It’s the night we’ve all been waiting for: The night Bill Clinton will finally get out of the way and let the nominee go ahead and run for president. Bill has his legacy to worry about, because, you know, he squandered it with some of the most boorish, cheap behavior in political history — and we are not even talking about Monica Lewinsky. Let’s let Bill let us remember how wonderful he is and how awesome he will always be, as the DNC Wednesday night showdown begins. MORE »

Your editors are ready to kick back with Obama and whatever white family he visits tonight, as we all enjoy Bill Frickin’ Clinton! Liveblogging and live reporting from the Democratic National Convention in beautiful downtown Denver, coming soon! (Thanks to Wonkette Operative Michael Gambale for the screenshot.)

It’s Dennis “The Menace” Kucinich thrilling the crowd on Tuesday! He kicked ass and took names! Wild applause! But the insurance companies and oil monsters still run the world — sorry, Denny! Oh look we have some more pictures …. MORE »

Your editors meet the delightful MSNBC mascots in downtown Denver.

Of course not, because the Pepsi Center is an enclosed sports arena! But she did give a speech, and she seems to endorse that young fellow from Communist Egypt. We did liveblogging from the DNC — here’s Part I and Part II — and now brave Jim and Sara will spend nine hours trying to get out of the Security City and find some parties. Your editor will liveblog the response! MORE »

Let’s watch and see how this drama unfolds…. MORE »

WHOA DENNIS KUCINICH MAKES EVERYONE CRAZY! You realize that all the speeches are stale bullshit and it’s just a lot of background noise while Chris Matthews talks about his memories. But Dennis Kucinich just killed in here, with a screaming “WAKE UP AMERICA” rant/chant that was quick and nutty. Maybe true, too! [The Swamp]

BACK TO HELL DOME: We’re off to Pepsi Center for another long day of indignities and dull horror. If you are a pal, send us a message and we’ll meet up at some media tent or “blogger lounge” before Hillary incites a housewife riot. Also, anything going on tonight?

What’s with the giant blue bear outside the Colorado Convention Center, anyway? Why is he doing the “paws up, bear trash” thing against the glass wall? According to the artist, the monster mutant is just, you know, looking into the convention center like some awful blue Peeping Tom street masturbator. It’s a commentary on the lousy stock market or something. [9News]
