Great column.

Yikes.  That first one is actually pretty creepy.

Yeah, I got all worried about it, too, but then I saw the set, and I was like... what's the big deal?

It doesn't look gaudy or pretentious at all... it's rather austere, actually...

Once people see it, most people will have the same reaction I did... that being... big deal....

on the NYtimes website of those columns. My first thought was... why? I do think it is silly for the MSM and the repukes to pick on this, but at least from seeing that pic, it looks silly. They will only look "good" in close up pictures if he stands directly in front of them.

One other thing. I thought I saw that the stage was in the center of the field. How can you have a backdrop on stage if you are doing an "in the round" setting?

Just some thoughts and observations.

Real patriots only pose with "Doric" columns.  

This is well know by all true patriots.

Obama has been dropping hints that this is going to be a serious policy speech about his agenda - what I might call a "Hillary speech," heh - as opposed to 2004 convention speech v.2.

If he follows through on that, if he makes his case directly to the voters, no one will care if the GOP wants to chortle about the stagecraft.  If they call you substance-free, proving them wrong kills two birds with one stone.

And here I thought this was going to be a column about the old Sega Genesis game, Columns!

Anyway, the whole thing is just another example of the reich wing throwing anything and everything, no matter how contrived and ridiculous it is, against the wall. They figure one of those pieces of shit they throw against the wall might have the right texture to stick.

Sorry for the visual. ;-)

Booya!

If this ain't a gotcha moment, then what is. Team McCain has to be shittin themselves, otherwise why so reckless?  

This should be posted EVERYWHERE today.

make the set of the stage into an issue.  Three words for the GOP - get a life!

Nothing about the speeches, nothing about disunity, nothing about any sort of riot outside the hall.  Nope.  They're forced to talk about Obama's half finished (at the time of the photos) backdrop.  That's how you know it's been a great convention.

What a bunch of idiots.

You've given me the first laugh I've had in weeks. The idea of Limbaugh bloviating about columns is so stupid, one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.......

Take care of yourself.
