Still Liveblogging Hillary Clinton’s ‘Unity’ Speech, At The Convention

Hillary Clinton is the most orange woman alive tonight. “Orange” is the color of Unity, and Barack Obama. Are the PUMAs buying it? No, because they’re sociopaths. But maybe enough people are. It’s all about getting your 51%, and Hillary could offer like 2%, right now! 3%!

10:58 — Hillary’s speech: kind of like the other speeches, but read by Hillary, so people are paying attention.
10:59 — Barack Obama now cares for the Invisibles, a.k.a. Hillary’s children. Maybe Mark Penn can make a little “invisible people” button for his website, too.
11:00 — Bill Clinton’s in the house, too! He’s in a little corporate balcony. People are falling over the balcony trying to see Bill Clinton in the other balcony.
11:01 — Oh she loves Michelle Obama. Are they friends? Ha ha fuck no they hate each other.
11:02 — YEAH JILL BIDEN FTW!!!
11:03 — “John McCain is my friend, but you need to know something: he masturbates to Transformers figurines in furry outfits.”
11:04 — She’s heatin’ up! She says something about lady’s rights and that is by far the most important thing to every Democrat.
11:04 — “George W. Bush is a real nut.”
11:05 — There was a nineteenth century leader, she says, who took slaves and brought them to freedom in New York. Her name: Hillary Clinton. Rodham Tubman.
11:06 — “Let’s elect Barack Obama.” OK! Heckuva speech there, Hillary. You are everyone’s favorite orange politician tonight.

  9. hockeymom says at 11:04 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Godspeed, my Tangerine Dream.

  10. badco/LoJ says at 11:05 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Goddamn. Not bad.

    Also, I want to write my name on Chelsea with my meat crayola.

    What?

  11. graceless says at 11:05 pm, August 26th, 2008

    hockeymom: Really?

  12. OffTheRecord says at 11:05 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Even Keith loved it. All is right with the world.

  13. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:06 pm, August 26th, 2008

    …does anyone dare turn to FAUX News for a buzz kill?!

  14. SwanSwanH says at 11:06 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Why aren’t they playing “No Woman, No Cry” now?

  15. Pacodenero says at 11:06 pm, August 26th, 2008

    shes not too bitter. also she will never wear a dress cuz she has chubby thighs

  16. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 11:06 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Methodists?!

  17. obfuscator says at 11:06 pm, August 26th, 2008

    My greedy self would have preferred more BarryBoosting and some more Healing of the Divide, but it was mostly pretty great.

  18. Not since Tang, has something so orange made me tingle!

  19. KittyKatMan says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Oh man, Hilz just left the bitters/pumas back at the greyhound station. The local authorities better be on suicide watch in west Texas.

  20. Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Is Biden crying? His lower lip is all pooched out and everything.

  21. After all she’s been through, and considering her speech tonight, I have to say, “Ha ha, Hillary, you loser, pity you are kind of crap.”

  22. Sharif DelMonte says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    PUMAs: cougars with men’s haircuts. Oh, and not enough attack. When are they going to rough up John McCain?

  23. Franklin Pierce & Pierce says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Brit Hume seems dour over on Fox. The speech must have been good.

  24. Pitch perfect

  25. american mutt says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Damn, Hillary. You’re like that classmate I hate who ends up handing out homemade cupcakes and handmade cards during the holidays. I appreciate it.

  26. forgracie says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Her timing is so bad I bet Bill puts on Al Green when they do da nasty…

  27. graceless says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    I loves me my msnbc, but my computer’s having a hissy.

  28. flyingspaghettimonster says at 11:07 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Batman & an Olsen twin!!???

  29. Why is Chris matthew’s hair yellow??

  30. chaseychasem says at 11:08 pm, August 26th, 2008

    now that was good.

  31. Destonio says at 11:08 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Olberman wets himself. Good speech. Not too long and made nice points.

    Favorite line of the day didn’t come from her, though. It came from Casey: “He’s not a Maverick, he’s a sidekick!”

  32. DoctorCulturae says at 11:08 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Sorry the Harriet Tubman reference was poor taste, passive-aggressive.

  33. HIROHITO99 says at 11:08 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Que the republitard commercials where they show clip after clip of her talking about how hopey, stupid and naive that she thinks Obama is.

  34. hockeymom says at 11:08 pm, August 26th, 2008

    graceless: It was oblique, but there (in my opinion). She quoted Harriet Tubman saying, if you hear the dogs, keep going…if you hear, their voices, keep going…

    A reference to the underground railroad and escaping slaves. So I thought, lynching.

  35. smellyal8r says at 11:09 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Farewell, my traffic cone. Tonight was your night. Get to the campaign trail and say the same things until finally you will believe them. Become a co-attack dog with Biden…PUMAs, if you want Jamakane, you will vote alone…

  36. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 11:09 pm, August 26th, 2008

    I’m assuming that the orange pantsuit means she wants to run for president of Holland next.

  37. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:09 pm, August 26th, 2008

    …Chelsea is cute but she aint no Sasha & Malia!

  38. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 11:10 pm, August 26th, 2008

    God of Dry Cleaning we pray for shirts ready on Wednesday.

  39. graceless says at 11:10 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Pacodenero: Her thighs aren’t the problem, it’s her cankles.

  40. forgracie says at 11:11 pm, August 26th, 2008

    You know guys…oration is about the pauses…was she late for dinner?

  41. Michael Beschloss finds the bad in anything

  42. Give her her due. That Harriet Tubman shit was great.

  43. graceless says at 11:11 pm, August 26th, 2008

    hockeymom: No, you were right. Is it over? I’m on the DNC right now, an asian couple. Am I on the wrong thing?

  44. Chris Matthews - the only man with worse hair than Joe Biden.

  45. smellyal8r says at 11:14 pm, August 26th, 2008

    forgracie: I’m sure the nets want to get away for late local news, Leno, Letterman, etc. I imagine there’s a clock over that prompter that gets set at 20 minutes or whatever…this is an infomercial after all.

  46. nietzscheprojectile says at 11:14 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Actually orange sort of worked for the Ukraine. Um, apart from the whole poison thing….

  47. itgetter says at 11:14 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Oh my god. Turn on The Daily Show. John Oliver is rehabilitating Hilltards with the help of a child psychologist.

  48. hockeymom says at 11:14 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Shut up Bill Kristol.
    I can NOT stand your axe-slash smile.

  49. DoctorCulturae says at 11:15 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Burn baby burn.

  50. ladymacbeth says at 11:16 pm, August 26th, 2008

    can this PLEASE be over now? it’s been 19 months and i can’t stand any more pantsuits

    so that being said, she rocked and i fully expect her to be rockin alito and roberts in short order

    AWEsome

  51. Wagamuffin says at 11:16 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Twin Cities rocked! She is getting to the point that her reading the Denver phonebook would sound compelling—I thought her timing was incredible! Not a foot wrong (am I starting to sound like Keith Olbermann?).

    Did anyone catch Michelle’s thin-lipped smile? A tad strained, I’d say.

    And noone else has used Tom Petty AND Lenny Kravitz tunes in their video intros. WIN WIN WIN For the Dems…

    Now—how will Bill handle his spot? A trembling convention waits in anticipation…

  52. I am totes LMAO right now…are they really playing Disco Inferno at a democratic convention…”burn baby burn” is that another reference to 1968???

  53. itgetter: samantha bee makes me laugh so hard i pee!

  54. graceless says at 11:17 pm, August 26th, 2008

    nestor: That would be a sexist comment, if….

  55. The Real JR Revisted says at 11:17 pm, August 26th, 2008

    She killed it. She was amazing.

  56. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:17 pm, August 26th, 2008

    itgetter: …is there any shock therapy involved? Please tell me there is shock therapy!!!

  57. Pacodenero says at 11:18 pm, August 26th, 2008

    itgetter: HAHA cnn is interviewing one such person! lol

  58. mirrorball says at 11:18 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Damn it. Did I miss the Chelsea pole dance?

  59. obfuscator says at 11:19 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Crazy Terry on MSNBC next! Maybe he’ll dry hump Andrea Mitchell in a fit of Jameson’s induced euphoria.

  60. The Real JR Revisted says at 11:19 pm, August 26th, 2008

    lol with the “No McCain”.

    Eat on that Nobama!

  61. itgetter says at 11:22 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Sadly, the only violence was done to Samantha Bee in an Obama mask. But you know that Hilltards feed off electricity, right? Only silver bullets can harm them.

  62. DoctorCulturae says at 11:23 pm, August 26th, 2008

    hockeymom: It’s not credible for her to appropriate slave imagery. Sorry, not in this campaign. That was a veiled reference, as I believe was the bald mother with cancer and two kids with autism. That’s how I read it. I call bs.

  63. Mister Tangerine Man just played a song for Hillary, and danced the fucking fandango as well.

  64. Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star says at 11:28 pm, August 26th, 2008

    DoctorCulturae: Totes. Did Hillary just imply that Barry is a black woman?

  65. Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star says at 11:29 pm, August 26th, 2008

    ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a crush on Brian Williams.

    I want to do him so hard.

  66. itgetter says at 11:30 pm, August 26th, 2008

    itgetter: That was in response to AngryBlakGuy of course.

  67. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 11:30 pm, August 26th, 2008

    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but a very good speech. If Bill does as good tomorrow, and she hits the campaign trail, this fall should be fun.

    And someone needs to slip the following line to Obama: “I’m going to say something that you know John McCain will not do nest week: I’m proud to be a Democrat, and I’m proud to follow the last Democratic President, Bill Clinton, and look forward to continuing many of his policies. John McCain plans to continue with four more years of George Bush, but he isn’t willing to tell you so.”

    american mutt: I love that allusion. We need a name for someone you hate but also appreciate. A “Rodham”?

  68. Mr. Evercool says at 11:33 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Recycled claptrap.

    We would have our wait times for MRIs down to 3 months by now if she didn’t fuck up universal health care back in 1993.

  69. AngryBlakGuy: True, but at least she’s not jailbait.

  70. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 11:44 pm, August 26th, 2008

    So, Michelle and Hillary delivered. I’m sure that Bill and Biden will to. Can the Republicans put up four people like that? I mean that don’t keep hating on the gayez and Barry’s fellow Muslims?

  71. faux news has got mccain’s bitch on that laid off all the workers at hp. she doesn’t feel the pain of the middle class because she’s been too busy laying them off.

  72. I had to adjust my TV, the orange was too much. At least she didn’t look like a prison worker picking up trash. Nice words, too. I think she finally figured out how to campaign.

  73. The 3-Legged Man says at 12:06 am, August 27th, 2008

    I have to admit that every time I see Hill’s graduation photo I think, “Man, I so would have tapped that.” Then I tug one off to my Barbara Boxer photo montage. What? It’s normal….isn’t it?

  74. I was waiting for her to say, “We’ve gone from Harriet Tubman to Harriet Miers!”

  75. Let the Pumas go over to McCain’s side. The Republicans will just reject them, having had their fill of divorce anecdotes from women with smoker’s breath. What Hillary should do is send Chelsea to the RNC convention in a mini-skirt. She’ll get every GOP horndog with a working Y chromosome thinking about crossing her aisle… well, at least the 53% of GOP horndogs who are straight.

  76. You gotta have an “itch” to spell “bitch”,
    Hillary needs her some Calamine lotion,
    or get Bill to do some “homework” on her.

    Orange makes me think of the OC — def not HOPE town

  78. Thank god Hil isn’t going to be in the White House again anytime soon.

    We don’t need four years of those ORANGE pantsuits!

    Gah :P

  79. randomsausage says at 11:21 am, August 27th, 2008

    strap on your pantsuits for 2012 ladies

  80. hatlesshead says at 11:56 am, August 27th, 2008

    Gawker swears it was tangerine… not orange. Did anyone see Billz tearily lip synching “I love you” to Hillz? I didn’t catch the rest.

  81. JadedDIssonance says at 11:59 am, August 27th, 2008

    forgracie: I’m very sure that Hilz and Bilz have NEVER “done the nasty.” Chelz was invitrio.

  82. The Tangerine Warrior fights for us all.
