Bill Clinton made me less productive today keeping me up so late last night. Scarlet was cute and Caroline Kennedy needs to open her mouth when she speaks. I did think the Montana Gov sounded a little smarmy. Speechifying is an exacting science. ---

> [@Debaser](#): > > Clinton’s speech was OK, if you can ignore the spittle gleaming in the corner of his mouth. It was painful fighting off the urge to run up onstage and wipe the old man’s mouth for him. > > The speech was too long. Twice as long as it needed to be. It was also predictably about himself too much and didn’t focus on helping Obama. > > Other than that, though, it was great. > > Michelle Obama’s speech was much better. I liked how she indirectly confronted her obvious dislike of the office she and her husband hold. She did a good job of addressing that and deflecting it. Poetic confluence of username and post. ---
