11:04 PM Cut to Times Square, 5 people clapping. I love New York.
11:02 PM Huffington Post retweet: John McCain “reluctantly” talks about his POW experience…for eight paragraphs.
10:51 PM I do believe John McCain is a good man, and that he loves his country, and as Republicans go I’ve always liked him. But this speech shows just how devoid he is of ideas to help this nation.
10:51 PM I’m not kidding, I swear I just saw Joe Lieberman peeking out from McCain’s fly.
10:49 PM Only a rack of Red Bull will get me through the rest of this speech.
10:40 PM From a pure speech perspective, McCain can’t wear Sarah Palin’s jock strap.
10:37 PM My sources on the floor tell me that anyone that utters the name “Bush” tonight will be tasered and drugged until morning.
10:26 PM McCain waited for applause that didn’t come…
10:22 PM McCain’s mum might be the 8th wonder of the world.
9:56 PM BREAKING NEWS: Cindy McCain loves her husband John and recommends him for President of the United States.
9:41 PM CINDY McCAIN: Lincoln huh? Abe would have loved Westmoreland’s little “uppity” nugget on The Hill today. I’m sure he would be proud of the what you’ve done with his party.
9:19 PM HUFFINGTON POST: In a Thursday morning conference call for reporters organized by the Democratic National Committee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius pushed back against the idea that Republicans have cornered the market on small-town American values.
“I live in the American heartland, and have been a governor [here] for six years,” she said. “I don’t know any mayor in any small town in Kansas — and we have a lot of mayors of small towns — who hires a lobbyist and goes after earmarks the way Sarah Palin did.” On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that, as mayor of Wasilla, Palin secured more than $27 million in federal earmarks for a town with only 6,700 residents.
Just one of the many lies this week that will be rejected over the next few days. Probably longer because there’s a boatload of GOP bullshit to refute.
9:17 PM Short, two minute video on Sarah Palin’s career probably summed up all of her “extensive” political accomplishments, no matter how many were fabricated or distorted.
9:07 PM Lindsay Graham looks like that kid in school you just couldn’t help but slap around. He still looks like he could use a couple.
8:42 PM You knew it was going to happen, 9/11 video just shown. Placards with “PEACE” should be replaced with “FEAR.” Pathetic.
8:32 PM GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN WESTMORELAND: “Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mister Obama, Senator Obama, they’re a member of an elitist class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” Westmoreland said.
When a reporter sought clarification on the racially loaded word, Westmoreland replied, “Uppity, yeah.”
We’re the GOP, and we approved this message.
8:10 PM Floor delegation reporting from CNN seems strangely challenging tonight, almost as if they’ve had enough of 4 nights of hypocrisy. I expect the next interview to start with “Hey dumbass, explain this…”
8:08 PM Props to the old bitty who just used the word “duende” in a sentence on CNN. Of course if Obama had used that word Rudy Giuliani would have had a fucking field day with it.
7:58 PM Archbishop Demetrios who gave the invocation tonight was detained upon leaving the convention and sent to Guantanamo. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
7:55 PM The problem with Harry Reid describing Sarah Palin as “shrill” last night is that he left himself no room for improvement in describing Marsha Blackburn.
5:06 PM CNN: Iowa, which was a toss-up just yesterday is now solidly in the Obama column by 15 percentage points. So much for that “Hockey Mom” bounce huh?
5:05 PM CNN: Rush Limbaugh loves Sarah Palin. If you are a Republican wishing for Democratic crossover votes you might want to tell your conservative whackjobs to shut their cakeholes.
4:47 PM Vanity Fair estimates Cindy McCain’s “Connie Conehead” dress and ensemble from Monday night.
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100
Yup, the GOP. That’s your party of the common man…and woman.
