Conservatives Are Very Mad That Barack Obama and Billie Eilish Made DNC TV Great Again

[LiberalArkie]

Much has been made of the Extreme Telethon Energy of the virtual Democratic National Convention, which aired its third night Wednesday with segments shot from all over the country.

Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson sang. Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama, and, in a brief standout moment, Gabrielle Giffords delivered moving speeches. Kamala Harris made history.

Moderating it all, an inspired choice of A-list actress in an inspired pin-stripe pantsuit, was Kerry Washington, in full Olivia Pope mode, staring into the camera and pleading with earnestness typically reserved for when there is a toll-free 1-800 number on the bottom of the screen: “If we are going to repair the damage that has been done...we the people have to get involved.”

On the first night of this, as Washington called it, “unconventional convention,” which has swapped the cavernous, cacophonous convention hall for intimate speeches and testimonials, my colleague Scott Bixby humorously observed, “The PBS telethon vibes are so strong that the DNC is about to throw in a free tote if you call in the next five minutes.”

Don't get me wrong, she seems like a nice up-standing person. Nothing against her personally.

It's just that it seems to me she doesn't know how to sing without screaming.
