I had a dream that Mitt Romney was put in charge of the schedule for the Democratic National Convention.
He would start the DNC off with a keynote address by the top Hispanic in the Democratic Party, Julian Castro, Mayor of San Antonio. Even the main stream media might figure out how this compares with the token brown faces showcased by the RNC, limited by lack of diversity in the Republican Party to two female minority Governors, a black female Secretary of State and a Hispanic U.S. Senator.
Then for Wednesday night, he would schedule Elizabeth Warren, to be followed by Bill Clinton. Elizabeth Warren has told so many bald-faced lies that even the liberal left wing media noticed. She claimed to be a Cherokee Indian, without realizing that you should actually have some Indian blood to claim this distinction. She ultimately claimed to be 1/64th Cherokee, only to have the blogosphere prove that this 1/64th was white too. She is arguably the only major politician with more holes in her birth story than Obama. This is the perfect opening act for the biggest liar of them all, William Jefferson Clinton.
There are numerous reports that Clinton already despises Obama. He skewered Obama in the “I Killed Bin Laden” commercial by pointing out that Obama risked embarrassment if those Navy Seals had been killed or captured. To pour salt in the wound, in addition to scheduling Clinton to follow Elizabeth Warren, He would talk the NFL into rescheduling the opening night of the NFL to Wednesday. That way Clinton can compete with the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants for an audience.
Then on Thursday, he would schedule John Kerry and Joe Biden to be the opening acts for Obama. Perhaps John Kerry could discuss Mitt Romney’s tax returns and explain how important it is for rich people to pay taxes. Joe Biden just needs to be himself. By the time Obama takes the podium those people still awake will have difficulty containing the giggles.
To set the stage for the DNC and send a clear message to the American people, he would encourage the Occupy people to make up for the missed opportunities at the RNC and make a big splash in Charlotte. He would encourage 20,000 Muslim Americans to show up in Charlotte to demonstrate their appreciation for everything Obama has done for Muslims all over the world. Then he would line up every radical left wing Democratic politician in the country and give them valuable air time so they can explain to everyone what’s really at stake in this election. Finally, to make sure Obama has the right kind of audience, he would send operatives all over the South to pick up strangers in bars willing to travel to Charlotte and fill up the audience for Obama in exchange for free beer and a free bus ride.
Of course this was only a dream. Democrats were not about to let Romney organize their convention. But, under the brilliant leadership of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Obama campaign, the DNC has already done all of this and more. Perhaps they will pull this off and the DNC will once again send a thrill up the leg of people like Chris Matthews. But more likely, the people who are naïve, incompetent and inept will run a national convention that looks naïve, incompetent and inept. That is just the way things work.
