Temple O-bama; GOP Veep Leak?
While one Clinton after another took the stage in Denver to vow to support their once-rival Barack Obama (via DailyKos, HuffPo, and Salon), things over in the GOP big tent are less harmonious, according to the Carpetbagger Report. If McCain picks a pro-choice VP, the Bush-Rove coalition will explode into a thousand little pieces (via The Fix). Robert Novak returned from retirement to forewarn the disaster looming if McCain chooses Lieberman, and Politico reports that Karl Rove himself called Lieberman to implore the turn-coat senator to withdraw his name from consideration. On FOXNews, Rove denied those claims (via ThinkProgress). Meanwhile, the Dems in Denver want Lieberman stripped of his committee assignments in the Senate for being a "traitor to his party" (via The Hill). Other rumors have Matt Drudge teasing a potential leak of McCain's choice on the top of his web page tonight during Obama's speech. Meanwhile, the question about Obama's performance tonight is less about what he'll say (warning, satire!) than about where he'll say it (via MyDD and Politico): framed by Greek architecture in front of 80,000 registered voters (via The Caucus and The Swamp). How is that bad? Just ask the sneering GOP operatives (via Illinois Reason and Swampland) who mock it as greek hubris.
Facebook: The Movie. No Joke.
Hey, it was bound to happen eventually, right? blogs Film Junk. Hollywood writer-producer Aaron Sorkin, co-creator of The West Wing, is writing a movie about the founding days of Facebook. There's just one problem: as Sorkin admits, he knows nothing about Facebook. So he's set up a group page on Facebook called Aaron Sorkin & The Facebook Movie (via Bring Nothing to the Party). This could get scary, says Epicenter. "We've moved right into an age where the most sprawling, life-sucking, omnipresent social networking site is now considered grounds for commercial cinema" says The Lane Train. Sorkin made arcane public policy debates seem like the stuff of high drama. Can he do the same for the programming nerds who launched Facebook from a Harvard dorm room? asks Tech Observer. Venture Beat is more worried Sorkin will just repeat all the fawning stories that have already been written about the company, with his own crude spin. What Vulture realy wants to know is how will Sorkin, the master of guys walking down hallways and talking, write scenes of guys IMing each other for hours?
