The longest week(s)
: Ken Layne turns on the TV and regrets it:
Yes, there’s tanning-booth-orange Brian Williams inside the Fleet Center, solemnly reading nonsense about the Democrats’ convention. Then there’s some reporter introducing the inevitable protest segment with, “But will the protesters be as tightly organized as the convention itself?” Um, probably not! …
This is going to be the world’s longest week. Until the Republican convention, anyway.
The orange color comes from self-tanning cream, not from a booth (which gives you that nice roasted brown turkey look).
If anyone is justified using the categorization “people of color,” it is surely Brian Williams.
Aw c’mon, there’s gonna be plenty to see in NYC. Of course, it will be outside the convention, where every sideshow freak and fringie on the left will be raging like George Romero zombies stuck on a chain link fence, but it will be funny to look at… and so useful for all those 527 commercials in Middle America…
