (This was Marla Maples.) When Maples showed up in the area the family was, his wife Ivana recognized her and confronted here. Maples told her she was in love with Donald, and that she was actually staying at the same hotel as he and the family was, and that's when the sh!t hit the fan.

Unfortunately, when she moves into the White House by herself, the gossip will all start over.

While the Donald is on wife #3.

MSNBC aired some joke about this as well that I found in poor taste.

We've all moved on except for those hypocrites.

Part of the point of the story was that the Republicans have operatives in Philly.
