When I got home from school yesterday MSNBC was showing the delegate count at the Democratic convention. I thought this would be extremely boring, because I really just don't care about all the exciting legislators who hail from each state, but I foolishly underestimated the play-by-play from Keith Olbermann and
Chuck Todd. Some highlights:
- Chuck calling Barbara Boxer a liar.
- Chuck getting all excited about the half delegates from the Democrats Abroad, and wondering what the screen graphic was going to do about it (they squished the numbers really small).
- Chris Matthews interjecting every once in a while to say something totally inexplicable.
- Chuck and Keith trying to one-up each other with factoids about William Jennings Bryan.
Did I mention that I am now a card-carrying member of the
Chuck Todd Fan Club? I am. I sent off my application the day after I heard about it on
Viva Chuck Todd. I got a card, of course, as well as a super-cool pin. I would show you pictures, but that would involve uploading them and you know how I feel about that.
