Former Virginia Governor's Comment On Science At Convention Lights Up Twitter | Threat Level from Wired.com:
It didn't ignite the crowd at the Pepsi Center in Denver Tuesday night in the same way as Hillary Clinton's speech did, but the 2008 Democratic National Convention keynote by former Virginia Governor Mark Warner lit up the micro-blogging service Twitter as its geek community celebrated a throwaway line in Warner's speech.
Warner, a former Capitol Hill staffer for senator Chris Dodd (D-Connecticut) and telecommunications entrepreneur, focused his speech on creating an environment that keeps America competitive in the global economy.
In a one-liner, he quipped: "Just think about this: In four months, we will have an administration that actually believes in science!"
