Wonkette
Well, we’re glad that the planners of the Democratic National Convention have so diligently put together their celebrity cameo list for Denver. They have announced that Kanye West, Wyclef Jean, and N.E.R.D. will perform music shows. Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Forrest Whitaker, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Cheryl Hines and Edward Norton Jr. have promised to smile for the cameras. Corporate sponsors include United Airlines, Google, Coors Brewing Company, Anheuser-Busch, Xcel Energy, Motorola, Qwest, and AT&T. So many announcements, and such organization! At this rate, the DNCC might actually review media applications soon and let members of the press know whether or not they should buy expensive plane tickets. [WP/The Sleuth]

But Coors and A-B aren’t even Amurrican! Does this mean they can also import better musical acts?
Obama and Scarlett Johansson in the same room? Awkward!
Pssh. I’m looking forward to the RNC’s concert lineup of Foghat, Ted Nugent, and Bruce Willis.
Can’t they just move the Oscars up a bit and let Obama accept the nomination there?
Will Cindy McCain be stopping by?
So, with those corporate sponsors, the delegates can fly to the meeting, drink themselves silly, started phoning and texting folks to tell them how wasted they are, and then use google to find a nearby strip club. Sounds like a classic convention to me!
Since when did Wonkette hate beer? WTF?
But Pete Coors is a dirty Republican. Does he have a boner for Barry?
4tehlulz: Don’t forget about Wilford Brimley
Shit, Coors sells out to Canadians and all the sudden their good liberals? I smell a Trojan horse full of frost-brewed refreshment.
Pete Coors finally came out of the closet, holding a delicious glass of Piedmont Chardonnay…
This logo is making me sleepy.
Goodnight stars,
Goodnight air…
zzzzzzzzzzzz…
They’re the ones who really matter anyway.
Scarlett Johansson has dual Danish and American citizenship, so she is a traitor. When will the Democrats learn that the bitters will only support a “full-blooded American” (cf: http://jewishworldreview.com/kathleen/parker051408.php3)?
so has Wonkette put together the crack blogging team that will be covering this?
Kanye is being allowed within a mile of this thing? I love his music, but whoever’s idea this was should be booted out on his ass. The guy is a walking alienation machine. He pisses people off with regularity. WARNING WARNING DANGER WILL ROBINSON.
Wyclef, on the other hand, should be given a speaking slot. I’m serious.
I hope that there are clowns.
Oh no. Please, not Kanye. He can’t keep from flipping out ON HIS BLOG. If Obama’s nomination acceptance speech runs long, Kanye is gonna go Barbara Streisand up in there.
ReelectTilden: Canadians? I thought it was the Dutch? Either way, they are terrorists.
Botswana Meat Commission FC: Let’s just hope Barack Obama cares about black people…
(Obligatory racist joke in reference to musical performances.)
This year the RNCC will feature stoic silence, and if you speak too loudly McCain will personally beat you with a rolled up newspaper.
SuperRounder:
Kanye is going to flip out because the DNC forgot to pack his laser show on the trucks, and Kanye CAN ONLY DO THE LASERS AT NIGHT.
The delegates will be in the Colorado River Room at the nearby LaQuinta Inn, doing the actual nominating. When they finish up, someone has to call Security at the convention center and they’ll pass the word to the podium. Then it’s not-fried, coloful food for everyone!
I, for one, welcome our frost brewed search utility overlords.
Isn’t it funny how the patriotic heroic, union-busting (in the case of Coors) beer barons sell out their heritage of watery beer for a few extra bucks on the share price? Judging by his many ego-commercials, it seems pretty clear that young Coors is a closeted gay. Who else worries that much about water?
Our frosted mugs runeth over. Can we get Shaggy to perform with Wyclef?
DemmeFatale: I was thinking postage stamp.
S.Luggo:
There will be clowns. They were listed above; most notable among them the always unintentionally entertaining Kanye West.
Real men don’t drink Coors. They drink room temperature PBR.
How dare you! Please don’t ever link the DCCC with the DNC, AGAIN!
That’d be like having a secret tryst with Russ Feingold, but Harold Ford Jr. jumps on at the last minute. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
I know the bitters would shit themselves, but I’d love to see Chris Rock get stage time.
I hear Dukakis is gonna ride in on a tank, kinda like one of them “revenge of the nerd” movies.
It is still better than the RNC convention, which will mostly feature morticians, the undead and Ben Stein.
the DNCC left out the best part of this line up. front and center should be the words “NOT BARBARA STREISAND”
Hello dear ladies and gentlemen!
I would like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress) actually is a clone from original person, who has nothing with acting career. That clone was created illegally by using stolen biological material. Original person is very nice (not d**n sexy), most important - CHRISTIAN young lady!
I’ll tell you guys more, that clones (it’s not only one) made in GERMANY - world leader manufacturer of humans clones, it is in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, North Bavaria, Mr. Helmut Kohl home town. You can not even imaging the scale of the cloning activity. But warning! Helmut Kohl clone staff 100% controlling all their clones spreading around the world, they are very accurate with that, some of them are still NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled clones, so be careful get close with clones you will be controlled as well. Think wise..
Apparently those clones are very actively shown on your website. This is just a warning, because original person is not happy about those images and video, rumors and etc., in that way it would be really nice if you try slow down that ”actress” career development on your magazine, original Scarlett’s parents will really appreciated that. Please do that, do not wait until FBI agent give you a call with questions. Please remember that original family did not authorize any activity with stolen biological materials, no matter what form it was created, it all need to be return back to original family control to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. If you ignore warning after this message, there can happen law suit..
Original Scarlett is not engage!
Her close friend Serg G.
P.S.
H.R. 534, the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003, was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on February 5, 2003. After discussion, it was passed on February 27 by a vote of 241-155. It now moves on to the Senate for consideration. This bill makes it unlawful for any person or entity to perform or participate in human cloning, or to ship or receive embryos produced by human cloning. The penalties are imprisonment of up to 10 years and fines of $1 million or more.
These now join other nations as diverse as Norway, Australia, and Germany, which had already added cloning for any purpose to their criminal code. And in Germany where it carries a penalty of five years imprisonment they know a thing or two about unethical science.

ben afflick but no jenn garner?
tabloids are right AGAIN.
Scarlett and Barack are totally fucking.
These “conventions” are huge, stinking piles of crap.
They are a horrible, stupid waste of time, money, energy, money, resources, money and more money.
What a waste. Who the hell cares what some C-level Hollywood hack has to say at some dumb, waste-of-money convention? Who cares? No one cares.
And no one cares about these conventions, generally speaking. Journalists go to party and get free food and drinks–really. Convention-attenders go to party and get free food and drink–really. Politicians go to further their careers, party, and get free food and drinks–really.
Maybe 10 people care about actual civic duty.
And 99 percent of the “speeches” are terrible.
Grumpy? An over-reaction? Generalizing? Not really. It’s all true. The “conventions” outlived their purpose and usefulness about 40 years ago.
They’re a huge, stinking waste of time and money.
What? Nothin’ for the ladies? Those are very male-oriented sponsors. HOW DARE they discriminate against womyn this way. SHAME ON YOU.
I’m worried how are we going to get the hotties to the convention? What kind of ladies promotions do they need to run? I want to meet some ladies - just nice republican girls turned on by the unattainable B’rack and looking for some arms to cry in
