Am currently refreshing multiple browsers; watching Fox News; and talking to a long-time friend (commenter sci-fi) who has been my go-to guy for political issues since the FIRST Bush administration...
Interesting choice of ads during the RNC... An Obama attack ad. Don't know how much you want to push the number of houses, Barry, given that the last two Democratic candidates for president could buy and sell John McCain... Hell, Al Gore's electric bill could pay McCain's mortgages...
Heh. Sci-fi's comment: Oh, look, it's the dorky hat parade...
Y'know, I really don't care about T. Boone Pickens' gas...
Newt Gingrich. Karl Rove. All we need is now is for Dick Cheney to shoot someone in the face...
Complete this sentence: The last time the GOP waited this long to hear a woman speak...
I'm kinda expecting/hoping to see Gingrich rip Colmes' heart out any second now...
T. Boone Pickens sounds a little like Boomhauer from King of the Hill...
It just dawned on me that I didn't even pay attention to Romney's speech. Then I realized it's because I hate him...
I want to give Alan Colmes a wedgie in the worst way...
Speaking of things I want to see, wouldn't it be cool if Sarah Palin came into the convention hall on the back of a Harley, holding an M-16 a la Sarah Connor in T2??? (ETA: Yes, I know Sarah Connor never actually rode on the back of a Harley, but it's cooler that way...)
Here's the scene I want: Intro music: "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth. Palin walks in holding a 6' length of 2X4 a la The Rock in Walking Tall...
Possible quote of the night from Sean Hannity: "Print media is dead im this country".
There's Bristol Palin. Would comment on her prodigious protuberances, except I keep hearing the '80s hair band Winger... "She's only 17..."
Nope. Comment of the night: If McCain/Palin doesn't win, at least Palin's got http://www.hotgopmilfs.com/... (Note to GOP: This is still available...)
Odd random comment of the night: Blog T-shirt. What would the MArooned T-shirt look like? I'm thinking a cartoon pick-up truck with a gun rack and me flipping the bird...
OOOOooooooooh McCain ad for Palin's experience vs. Obama's. Empty words. All I could hear was the trap range: PULL! BLAM! (insert sounds of little clay shards falling to earth)
What the hell was that? They just introduced Giuliani like Captain Lance Murdock and Truckasaurus...
Most important election in our lifetime? Hmmm. Getting Jimmy Carter the fuck outta the Oval Office was pretty damn important. Although many would prefer Jimmy, even in his advanced stages of dementia, to Barack "143 days" Obama...
"Footsoldier in the Reagan Revolution"??? I'm as wild-eyed right wing as they come, and even I admit that was forced...
YES! YES! FUCKING YES! Hit Obama on Chicago political machine; voting "Present" 130 times; Giuliani is, quite frankly, tearing Obama a new one...
And the hits keep coming!!! Never run a city/state/business/people in crisis. Hot damn Rudy is a man on fire, baby!!!
OJT! He did! He went there!!! And bringing up Biden's words against Obama... Wow... Good fucking job Rudy.
AND YER LITTLE DOG TOO! He brings in Hillary!
Wow. I'm ready to vote for Giuliani...
BWAHAHAHAAHHA! Sci-fi's wife (commenter B) comes up with another good quote: "You guys are such dorks. You're MST3King the Republican Convention!"
Sci-fi notes that even Rudy hasn't brought up ANWAR. I replied, "That's because no one wants to talk about drilling in Alaska with Bristol present...
Hmmm. Cindy McCain. Sarah Palin. We could see "Playboy: Girls of the White House" (and not chubby interns this time...)
And, yes, Rudy slams home the clinging... YES!!!
Now Rudy's NAILING the left on their misogyny! YES! Fucking finally!
Got-DAMN. I am impressed with Rudy Giuliani. Holyfuckingshit...
Governor Palin is up next. This is for all the marbles...
Palin is out. No Harley. But, she's in a skirt - take that Hillary!
She DOES look like a naughty librarian... Rowr...
The only way Sarah Palin could have better received would have been if she'd out dressed as a nurse. Oh, wait, that's just me...
"Profile in Courage" - nice way to subtly bring up Kennedy, who politically was further to the right than McCain, let alone Obama...
Children serving in the military for both McCain and Palin. McCain a POW war hero. Don't think the left will be tossing around the chickenhawk meme this time...
Tugging the heart strings. That's a dangerous ploy... Don't overplay it...
Just put my finger on Palin's accent. She sounds like the sheriff in Fargo...
Comment from Sci-fi (who is so right wing he makes me look like a flaming liberal): "We need more red meat"...
I so wanted to hear her say, "I'm going to Washington to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and right now I'm all outta bubble gum"...
Energy independence I can grok...
Key phrase missing according to from sci-fi: "I'll nuke the bastards"...
Heh. "Styrofoam columns are hauled back to some studio lot"...
Finally...
She just said the magic fucking words: "Government is too big". I think I'm in love...
And she twists the ol' "Change" knife in Barry's back. Heh... How's that Hopenchange feel?
And a slap at the Obamaseal!!!!! YES!
Did she just take a poke at Harry Reid? OUCH!
"The presidency is not a journey of personal discovery". Wow. That's gotta sting. Better put some ice on that...
NAILED on Community Organizer. Ouch...
Oh, Jimmy Carter will be pissed. She brought up Hanoi...
From B. "Obama's gonna be sore in the morning, 'cuz he's getting his ass kicked tonight!"
Interesting. I'm certain the media is going to rake her over the coals, and most likely point to the crowding booing at what she was saying as evidence they were booing her. I thought she did a decent job, not phenomenal, but passable.
I wish she had channeled Ted Nugent for a little bit, though. Tell us some of her hunting stories - like what type of rifle used, what kinda handloads she prepared, how she ate the heart out of the caribou...
That is all.

And I was trying to do the same as you while walking some members of my fantasy football league through the ESPN page.
Thanks for doing this!
I Grok McCain/Palin And quit it your making me laugh so hard I dropped my laptop.
Rudy can't bring up ANWR. McCain's against it (sigh).
An advocate for parents with special needs children.......I may fucking donate to the first politician in my life.
Er...red meat delivered.
Obama's going a be sore in the morning, cause he's getting his ass kicked tonight!!!
B :)
Ike Turner & Keyser Soze have nothing on Sarah Palin, baby.
Palin 2016!!!!
B
I give it a solid B. Good red meat, but took too long to get there. Family story was nice, but I her folksy delivery made it painfully slow (Karl Rove just said the same thing on FNC). I was waiting for God from MPtHG to chime in: "GET *ON* WITH IT."
Her jabs at Obama were bang-on perfect.
The FNC panel/analysts seem to like it (conservatives and libs), so I'm hopeful. Former Hillary toady Howard Wolfson warns: "Biden better bring his 'A' game."
Waiting on HotAir.com's analysis next...
More Sarah Palin Facts: When the media does rake her over the coals, the coals will beg for mercy.
Gott DANG, I freakin' LOVE her.
The question you will not hear at her first press conference, but should:
"Gov Palin, which cartridge do you like for hunting Moose, and why?"
Heh. I coulnd't figger that accent at first, but then mentioned to the Mrs. "isn't that the accent from the lady in Fargo"?
She's gonna be good...
Being a few years older, I was thinking more of the Stray Cats' "Sexy and 17".
