MR. GLICKMAN GOES TO NEW YORK
Dan Glickman was spotted in a Madison Square Garden hallway Monday night, quietly exiting the convention arena just hours before his tenure as director of the Institute of Politics ended.
What was Bill Clinton’s former secretary of agriculture doing at a Grand Old Party?
“The new job requires a high degree of bipartisanship,” Glickman said happily, referring to his new position as president of the Motion Picture Association of America.
“Jack Valenti had a great, positive relationship with everybody in Congress, because the issues affecting the motion picture industry are bipartisan,” Glickman said.
He added: “You would be a fool to have this job and operate in a partisan fashion.”
No word yet on whether pirated videos of the convention will be available online.

DRESS DOWN
Fashion at the convention was more Lilly Pulitzer than Carrie Bradshaw.
Flower-printed shirts, sequin vests, cowboy hats and flag regalia were all in vogue. Flashier guests adorned themselves in colorful pachyderms, producing more than a few pink elephants.
Some state delegations chose to make their fashion statements en masse. California delegates donned shades inspired by Schwarzenegger’s alter ego the Terminator. The Texas Delegation took things one step further, setting aside their lone-star individualism by strutting around the floor each night with navy jackets, khakis and—what else?—cowboy hats.
Not all the fashion was benign—a few delegates chose to vent their anger at John Kerry by covering themselves with Band-Aids marked with purple hearts.
