YES, WE CAN (talk a really long time!)No matter what side of the ticket you're on, there's one thing we can all agree upon. Bill Clinton's DNC speech was LONG -- 48 minutes long, in fact, nearly 30 minutes over schedule. Whoah. Of course, that was good news for those Democrats who love them some Bill and most likely not such good news for the Republicans who were tuning in. But no matter, we were all laughing about the way he went on ... and on ... We just might not agree on whether or not all that "on and on" was election-shatteringly genius or just a bunch of charismatic hooey.
Let's stick to the part where we agree, though. That the man can talk a shockingly long time. And then let's laugh about it by reading the best Twitter jokes that circulated about President Clinton's uber-longwindedness.
he has so much energy. should i go vegan?
Why do people care about how long Clinton's speech was? It was shorter than an episode of the Bachelor.
Democrats should have a big clock like the debt one at the GOP convention to measure how long Clinton speaks.
bill clinton met a witch that told him if he can give a speech for 24 hours then the curse will be lifted and he can be president again
They are going to have to Gong Bill off the stage.
Clinton could end this speech with "You know what, I did have sexual relations with that woman!" if he wanted.
Bill Clinton's speech is now entering its second term. #DNC
Clinton's still bitter the country didn't love his first long-winded DNC speech decades ago...sticking it to us now.
Clinton finally has his long-sought chance to be Obama's communications director.

. Please; I know the speech is long; but it spot on and he methodically goes point by point thru the case as to why Barack Obama deserves to be re-elected. Watch it online - Memorable line: "No president, inlcuding myself, could have gotten us out of the mess we are facing in 4 years. And guess what - fact checkers are calling it solid. With the exception of a few minor stretches; it is dead-on http://www.factcheck.org/ Contrast this to the convention the week before; and check out the fact checking on that group. UNREAL!!!! yes Bill Clinton you are right; Paul Ryan sure has alot of brass!~
Botton line - Charlotte delivered, Tampa was a fail. From the clown like primaries to their own talking to a chair convention; the GOP has shown us what they are capable of - and how they manage and it is not pretty!. Thank you President Clinton!
I fell asleep during the speech, did the convicted perjurer and sexual harasser and probable rapist tell the good liberal sheep that they are supposed to believe that "War on Women"(tm) thing?
I can see how weak minded sheep who are easily swayed by a charismatic orator could be suckered by that "cult of personality" thing. He can tell lies that would ordinarily infuriate me, yet somehow it does not sound as bad when he tells them...
I have to laugh at you republicans. So what if Clinton's speech was too long? At your convention, you had Clint Eastwood arguing with a chair while the crowd nervously laughed and wondered when the people in the white coats were going to cart him away.
I could have watched Clinton all night. It's sad that with everything in the speech, all the criticisms and endorsements, that the thing you glomp onto to criticize is the length. Well, sad for you.
