Matt Lewis: Keith Olberman & Kids in the White House
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog —
This clip was perhaps the most interesting from last night ... First, it is unbelievable just much of a sycophant Keith Olberman is. Based on his post-speech analysis, Michelle Obama just gave the Gettysburg Address and the Sermon on the Mount all wrapped up in one. Second, there is no doubt that Obama's daughters are incredibly cute, and will be an asset to him (they already are; they reminded him he was in Kansas City -- not St. Louis!).

Best part of the night

Michelle Obama’s Convention Speech: Class Warfare Mixed With Not-So-Subtle Sucking Up To The Clinton — Say Anything
