Kerryfest: Shining, Happy People - CBS/The Nation

[dArKeR]

The Democratic Party is more unified and energized going into this convention than it has ever been.

Say that 50 times in 90 seconds, and you will have an idea of the preconvention message that DNCers -- party chairman Terry McAuliffe, convention chair Bill Richardson, and John Kerry spokesperson Stephanie Cutter -- were pushing the day before the convention opened. Usually, when politicos mouth the same line ceaselessly they are trying to peddle a falsehood. But this time, the spin seems to be true.

As Kerryfest '04 opens, there is little conflict in Dem-land. No major tussles over who will get to speak from the podium in prime-time. No battles over the party platform. The protests on Sunday -- ghettoized in Boston Common -- were small and insignificant. The so-called Social Forum, a gathering of lefties, has produced no sparks noticeable to the thousands of delegates and mediafolk who rush from one reception to the next in this summer camp of politics-and-journalism. At an event honoring the late Senator Paul Wellstone, prominent progressives -- Al Franken, Arianna Huffington, Jim Hightower -- all said Job No. 1 is booting Bush. Once -- if -- that is done, there will be plenty of time for pushing and pulling with Kerry.

2. My sixth sense wrote this yesterday then today "Shining, Happy People"

You honestly look at it!!! Bush cannot smile at all. It's a forced smirk

but it's an evil 'fuck you' smirk. Cheney doesn't even pretend to smile. He smiles with his voice, 'fuck off'. Laura "I killed my boyfriend' Bush has one of the coldest faces I've seen. Something like a murder movie and she's the defenent. Her smile is what I liken to a 'Cold Mason Cult Smile.' The Bush Twins have no smile either. What they come up with is honestly something in between their mothers' "Cold Mason Smile" and aWol's 'Fuck You Smirk." And we all saw the twins practicing on last week.

This is all honest FACTS that can easily be analyzed but professional psychologists. And if the tables were turned, visa versa Bush Family Cold Mason smiles compared to Kerry/Edwards genuine smiles, it would be Prime Tme News on every media source in America.
