Wait... There's More.

Alexandra Petri, again:

I’ve never seen someone deliver a filibuster at a convention before.

On Wednesday night, Bill Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention. And spoke. And spoke.

His speech went on for 50 minutes. It was like Return of the King, except that you kept thinking Return of the King was about to end, and the longer Clinton spoke, the more convinced you became that his speech wouldn’t.

Sensing that the speech was going to take a while, I got up, made myself a sandwich, sat down, picked up Ulysses, read it from start to finish, raised three beautiful children, and darted back to the television just in time to see him flip to the fourth page.
