The Final Outrage
All entrances to the FleetCenter have been closed, shutting out at least 500 people all equipped with the proper credentials. "What can I do?" says a cop, turning folks away. "It�s not my fault they handed out more passes than they could fit inside." The Democrats � they�re a party of exclusion!
We�re among the outsiders due to a day of sensational DNC disorganization. First, the main press filing center was oversubscribed, forcing us to relocate at the very highest point of the FleetCenter�s towering stands. People on stage resembled ants. Dennis Kuchinich resembled something an ant might beat up on. Limited wifi connectivity faded after a couple of hours, so we sought a press center on North Washington, a couple of blocks from the main hall.
The plan: Matt would return to the hideous Fleet interior and file to me via cell phone.
Well, scratch that. This 80-capacity area on North Wash (currently home to only 16 or so journalists) might soon have a few extra visitors.
