I agree that Arshad and Kos were both very respectful - I was referring more to the heckling from the audience, and that one guy from Long Island. Hey Cheryl,

How completely stupid are they at the DNC? Is that a joke? Yeah, with the whole FISA thing it really reeks. I would rather they skip the convention and all that wasted money and give people things like, I don't know, healthcare! They could easily get progressive sponsors. No reason to sell out like corporate W's. I heard in one session that the Congress critters who voted against FISA the first time but for it the second got larger campaign donations from the Telecoms. Maybe AT &T was just securing the support of the sellout democrats in the future, you know, for other legislation where they will take away our constitutional rights. OMG!

I thought both Arshad and Kos were on the mark with their tone and not disrespectful. Nothing I hate more than people who say f#$k you to me with a smile on their face which is what Ford and his kind (DLC Corporatists) do. I would much rather have the directness and honesty instead of that passive aggressive stuff. Oh, and I didn’t pick up on the hostility.

Have to disagree on the sandwiches. My chicken one had no chicken so I tried a veggie and it had brown sprouts. Both were stale and too much bread. You guys clearly are not foodies, lol. It was great meeting you at NN. I hope you had a good time. Love the liveblog and your comments are spot on about Ford. I did one too but not nearly as good. If you have others, cross post on Blog for America. They have been asking to hear from scholarship winners. Oh, no Ned. Have to disagree on the sandwiches.

But taking it after cutting a deal for telecom immunity is just bad PR work. I just like the idea of cheerfully accepting money and then pretending as if it wasn't a donation to buy some influence.
