Did it work? Read one PUMA's liveblog of the Hillary speech

Inside the mind of politics' most dangerous jungle cat.

So Hillary Clinton is getting nothing but accolades for her powerful speech at the DNC. But the real question remains, what did the PUMAs think? They're the ones this speech was supposed to pull into the fold. Did it work?

Rather than speculate, we went straight to the source for a liveblog from a real, live, Hillary-loving PUMA. We grabbed the liveblog and pasted it below. Check it out to see what a true-blue, hardcore PUMA thought of Hillary's unity-making:

Hillary at the DNC - Liveblog!

Hello fellow PUMAs and any Democratic sheep that might be reading this. Doris Leann Paine here. I'd like to welcome you all to my liveblog of the only speech that will not be full of lies at this disgraceful celebration of election fraud and chauvinism.

I was hoping to log on earlier and share some of my thoughts about the travesty that preceded tonight, but as I've blogged earlier, Portia, my calico, has been undergoing chemotherapy for throat cancer. The feline oncologist says she is doing well, but is still not out of the woods. I want to thank everyone who has written me a note of support as Portia and I go through this trying time. As you know, the diagnosis was delivered on that dreadful morning in June, just hours after Barack Hussein Obama finished his crime spree and pickpocketed Hillary of the last of her rightfully owned delegates. I can't help but think that was more than just a coincidence.

Portia is presently sitting on my lap purring through the little plastic airvent in her neck with all the strength of her Puma ancestry. She is clearly as excited as I am for Hillary to finally speak the truth to these criminals. Let's get started:

10:38 PM EST - Sen. Clinton has taken the stage and is presently enjoying the level of applause she should receive every time she walks out her door.
10:38 - OMG! Bill and I must be on the same psychic plane right now. He was whispering "I love you I love you I love you" at Hillary at the same time that I had my forehead pressed to the TV screen, transmitting my supportive energy over the airwaves. I hope she felt the love from both of us.
10:38 - A note on Bill. Last week I blogged about the dream I had in which I was Hillary's husband and I wasn't sure whether I was Bill himself, or whether I was me. After some further dream recall exercises, I think I was Bill, but a female-version of Bill. So, in response to all your comments, I was definitely still a woman in that dream. A woman named Bill.
10:39 - She's about to speak. "Proud mother." Damn straight.
10:39 - "Proud democrat." More like the only democrat in the room. The rest are just frauds.
10:39 - "Proud American." She is such a pinnacle of grace. Okay sister, drop the hammer on 'em.
10:40 - Proud supporter of WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:40 - What...what can this...Why...
10:40 - WHAT IS HAPPENING??????!!!!!!!!
10:41 - OKAY. BREATHE. BREATHE. DORIS. BREATHE. BREATHE DORIS. DON'T TYPE 'BREATHE.' JUST BREATHE.
10:42 - Okay. I see what she's doing.
10:42 - Oh you wonderful wonderful brilliant woman I see what you're doing. "Single party, with a single purpose." She doesn't say which party. This speech is aimed directly at us! She's speaking only to her PUMAs. Unite, for a new party, a PUMA party, and vote McCain. It's clear now.
10:44 - "No sitting on the sidelines." That's like a direct call to arms to PUMAs everywhere. Purr PUMAs! Purr proud!
10:46 - "35 years in the trenches." What a soldier. She is the only reason I am able to live on disability benefits for my restless leg syndrome. PRAISE YOU SENATOR!
10:48 - "No way. Now how. No-- wait what?
10:49 - Okay I get it. We PUMAs have a heightened sense of understanding when it comes to our Hill. While the rest of the world hears, "No Way, No How, No McCain." We hear "The only way to avenge the injustice exacted upon me is to vote for John McCain to be President of the United States." It's as plain as the bald patches on Portia's rear.
10:50 - "You allowed me to become part of your lives, and you became part of mine." Did you hear the way she said "You." The intonation of it. She's speaking to us, PUMAs. Only us. This speech is for us and no one else.
10:52 - Me. She's speaking to me. Only me.
10:53 - Oh my God. Can she see me?
10:53 - She's looking right at me! Did she just wink?
10:53 - I love you I love you I love you. I cannot wait to vote for John McCain for you, my love. It's all for you. Only for you.
10:54 - "The supreme court in a right wing headlock." There's the answer to all the doubters who ask why Hillary would want us to vote McCain even though he vows to overturn Roe Vs. Wade. If you don't see why she's saying it's okay, sorry, but it's not worth explaining to you.
10:55 - Did you hear that? "Create a world-class education system." Hillary's telling me to do stuff. Weird stuff that I'm kind of embarrassed to type into the liveblog.
10:56 - "Were you in it just for me?" Of course I was. And it's paid off tenfold for my own life. Chris Matthews wants to talk to me now. That never happened before I handed over my soul to you Hillary.
10:57 - what? Are you sure, Hillary?
10:58 - Really?
11:00 - Hillary has just blinked her eyes in a way that told me there's something I have to do. I can't believe she wants me to do this, but I can't presume to know what part I play in her plan. I'll be back to the blog in a couple minutes everyone.
11:03 - Okay, I just held my thumb over Portia's neck vent and smothered my beautiful kitty until she died. She didn't struggle, she just went still. She's at peace now, which is probably what Hillary wanted. Perhaps Hillary knew I would be able to better serve the struggle to elect John McCain without so many visits to the feline oncologist. I love and miss you Portia, but it is as Hillary decreed.
11:05 - Not sure what she's talking about now. Something about how we need to elect Obama because he will heal the economy. It's an obvious endorsement of McCain, to anyone with ears at least.
11:06 - Portia's eyes are still open. Let me just flip her over so she's facing away from me.
11:07 - And that's it. A grand slam home run. Tomorrow, PUMAs, we go door to door and start purring for the Maverick. Hillary laid the groundwork, let's build the city. McCain 08. RIP Portia! Love U Hill! Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Doris, you really should see someone about this hangup you have for Hillary, it is not natural or normal.
She is NOT a true democrat, she was a republican before she was a democrat, so "true democrat" is a lie just.
PUMA's my @ss.........sounds like just a bunch of man hating, women loving wannabees that have no life..........

And the world goes on!

I find the term PUMA offensive. It's a four letter word as offensive as the N word or any other derogatory ethnic slur. If you use it, you must be a republican shill posing as someone who cares about Hillary. interesting that the whole PUMA movement and Biden's selection is so convenient for Republicans.
