calimary's JournalIs it wrong that I'm smiling? Besides, Melania flat-out told Matt Lauer she wrote it.
With as little help as possible. During the interview done on the Trump plane before they arrived at the convention center yesterday. The interview was for the following morning's "Today" show.
Well, this Nicolle Wallace was sarah palin's personal shopper eight years ago.
She was given the job of taking miss sarah to Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus too, I think, and buying her 150-thousand dollars worth of outfits to wear on the campaign.
I'm starting a count of the times The Donald's campaign has now shot itself in the foot.
They won't acknowledge it, of course.
But when Pence joined the ticket and it was revealed that he voted the same way Hillary did on the Iraq War (oh, for HIM, it's okay). So that kind of pees on the whole "she voted for the war, damn her!" thing - although they won't walk that back.
And all the "she lied" slinging going on about Hillary - rendered kinda flabby now that Melania can be painted as a plagiarist.
They'll remain in denial, of course. But I appreciate how they're so thoughtful providing us with material with which to hit back!
Said she wasn't going.
I bet it's because she couldn't find anybody with a private jet willing to fly her there for free.
And from now on, when Melania responds to some message,
does she pick up the mic and say - "copy that!" ?
Did anyone see CNN's coverage?
OMG! We switched over from MSNBC to see if they had it and they were indeed starting to cover it. It was Don Lemon and a colleague with a panel of talking heads. It was a fuck-up but the blame was going to the speechwriters.
I kept mumbling about the clip with Matt Lauer interviewing her and Donald that I'd seen way earlier, when they'd arrived before her speech. He asked her if she'd been practicing her speech and she said she'd just looked over it, and added "because I wrote it, with as little help as possible." And I kept mumbling "she said she wrote it!"
Well, they talked about it and showed the clips of the Michelle Obama speech and Melania's - um - excerpts. And speechwriters messed up and on and on. And then somebody brought up that she'd talked with Matt Lauer beforehand, and "show the clip." And BANG! "...because I wrote it, with as little help as possible." End of clip, cue the talent.
And they cut back to Don Lemon and his colleague sitting there side-by-side, and it was BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL!!! There they sat, facing the camera, mute. They sat there for two or three beats, staring blankly at the camera, with nothing to say. Finally one of them broke their frozen silence and quipped something like "the only thing I have to say about that at this point is "no comment'."
I almost fell down laughing! Those blank stares! Sheer caught-with-their-pants-down blank stares. They had no idea what to say. Their blank expressions told you everything! Textbook deer-in-the-headlights! PRICELESS!!!
Welcome to the big leagues, Melania.
Edited to correct her quote so it's exact.
Welcome to DU, 3Stones!
Indeed. Here's hoping everybody behaves themselves. Make it about goofy souvenir collecting, everybody.
"...and no religion, too."
Yeah. I think about that one a lot, too. Those lyrics raise up an ache in my heart.
