Clinton was apparently doing a good bit of riffing and ad libbing last night.

[Stinky The Clown]

According to various pundits who were trying to follow their written copies of his speech, he was off script quite often, at some points doing four or five lines for every one written in his text.

Supposedly the speech was to be 20 or 30 minutes and it went 48, his longest convention speech ever.

I will bet he gets the Dems a boost and that his personal approvals get a bump, too.

1. And he appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself, too.

2. The combined IQ in this photo is staggering

[treestar]

3. That tends to mean he really meant it!

[liberal N proud]

4. That is Bill Clinton

His speech would have been much shorter than if he followed the speech directly.

5. Well, I for one did not want it to end!

I enjoyed every word.

6. "I think we'll be playing this pretty straight," Obama told USA Today

on the subject of the DNC convention possibility retaliating for Clint Eastwood's performance at the RNC convention (link).

Then he turned Bill Clinton loose -- and Clinton Eastwood sure got a lesson in how to riff and ad lib, didn't he?
