Subject: RE: BS: Democratic Convention - Now It's About Hillary
The Bill Clinton speech was a delight:It may well have been the best time I've ever had watching a Bill Clinton speech, all 43 minutes of it (just 40 minutes over Donuel's limit). Bill was relaxed, and played the role of storyteller masterfully. He was really enjoying himself up there at the podium. He plainly and honestly portrayed the human side of Hillary that so many have forgotten, and he did it very well.

Madeleine Albright gave a good presentation, but not remarkable. Now I'm going to watch Meryl Streep, who's wearing a flag dress. She's got only 4 minutes, but I'm sure she'll be good. Can't say I liked to Elizabeth Banks attempt to parody Trump's dramatic appearance before he introduced Melania. It felt mean-spirited to me. I suppose The Donald deserves mean-spiritedness, but a mean spirit doesn't make for good humor.

So far, my favorites are Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Bill Clinton. I'm sure I'll enjoy President Obama tomorrow night, so he'll make my list of favorites.
