The Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York, Timothy Cardinal Dolan was initially rejected by the Democrats, but they took a beating for it and so asked him to come give the closing prayer. He gave the kind of life-affirming benediction that the Obama re-election campaign probably feared he would give when they rejected him.
The only network respectful enough to show the prayer in its entirety without interruption was Fox News. ABC, CNN, and PBS kept it in background while talking over it. MSNBC completely ignored it, cutting the audio feed too. CBS and NBC returned to local news affiliates as soon as he began.

So weird to see the same folks who cheered Sandra Fluke and Cecile Richards bowing their heads reverently while Dolan gave the benediction. Some even seemed close to tears.

The spiritual companion to cognitive dissonance.

I still think that they were all looking down and closing their eyes because they were afraid that a “benediction” meant some sort of animal sacrifice or some other weird ritualistic inquisition, and they were feverishly trying to remember where the exits were.

Hmmmm, you may be right about that.

I still believe there are some dems who are totally embarrassed by what has happened to their party. They were probably tears of regret.
