Anyone catch this insane speech the other day? Her shrieking should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention.
by Kate Hicks
Jennifer Granholm was Michigan governor from 2003-2011. During that time, the state experienced major economic decline, an unemployment level higher than the national average, and population loss. She was replaced by Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican elected in 2010. Michigan has since begun to see its greatest level of economic development in a decade. No one misses her.
Of course, failed economic policies weren’t any kind of dealbreaker for a speaking slot at the DNC; in fact, one might say they were a requirement. And all’s the better that her delivery is in the style of Howard Dean. Yeaaaaah!
Maybe they should have considered choosing someone else to speak favorably about the bailout — you know, maybe someone who didn’t preside over the state during the auto industry’s major decline. But hey, her unbridled enthusiasm for the president can’t be beat, and that’s getting tougher to find these days. Forward!
Update: Completely neglected to point out one of the best parts of this entire video: the woman in the crowd, cheering on Granholm’s pro-bailout freak-out, who’s holding…a Ford sign. Does it get more ironic?
