DNC gets off to a rousing start with mix of A-list celebs and progessive politicians

August 26, 2008 — OK, I could have done without hearing this line from Denver global warming activist Laurie David Sunday night at the Green Sunday at Red Rocks concert kicking off the Democratic National Convention: “Any planet that has Sheryl Crow on it will always be hot.”

She was quoting a college student from one of her global warming bus tours, but still, that quip came with a high cheese factor. However, I will say this, whatever celebs the Republicans manage to trot out at their convention next week in Minneapolis-St. Paul, they will not be as cool as the Dems stable of celeb supporters.
