Hi Mom, I’m at the DNC!

I’m having a real chuckle watching coverage of the Democratic National Convention on CNN.

Whenever the talking heads are talking and the pundits are, um, punditing, a crowd of delegates stands behind them, smiling, waving, and talking on their cell phones. The panel could be talking about the most serious of topics, but some yahoo will be on his Nokia saying, “Listen, turn the channel to CNN…no, Tivo Trading Spaces…okay…okay…see me? I’m over Tucker’s left shoulder. No, he’s the one with the bow tie. Okay, watch, I’ll wave at you.”

Shouldn’t they be doing stuff like discussing platforms or something?
