A FEW THOUGHTS LINGERING FROM LAST NIGHT
and still nagging this morning.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. And
I'm not saying it wasn't an effective theatrical flourish, because it was. But
I am wondering what the reaction in the media would have been, had Hillary
Clinton been this year's Democratic nominee for president, and had she, less
than two minutes after her running mate had stopped speaking and was still
basking in what was supposed to be his moment, come bounding out onstage
and bogarted the mic and begun speaking to the crowd about what she
thought about what she had seen and heard the past two
nights.
Okay. I'm not really wondering
at all. I know what the reaction would have been. And so do you.
And we'd have been hearing about it for
weeks.
