We suppose in the town that makes “The Hills,” people have a hard time distinguishing the difference (and relative importance) between real life and reality television. Which may explain why the Los Angeles Times got television critic Robert Lloyd to review Hillary Clinton’s Democratic National Convention speech in the entertainment section. Because that’s all America’s about anyway; Making the fat, mouth-breathing citizens of this country laugh and filling them with Ruby Tuesday’s.

As infomercials go there has been a good deal of suspense in the Democratic convention. Monday night there was the question of the ailing Ted Kennedy. [Ed: Cancer jokes. Priceless.] Last night we had What Will Hillary Do?-

In the narrative as told and retold by pundits, these would be crucial moments in the Democratic family melodrama, perhaps the most crucial of the convention, their import not only symbolic but practical: Clinton finished the primaries as the head of an army of 18 million, but some of the troops had not gotten the word that that war is over.

We did, however, read in the LA Times that journalism is dead.
