“BYOP” — Bring Your Own Pillow
From Goldberg’s USA Today column:
The major buzz of this convention is that there’s less buzz than the last one. In fact, there are fluorescent lights that buzz much louder than the Democratic National Convention ’04. Even CBS’ Dan Rather has officially declared ? in his online diary ? that this convention is “Dullsville.” That people are bored enough to read said diary is proof he’s right.
The self-imposed censorship is draining the party of life:
Dean actually gave a podium-thumper of a diatribe in Cambridge at a left-wing event just hours before his convention yawner. There, he screamed like a man on a three-state killing spree, denouncing the Bush White House “that likes book burning more than reading books.” Though he did concede that he was under pressure to behave: “You can’t call the president a fascist,” he said. “And we’re not trying to do that this week anyway.”
