  1. The homemade signs give it the "grassroots" feel that the slick, obviously out of touch D's lack.

  2. I think that the "homemade" signs are part of the whole, "we're just like you" schtick.

  3. Mike3550 doesn't know it yet, but for Halloween, as punishment for posting "first," he'll be McCain and I'll be Palin. I am watching the RNC tonight because I need to do my mannerism/tone/vocab research.

  4. Does the Texas delegation get their cute matching outfits cleaned every night, or are they stewing in two-day old flop sweat?

    No...wait, they're Republicans. Matching outfits for each night.

  6. What we learned about Palin:

    Alaskan, plays basketball, beauty queen, fertile.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Mike's not mean enough to pull of McCain, and I hear he was never a POW. You can't fake that kind of experience.

    ReplyDelete
  8. She's telling the batshit "flew 8 hours after going into labor a month early" story as a positive.

    We are through the looking glass people.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  11. Begala: Mittens = poor quality ground beef. Said he "embarrassed himself."

    ReplyDelete
  12. RNC scheduling conversation:

    "Does anyone really know Palin?"

    "Uh, well Hawaii is also not part of the continental U.S."

    "Bingo! I think there is a female Republican there."

    "Great, let's have her speak."

  13. You could drill for oil in that backdrop.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Why are the conventioneers dressed like they're going to church?

    Oh... wait.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Governor ≠ President
    Mayor of Maui ≠ President
    Mayor of Wasawhat ≠ President

    ReplyDelete
  16. They really need to stop pointing out that Palin has more executive experience than Obama, Biden... or McCain.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Carl Bernstein: You don't pick Sarah Palin unless you know you're outside the margin or error for victory.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh, your guys are watching your non-CSPAN, so you are missing a very yeoman-like speech from the Governor of Hawaii.

    Right now she is going into how Obama and Biden have "zero" executive experience. The crowd seems to be chanting "zero."

    McCain has this same experience, yes?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Obama has never managed a multi-million dollar budget? Have they looked at his campaign budget?

    ReplyDelete
  20. And the CEO-presidency has worked out so well this last 8 years, no?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  22. CPS: "You could drill for oil in that backdrop."

    Tee hee! Let's do it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Awww, Bristol, Trig and Cindy.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The Governor of Hawaii is making fun of small states. Damn.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow, I think that was just a "whipping the genitalia out" contest between AK and DE.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Nothing riding on Palin's shoulders here.

    ReplyDelete
  29. At least we'll get Giuliani soon...if nothing else, he'll be entertaining. The man has never been short of entertainment.

    ReplyDelete
  30. How many times repeating "Washington is Broken" do you think it's going to take to make people forget that the GOP has been running Washington?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Are there even four people in that hall that think Palin is going to reform Washington?

    Or that McCain picked her because he's putting the country first?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Um... yes. That's what's fucking scary.

    ReplyDelete
  33. "We've struck oil with Sarah" was on one of the homemade signs. That don't even make sense.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Place your bets on how many times you hear "9/11" uttered.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Shouldn't the campaign have felt "shorter" to Rudy?

    ReplyDelete
  40. i demand that hollywood celebrities decide the next election!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Backtrack to Dave3544:
    Using "Alaska = near Russia therefore Palin = foreign policy genius" argument to explain this cognitive problem:

    -McCain has a female vpc therefore McCain = total believer in women's abilities to do everything.

    -McCain = older, therefore he was in the "country first."

    Hope this logic serves us well through November.

  42. did the left-wing media elect W?

    ReplyDelete
  43. If you are Rudi Giuliani, you hire the person who has done you the most favors recently -- then you hire that person. Regardless of their criminal record.

    ReplyDelete
  44. How come I only get to know job history? How come I can't know about what the candidates believe? What what they say they would do on the job?

    Fuck it, I'd hire the POW. Without him, I wouldn't have a freaking desk.

    ReplyDelete
  45. You'd think they'd stop mentioning "torture."

    ReplyDelete
  46. I thought he'd earned the right to plug every whore that would take a fin.

  72. A guy in the audience just yelled "Oil!" at the top of his lungs.

    Anyone else get the feeling that these people are drunk?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  83. Um, is he running for something or setting up Palin?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Actually, that was a pretty good bit about the SecCo.

    ReplyDelete

  91. Jason,

    I don't think Obama ever said anything about the UN Security Council, just as he never said anything about Palin's hometwon not being cosmo enough.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Hey everybody, looks like I'm late to the party. I haven't had time to read all of the comments, so I'm not sure if y'all have heard: John McCain was a P.O.W.!
