We advise all readers to crush at least four shots of cheap Canadian whiskey before turning on CNN during this convention. They have been talking all afternoon about, what else, The Clintons and their Drama. CNN’s Denver headquarters are comically located here at the “CNN Grill,” which we assume is supposed to highlight some vague Western aesthetic, when really it’s just scribbling over any imagined aesthetic with random, vulgar words. Fishbowl DC has photos from inside. It looks like a decent place, except for all the Dana Milbanks there. [Fishbowl DC, Flickr]

You mean I’m not the only person who decorates with the visage of Dana Milbank? (her head makes a great sconce: lights up a whole room!)
Wait…perhaps I’ve said too much.
Honestly, they start selling t-shirts and now are selling Rubens.
I hope Blitzer chokes on Caffertty’s tally-wacker.
…I cant wait to try the Wolfe Blitzer steak!
[re=68814]loudmouthredhead[/re]: Yeah you’ve said too much… especially since Dana Milbanks is a dood.
Right?
Do they serve veal at the CNN grill?
Who was it who decided that Dana Milbank deserved a career on television? If ever there was a face made for print journalism, it’s his.
[re=68814]loudmouthredhead[/re]: I think I forgot what part of my comment was the joke….yeah, let’s go with a “his” in there and leave the creepy decor joke part. Yeah, I like that. I think I have some of that bourbon sublimating off of James Carville has affected me. Oh, the vaypahs! Ah declay-ah!
Caption for any of those pics: “And the crowd goes wild.”
“CNN Grill — empty and meaningless.”
“CNN Grill — come for the neon, stay for the existential despair.”
[re=68825]loudmouthredhead[/re]: mmmmm, bourbon…
[re=68823]JeffGoldblum[/re]: No, but they do serve Wolf….nyuk nyuk nyuk (don’t hit me!)

CNN Grill – How we ruined Ted Turner’s good idea
Anyone see “morning joe” originating from another prop restaurant?
A flaming abortion, it was! Couldn’t hear anyone over the din of the
joint. I guess this is the “restaurant convention.”
You know, the thing that endears Barry most to me is his lack of drama. Something I can’t say about his rivals, either Dem or Rep. Actually, Fred Thompson had anti-drama, too, but it was almost going so far the other way as to be dramatic. Sort of.
Also, CNN grill, eh? Now we know where that horse went that they failed to pull from a ditch as announced in ‘breaking news’.
[re=68835]dingleberries[/re]: In my day, correspondents toughed it out in the convention hall, locked in for the duration. They never had food DELIVERED to them, like bloated monarchs! They had to hunt and gather from the convention floor, often being forced into uneasy truces with rival network anchors to form more efficient hunting parties. It’s what turned Wold Blitzer’s hair prematurely-grey and taught Chris Matthews’ to laugh using a shrill, ear-shattering bark.
Casa Propaganda complete with a replica of the Situation Room with booths
Where the fuck is the Blue Ale? Liberal media bias my ass.
[re=68826]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
CNN Grill– Where the food is as Lite and Fluffy as our news.
[re=68847]loudmouthredhead[/re]: If they were locked in, perhaps they hunted and ate other correspondents? It would be a Darwinian Survival of the Fittest. I’m sure Ken could slay some people with the sharpness of his rants and provide for all the Wonkette clan.
[re=68847]loudmouthredhead[/re]: Amen. btw, Cafferty is the only straight shooter over there. Enough with the worry-warting about team Clintbot. They lost. If they don’t stop pouting because they didn’t get chosen for cheerleader… relent bitterz. As he said, “I’m hoping to see some Obama at this convention.” Imagine that.
[re=68847]loudmouthredhead[/re]: “…and taught Chris Matthews’ to laugh using a shrill, ear-shattering bark.”
That’s how his kind locate their mates and kin when waddling through the colony.
[re=68847]loudmouthredhead[/re]: and they were happy for the chance! Why I once shared a
carcass with Edward R. Murrow.
Oh, DOODZ. There are crazed people organizing this shit. Who knew?

I mean, that’s just for the Seattle area. Should I start a new one, in whihc I invite people to get completely slammed and make snide comments about the convention in my tiny living room? Because I will.
so, here in the safety of mexico, cnn en espanol is giving pretty fabulous coverage. only they are forgetting to show the white people. it seems all white people have left denver in fear of, well THE REAL AMERICA. i fear this alone will cement our fate as being the racist country that we are. if the cnn feed in the states shows only brown and black people, it’s all over folks. america is FOR RICH WHITE PEOPLE ONLY. all others…under the bus.
Clintons have more drama than the Macbeths. PUMAs wail about how Barry could have deprived America of such drama.
[re=68818]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I figured it would be along the lines of “Wolf Blitzer Lamb Chops”
[re=68872]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: So, are you going to go out with me OR DO I NEED TO STALK YOU ON MYSPACE?!?!!11
Also, this CNN Grill thing reminds me of a complaint I often voice while drunk at bars – why can’t I find a bar, just one, that will show me news instead of some sports game I don’t care about?
okay, now cnn en espanol is showing white people. FAT. WHITE. PEOPLE. in funny hats. that can’t dance. to anything. and what’s with the retard sunglasses?
and the nausea grows…on the bright side, maybe im pregnant?…
[re=68818]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Furry around the edges and overdone in the middle.
cnn = politics would be way more legit if they filed the story about this pub (linked on their FRONT PAGE earlier this afternoon) under “whores” as well.
CNN house specials:
The Wolf Blitzer: An O’Doulles with a little gray hair on it.
The Jack Cafferty: 1 1/2 oz. bourbon, bitters, sour mix and a pickle.
The Aaron Brown: an empty glass, stir stick, bus fair.
The Howie Kurtz: 1/2 oz. Jager Meister, 11 1/2 oz. treacle
The Sanjay Gujpta: 1 tsp. powdered Gatorade, 8 oz. Everclear, ice.
The Adrian Malveaux: 1 part sugar free, non-alcoholic Kalua, 1 part no fat skim milk.
Nothing like a little fake western neon to make CNN feel at home! Next, Anderson Cooper tries on cowboy hats that are either two sizes too small (like his t-shirts) or two sizes too big (like his ego). And, Wolfitzer constantly reminding us of why CNN is so much more special than those skunks anywhere else: “the only cable news channel broadcasting from the floor..”
You can create your own CNN Grill by using Lou Dobbs cast-off décor to be found at the local Salvation Army bin labeled , “Bill Kristol”.
For a Lou Dobbs more subtle, whiter shade of pale, try the David Brooks section in the store.
Need a more masculine Lou Dobbs touch for your grill? It’s all there in the Laura Ingraham bin.
WHO is that sad, lonely, white-bearded homeless dude standing solo at the bar??!! Somebody buy him a glass of milk!
If you want real Western flavor, go two hours north on I-25 and then left on I-80 to Laramie:
the Cowboy Saloon & Dance Hall, 108 South Second Street, Laramie, WY
On the other hand, only the CNN hoedown dive features Reno 911′s very own “shoes with wheels”

Drinks and then go upstairs?
The sad thing is that is probably an update for that shit bar. It is god awful, especially the d-bags that hang out in there before an Avs game.
Tonight’s special: Rocky Mountain Oysters in Larry King au man jus.
This is not nearly as interesting as Juli Wiener’s (tee hee WEENER) post. Scroll down and comment.
Sure, make fun of Canada’s national pride and joy by calling it cheap whisky. ITS RYE! Next you will be calling our oil crude. I hope you all choke on your arugala.
Brooklyn’s (what the CNN Grill is when Denver is sane) is a popular lunch/beer location for students and professors of the university across the street. Last week CNN moved in and graffitied it and made sure it was far too crowded for any sort of philosophical waxing to occur.
Word on the street is that they have a CNN brew. Perhaps it has a liberal tinge. Up the block is the bar and grill that Fox has taken over. If they have their own brew it is surely “Fair and Balanced.”
Additionally, the tap that says “Agave” contains what is quite possibly the greatest beer known to man: Breckenridge Brewery’s Agave Wheat. Wonkette team, I advise you to try this brew while you’re here.
