| The REAL righteous Dis - with apologies to ITSDB |

Have you all heard the latest from the Democratic National Convention? The list of speakers for the DNC has been released.
And Hillary Clinton's name isn't on it.
There are two schools of thought floating around as to why it happened.
1) Kerry and Edwards are afraid of being upstaged by Hillary.
2) Hillary didn't ask to be on the program.
But no matter how you look at it, its a major dis to Hillary. If Kerry was behind it, it is a dis from Kerry to Hillary... just one more in a long line of disses between these two power families in the Democratic party.
If she simply wasn't included because she didn't ask, that too is a major dis. Hillary is seen by many as the Democratic Party's hope for 2008... the heir apparent. If that is the case, and given her position as a Senator from NY (in the first post 9-11 national convention), the former First Lady, and the party's hope for 2008 (at least by some people's reckoning), then she should have been INVITED by the party. Not being invited to speak is a HUGE dis.
The DNC has said that the list of speakers is still subject to change, including additions to the roster. So I think in the end, Hillary will end up speaking at the convention. But it will have the feel of "sloppy seconds"... kind of like being invited in the second round of invitations to a wedding, rather than the first.
So what is up with that? Why did the party dis her like that? |

Maybe they can get Whoopi instead?

I also think #3 is more viable. #2 would be politics as usual. In all fairness, though I'm not a Hillary supporter obviously, there has to be room for differences since no two people will think alike all the time, even within their own party.

Nope...I disagree. Any patriotic half-wit sitting in an office position in the State of New York that witnessed 9/11 should also had been pro-war, even the most liberal.
