Your editors are ready to kick back with Obama and whatever white family he visits tonight, as we all enjoy Bill Frickin’ Clinton! Liveblogging and live reporting from the Democratic National Convention in beautiful downtown Denver, coming soon! (Thanks to Wonkette Operative Michael Gambale for the screenshot.)

This convention has been an unmitigated disaster. It is now about to get worse. They are holding the fake nomination roll call and floor vote to “determine” the presidential nominee, until Hillary Clinton fake calls it off, or something. It’s the Hilltards’ last shot at glory! Here goes. MORE »

Oh huzzah! Even if Comedy-Proof Barry Obama makes it into the White House next year, there will still be plenty of opportunities for humor … because Terry McAuliffe might be running for governor of Virginia. How much does Terry McAuliffe know about (and love!!!) Virginia? So much that Tucker Martin, the campaign spokesperson for likely Republican candidate Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell, said, “Terry McAuliffe doesn’t know Norton from Norfolk. If he runs, remind me to send him a Virginia state map.” Oh har har har you won’t be laughing so much next year when Terry McAuliffe shows up on the cable news doing rum body shots off your savagely pummeled ass, Tucker Martin! Why is every douchebag Republican hack named Tucker? [Washington Post]

This is really shaping up as the (only) musical stadium show of the week! Unofficial sources say Stevie “Used To Be So Awesome” Wonder, that annoying Wilheim-Am! and Sheryl Crow will play music at the Invesco High-Times Field at Mile High Stadium tomorrow evening. What a lineup! Also: The previously mentioned Bruce Springsteen and John Francis Bongiovi, Jr., may or may not perform their “New Jersey Trilogy” ballet for the middle aged. There is someone else we’ve literally never heard of, called “John Legend,” who will masturbate with a cactus. [Denver Post/Politico]

• WATCH YR CORNHOLE BUD: Ha, this dude we met at a cigar and liquor (and dildo) party the other night was comically arrested, covering “the role of corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the convention for a series of Money Trail reports” for ABC News. Well, when we saw him, he was just throwin’ those drinks down and taking pictures of the bar band, and smoking cigars. Then again there were creepy members of Congress there sidling up to the (surprising amount of) hot ass in town. But now our poor friend from ABC News is in jail for taking their pictures. We’ll see you on the other side, Asa. [TV Newser]

It’s Dennis “The Menace” Kucinich thrilling the crowd on Tuesday! He kicked ass and took names! Wild applause! But the insurance companies and oil monsters still run the world — sorry, Denny! Oh look we have some more pictures …. MORE »

It was confusing when Hispanic rapper guy Daddy Yankee endorsed John McCain in person the other day, because who is Daddy Yankee? Also, he makes songs about semen, and they are John McCain’s favorite songs along with “Dancing Queen.” Now we’ve learned, however, that Daddy Yankee wanted to endorse Obama earlier in the year but wasn’t allowed to. Although Fox News denies this, and says that Daddy Yankee and WALNUTS! have been friends since they met at a Most Important People On Earth party in 2005. [Ben Smith, Fox News]

• Obama wants to put every American in jail, with the possible exception of Bill Ayers. [RedState]
• Oh look, it’s Michael Dukakis, joining us from god knows where to apologize for the last two decades. [Andrew Sullivan]
• Obama is unfit to be President because Russia is much larger than Iran, according to geography. [Political Punch]
• David Paterson characterizes McCain with metaphors about not being able to see stuff well, which is humorous because Paterson is blind. [City Room]
• In this place called “Snohomish County,” some Republican distributed $3 bills that featured Obama in Arab headgear and the traditional Muslim car, the camel. [Fresh Intelligence]
• That world famous “Yes We Can” video will be recreated live, sort of, the night Obama accepts the nomination. [Political Ticker]

Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, of MSNBC, do not like each other or each other’s families, at all. And so here was this thing, yesterday, where Matthews snapped at Olbermann on teevee when they should have been asking important Rep. Steny Hoyer what he thinks about some arbitrary Clinton bullshit. They are working at a train station and no one knows why. [YouTube]

Your editors meet the delightful MSNBC mascots in downtown Denver.
