So all the buzz today was supposed to be about two big Wednesday speeches -- Bill Clinton’s and Joe Biden.


Why, then, is everyone in Denver talking about stagecraft?


It’s simple: Reporters got their first glimpse of the stage where Barack Obama will deliver his speech tomorrow night at Invesco Field. Reuters described the set as similar to a "Greek temple."

Thus a legend -- not the good kind -- was born. Said one Democrat: "This is a disaster of mythical proportions." Said another: "It's not enough that he wants to be president -- he wants to be Zeus." Said the first: "Will he send down thunderbolts from the mountain?"

Those are the Democrats -- though assuredly not Obama partisans. Cue the Republicans: The RNC blasted around an e-mail referring to the "Temple of Obama." "Tomorrow you're going to see Obama come down from Olympus to be among us mere mortals," Michael Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, told reporters in Denver.

Although I think somehow this will be blamed on President Bush.

I wonder if the opening ceremonies will be some Republican prisoners being fed to the lions.... This is truly inspirational.

Come to think of it he does look a bit like Apophis.....

Good question. Pelosi or Dean, most likely (has Obama had enough time in the Senate to even make any real friends?)  Hillary should be cast as Cassius, though....she's definitely got a "lean and hungry look."

Listening to Biden last night, Biden was playing the part of Moses.

"Bow ye unto thy one true Obama and ye shall certainly see... with the wave of  but one almighty Obama hand, all the nation's people shall have insurance, and milk, and honey, and pots full of chickens. And the nation shall be respected, and all her worldly enemies shall beg at her feet for mercy and forgiveness, lest they be smitten."

Mccain may have been on to something when he mocked the connection between Obama and Britney Spears

quote:

DENVER - Democrats will kneel before the "Temple of Obama" tonight.

As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama will aim for Mount Olympus when he accepts his party's nomination atop an enormous, Greek-columned stage - built by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears' last tour.
