Ziegfied Follies, thy name is Democratic National Convention

The coronation of Barack Obama in Denver is going to have a bit of everything in the way of clusterfucks.

Some, like the DNC’s overpriced office rents, are old history.

Others, like the DNC’s color Nazis for local caterers’ food presentation, are laughable.

A few, like only three state delegations signing up to be fully “green,” at the convention, are serious hypocrisy works of art.

Yet others, like the chance that the “chicken ranch” caging for protestors will be next to the mass media’s setup area, are poetic justice, at least if it forces the MSM to give more, and better, coverage to protestors than it did at either MSP (mainstream party) convention in 2004.

And others, like an apparent tightness of hotel rooms, appear to be Denver’s fault.

No wonder Obama is looking at having his acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium. It’s probably cheaper, and less likely to be screwed up.
