Quote from the convention
"Yesterday at the Schubert Theater," a reporter shouted, "Alec Baldwin said the Republican Party was 'hijacked by fundamentalist wackos.' How do you react to him using that kind of speech at a DNC-sponsored event?"

With boom mics hanging overhead and reporters dutifully taking down every word, DNC chair Terry McAuliffe said that Alec Baldwin could speak for himself.

"You know what? Dick Cheney went on the floor of the US Senate and told a senator to go 'blank' himself,  so you know, I'm sorry, I'm not going to get too outraged about Alec Baldwin when the incumbent vice president of the United States of America uses language I can't use in front of my five children."

Word.
