Blog roundup & the Greyhound thought

Pam'sHouseBlend has video interview with a California assemblywoman on sexual abuse of active-duty military servicewomen, and some moving tributes to LGBT activist Del Martin

 23/6 continues to taunt the PUMAs, though the rest of the progressive blogosphere mainly is over it, except for blaming the MSM for keeping afloat reports of the diehard Hillary supporters.

 At The Nation, John Nichols speculates on how far McCain's going to stretch in his VP choice; Bob Moser talks about why Southerners looove them that Joe Biden, after bitch-slapping Bill Clinton ("slithered onstage last night to nourish his ego afresh"). Amy Melber's piece yesterday on the record numbers of Americans following the convention started out strongly, but what are all those folks THINKING about what they're watching and reading? In a conversation the other day with Paul Chamberlain, whose VivaChuckTodd site walks the line between tribute and mockumentary, he told me about walking with William Geist from NBC's DNC digs to Coors Field.

"We happened across the Greyhound station when a bus was emptying out, and I thought, 'Hey, why isn't there a news crew here to ask THESE people what they're going to vote on. This is the working poor, this is the real thing that they're talking about over at the Martini Ranch, in their Armani suits, a half-mile away.' The dichotomy was striking. I mentioned it to the Morning Joe people as well. Everyone was, like, 'Yeah, but that's a little uncomfortable.'

 Oh.
