Dick Cheney needs a Time Out! Clearly one of the best moments last night!
12-year-old Ilana Wexler was fantastic and rocked the convention last night with her comments.

She brought big laughter when she chastised Vice President Cheney for recently using ``a very bad word.''

``If I said that word, I would be put in a timeout,'' the freckle-faced redhead said in a short address. ``I think Cheney should be put in a timeout.''

Sweet!

1. This was truly one of the highlights.
Has there been any RW response to Ilana?

11. The local news spokesmodels played a clip of her this morning...
...and just roared at her comments. One of them said, chuckling, "We won't repeat that very...bad...word."

13. She was adorable!
Second best speech of the night, besides Obama.

I loved the "time out" for Cheney line.

Also liked the idea of a day set aside for no personal attacks.

Here's her site. It's taking a long time to load, since it's probably getting slammed:

Here's a Google cache of the site, in case you can't access it:
