I am listening to the Cindy Lou story growing up in Arizona. Gawd, it is tepid.

Cindy Video: a handsome captain introduced himself “Hey! My wife is crippled and I need a new one!”

single malt ready!

oh god LOL funny you are!

Now founding the non-profit medical project, no mention of drug abuse.

No mention of Cindy’s ouster for pilfering drugs…?

if you’d have taken a sip every time someone mispronounces palin’s name…well, you’d be on your way to the hospital.

gee, they left out a few things about her dad, like he was married when he met her mom, felony conviction, oh, it’d take all night…..unreal.

The glowing portrait of Cindy Lou’s family of origin failed to mention the half-sister who she doesn’t want to talk about.

I owe ya a beverage…!

I think I’m in sugar shock from that video.

sweet little cindy lou

they made her sound like princess diana. and showed clips where they had the same haircut…..

roflmao!

To be fair, her plastic surgeon is clearly a genius. And unlike McCain she really has done some good in the world.

“All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people.”

from film My Man Godfrey

The reasons John and I are so happy, “sure not because he won’t stop staring at Palin’s ass. Thank God I have the kids.”

Cindy doesn’t go much for subtle color does she? Money can’t buy you…

Some pills are to hard to swallow. Especially by the handfuls.

“In these times when so many of our fellow Americans are in trouble” you should vote for my husband, who thinks the government should do nothing to help them.

Can you beleive her?! Get the Feds out of our way! Still pissed about the Keating 5 I guess.

Let’s have a McCain-staring-at-Sarah’s-ass Watch when Palin joins McCain on stage after his speech

the children from the first marriage have been located! first visual proof they exist. assuming they’re the real kids and not stock footage.

“What will our children say of us?”

Umm, thanks for the debt and for destroying the environment?

Heh, this CindyLou production is sticking in my craw… Cloying is an understatement…! ;-)

Lincoln just rolled over! He preserved the Union. Palin wants seccession.

BREAKING NEWS: John McCain is a Family Guy

WATCH OUT Cindi McCain, Sarah Palin wants to put your corporate jet on e-bay when you’re not looking!

“The unconditional love ever family dreams of…”

yeah, when a husband calls his wife a c*nt, I sure think “boy, what a loving hubby”

Heh, this Desilu CindyLou production is sticking in my craw… Cloying is an understatement…! ;-)

Is that the first or second family?

best father and confidant? like when she confided she needed help, NOT? that confidant?

showers us with unconditional love and support that every family dreams of.

oh my.

That’s a pretty color blue for a platinum blonde

bet she isn’t so sweet in the boardroom, or the other b room either. they’ve really worked on her makeup to soften her look from the alien thing. Got a lot of farrah fawcette goin tonight eh?

Yes she has done some good, and single handedly keeping the families fed for those brave, young pharmacological workers in the deladen plants…sniff…it’s beautiful, man…sniff.

For those of us who don’t drink, is there a pool for the number of “My friends…”?

I’m down for forty.

Hey, somebody give a shout when McCrazy actually hits the stage? I didn’t sign up to watch the undercard….

J’all see this blast from the past, only too creepy foreshadowing.
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/…..-fey-life/

“pistol packing mother f…..”

“How about that Palin”. Jeez, when you’re the candidate’s spouse, you have to swallow hard and say what’s on the teleprompter, I guess.

BREAKING NEWS: John McCain served in the military

pistol packing mother of 5 for VP. Hmmm, if Palin gets elected she is more likely to do more than wound her hunting partners.

Hero in Vietnam! Everyone drink!

Wow, the commenting is dreadful tonite… three database errors and 2 duplicate comments within the last 10 minutes… *sigh* Maybe we should restart our feeding program of the en ess aa…!

pour me another one will ya

Never claimed to have done more than his small service, just like John. Puke.

A reverse drinking game. No one drinks if the word ‘torture’ is uttered. Did you read Andrew Sullivan? He said that McCain’s ordeal was described graphically without once using the T word. To do so would open up the charge that Bush/Cheney/et.al. are war criminals.

Couple football games on. PIP is the bomb

Her father was quiet about his being shot down and receiving a medal – Just Like her dear husband!

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy… . You don’t know how to do public speaking. Her delivery is really bad.

Irrelevant comment: lived in Dhaka Bangladesh for a while.

here
*sliding it down the counter*

WARNING: DO NOT look directly into the eyes of Cindy McCain. We do not want any firepups to turn into stone!

Her heart isn’t in it, except when she talks about the volunteer work. Her “McCain is wonderful” stuff comes across flat.

What’s with these women who think it is their crowning achievement to pop out as many children as physically possible, raise them, and proudly send them off to war to be killed and maimed?

the Official RNC Negro just stood up…

ssssreally nice a ya.

oooh, introducing someone who doesn’t want retributon, but wants to just move on. Like we should with the republicans?

Looking at cindy act, I get the feeling she’s the one who wants this presidency more than anybody else. John is just standing there, hoping not to go mediaval on someone’s ass, while he’s looking at Sarah’s…

Wonkette is skewering Cindy:

John McCain was a prisoner of war once, which automatically qualified him for every job ever invented, including haberdasher, whale scientist, and sex toy engineer. Let’s see how many people in this biographical film say, “That’s offensive!” when they are asked an actual question about John McCain.

8:36 PM CST — Cindy introduces all seven million McCain children, minus Barack Obama’s Kenyan half-brother. Why so heartless?

…

8:48 PM — “My father was a true Western gentleman, and that’s why I married a short creep from Virginia who likes to tell rape jokes.”

come on, Cindy–say John is a Maverick™!

i’d give a lot for a voice-a-meter right now.

Hockey mum = she owns a hockey team.

Actually, I (unfortunately) thought she did very well.

O Dear, I lied. Im watching. I really needed to see what Cindy was wearing. But she didn’t comb her hair.

Wow. I feel genteel now.

Did no one else think that Lindsay Graham was toasted during his speech tonite?! My husband and I were cracking up, he either had a shot or two before walking on stage or popped something. Having watched more Lindsay speeches on CSPAN than I care to admit, I can say he was clearly on something. And got almost a little teary too, when reminiscing about his trip to Iraq with Mavericky McMacho….

That was bad. She must really want to be First Beer Distributor.

Only people in that crowd who can dance are the children. Hips people, hips. Swing them.

What’s with these women who think it is their crowning achievement to pop out as many children as physically possible,

has something to do with a clown car – you’ll have to ask Mary McCurnin.

A friend’s e-mail:

check her earmarks earrings

Okay, I’ve got my bowl of ice cream and I’m ready to be inspired by McTheusulah.

re McCain: halo should not be a shield.

Too bad they don’t make Pez dispensers anymore. I think a Cindy McCain Pez dispenser would be a great item- springs, molded plastic, pop-up candy, etc.

that palin family is lookin nighty pale tonight. like deathly pale. the preggers one looks really miserable. nice to see some of the white folks tryin to get down without any colored folk to show em how it’s done that they can imitate..

I would recommend you read their live blog later when you have some time but be warn – it is hard to read when you are laughing so hard. I could barely get through it last night.

are Conservative Western Women a new special interest group that we need to beware of?

Hips people, hips. Swing them.

I’m missing the “Dancing Debacles”?

ok – switching channel now.

they keep playinjg the same music…

and they played ’right now’ earlier, which van halen had already said they didn’t give permission..

lost count tonight of the songs they ripped tonight, first two days they were careful, played generic songs and dead people….hope the artists they ripped tongiht that they all protest/denounce it tomorrow.

funniest one–heart’s ’barracuda’ for pile-on pale-in for her high school nickname….guess they didn’t know the barracuda in the song isn’t a compliment…duh.

squirrels too squirrely on fdl tonight, page only refreshes when i comment….not in the mood to comment that much….

take care
have fun.
bbl.

Slidin’ in for the eve on the wings of POW and REFORM….

Did PW mention last threat the unctuous pompous David Gregory’s crapola commentating about Teddy Kennedy? Sounded like CJ put the hex on him in today’s Strib. You go, CJ!

“white folks tryin to get down”

oh no, something else we need to be afraid of

snice , scotch is.

POW! First words of the film!

Hey, Ian…..I’ll put my own self up against almost any plastic surgery case as one without ever having had any surgery. This woman is one year younger than me and looks ten years older. Granted, I haven’t been willing to go through this kind of scrutiny.

“mams’s boy” … and that’s ALL they’re gonna let HER say tonight

BREAKING NEWS: John McCain was a POW

“Some call him a warrior, a soldier, a naval aviator, a POW”

Drink!

Truly John McCain is a mama’s boy?! How am I supposed to parody this?

“Momma’s boy”

That’s what they are going with?

4 Stars Grandfather and Father!

all military all the time

Puke!

hmmmm, careful, normal response to such is “pic or it didn’t happen!” :)

Seriously, though, the best thing for good looks is being happy. Cindy is clearly not a happy woman.

“John McCain’s life was somehow spared…perhaps he had more to do”

OK, God wants John McCain to be President. We might as well surrender.

I think this video is worth a good 5 or 6 sips.

That’s for Lindsay Graham and Ric Keller.

POW. Okay, what else?

**tortured**

McCain was **tortured**??

But, doesn’t that mean Bush is a war criminal?

“could have produced a bitter, broken man”

well, yes…

anybody hear the thing on npr today about how the vietnamese support mccain’s presidency cayse they think he remember their kindness when he’s president?

HONEY, BRING ANOTHER BOTTLE IN HERE

John wanted to keep fighting in Viet Nam. We should have let him.

So he was always pro-life now? And didn’t like pork barrel spending? And didn’t he vote against Bush’s tax cuts to begin with?

We have always been at war with Eurasia.

But neither Candidate Ike or JFK or 41, Bush, talked about it all the time, showed feature film war movies of his war experience. When did this become the norm?

Yeah, little Johnny was a big disappointment. Didn’t rise nearly as high; the Navy could tell he was a loser.

So what did happen to the first Mrs. John McCain? Think we’ll be told in such glowing overtones?

HALP- can someone tell me what the music is in the video- I mean of most of it? Aaron Copeland? Driving me crazy!

“He… will… renew… our… country”. Holy shit, she sounds like someone has a gun at her head “read this!”

Voice of God by Fred Thompson!

McCain taunted his captors after he signed the confession. He was angry with himself for having signed it so he wanted more pain inflicted on him by his captors. The guy has been an assh*le his entire life.

I should also include Jimmy Carter, Ross Perot together with his running mate.

I hope McCain gets confused on stage tonight with all the bright lights and party dresses and thinks he’s at Tailhook and starts chasing women around the hall. Gonna gitcha.

GodFred Thompson gives the intro…

Double Puke!!

also time for a fresh cocktail napkin & glass.

What’s your beverage choice?

this all appeals to the american proclivity for sentimentalism over sensibility. i just can’t believe this is gonna fly with americans who’ve been listening to W’s version of the same crap for 8 years.

ever notice mccain’s invariable body language of raised, hunched shoulders, always in self protective mode? from what i wonder.?

Weird, sounded like the Dallas Theme…

Sounded a fair amount like the Western Suite. But everything sounds strange in the Excito Center, ’specially when it’s filled with pork.

He cursed them and jeered at them and they beat him silly. He had no health insurance then.

Anyone have goosebumps? /snark

c’mon–say it

“MY FRIENDS”

gonna give this barkeep a nice tip. soon as i can find my wallet

Bingo!!! You win the Rethug PEZ prize. Met Nancy Reagan up close and personal in 1983 at a benefit. We stood there talking for awhile and all I could think of the entire time was “Pez head, Pez head”.

Still can’t look at one of those dispensers without remembering that night. No amount of plastic surgery, great clothes can overcome that kind of disproportion/weirdness in a body type. It may look OK on a small screen but in person, yuck!

Made me wonder what else in their lives was “akilter”.

Cindy and Palin know their jobs: smile!

Lime Green!

Green background! Will they never learn?

OMFG- Aaron Copeland Fanfare for the Common Man. Just figured it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiB8B4XsBRk

ewwww He’s doing the lime jello!

Dear lord in heaven. He’s up.

YES JR Ewing here and why there’s Miss Ellie in the blue!

Oooh! Protest sign!!
You can’t win an occupation.

Shit. Jello green once again!

I see they have decided to go with the green background agin. The first time I thought it was an unfortunate choice, but now I see it John’s color…

McCain can not raise his shoulders. Injuries and arthritis. He can push a button though. Arrrgh!

Um, why continue with the puke green screen?

Hard fight, but I wupped their asses. Ahahaha!

Cripes, you people are STRONG!!! It just came on here…watched 5 minutes of McCain’s bio.
I couldn’t take the absolute crap. Some old fart was reading from McAntichrist’s book.
How do you do this without massive amounts of pharm pills? Alcohol just isn’t doing it for me.
As Cindy would say, “Please, something for the PAIN!!!”.
Going back to lurking…

I see a Lime Jello Cottage Cheese Salad!

9/11!!

put a little ice in this one will ya?

What’s that in the background? One of their homes?

9/11…someone there with a protest sign…about vets & occupation

pseudogracious

not to worry kittykitty, I got it covered (if ya know what I mean)

what a gift!

Does he really want to be kissing up to Bush this much? Oh well, base, base, base!

USA!

911!

Bush!

Laura Bush!

My opponents for this nomination (who must go unnamed so as not to mention Ron Paul).

41 & his (*spit*) bride

Drinking game rules:

“My friends” = 1 sip
“Democrat party” = shot
“Islamo fascism” = shot with worm

green is all Rove — implication? we drill green! clean!

Isn’t there a fine female ass for McCain to ponder on the stage. For Inspiration.

“Cindy said a lot of nice things about me tonight, but” in truth without her money, I’d be nothing. Plus she cares about people, and I don’t.

POW!

Freaking slow learners, barf green. And Cindy Lou in bright sea mermaid blue. Money can’t buy you taste.

Violating all the rules in attempt to get drunk enuf not to hear the speech.

So glad you all are watching so I don’t have to. I’m watching the new Gong Show instead. Much more intellectually stimulating.

they screwed up, when the camera pans back it is picture but when it is only McCain he is so damn short he is in the green again.

McCain “my mother is 96 years young. Honest, I won’t die in office!”

Platitudes, platitudes. I am mighty sick of Republican platitudes.

Is this his new teleprompter skill?

the inappropriate smiles are killing me

Just logging in . . . has anyone else lost their RSS feed? Last post I got was 3:00 one.

he looks like a five year old lookin for approval after sayin his lines right, just like W does when he manages a 3 or 4 syllable word

Fabulous catch. I missed the implication.

Talking non-partisan, bets on how long before he starts attacking?

He called Obama an America.

That’ll confuse the base.

because we are gonna rig the Diebolds!

Audience finally really cheers. “We’re going to win this election!”

No more Uma Thurman movies for me.

There it is–MY FRIENDS

and the crowd goes hysterical

Charlie on the MTA hit on something that never quite clicked with me before:

You know, the GOP acts like 9/11 was the best day in their lives. This little video is downright pornographic. Fear: Then Vote.

9/11 was the best day in their lives. I truly think he’s on to something.

How utterly depraved and scary is that?!?!?!

WHO IS THAT BRAVE SOUL!?

Code Pink!!!

Stop cheering! I want to talk!

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

All they got going.

it’s been totally f*cked up for at least a week now. You’re not alone.

Whoo hoo! Interrupted!

No. 8, I think

What’s with these fake demonstrators who get carted out during his and Sarah’s speeches?

What’s a “My DEAR, Friends worth?

And “McCain votes against Vets”

good on ‘em!

I guess every time they break out into USA that means there’s a protester. good!

I saw elephant and donkey Pez dispensers the other day (oh yes …). And my supermarket had superhero versions at the checkstands.

the only thing that’s warmed my heart is that brave protester. wuz it uh terrist?

Didn’t I hear that in a movie somewhere?

Pay no attention to the static. The lunatic is in the grass.

Let’s see what lies he tells for Palin.

Palin is either Annie Oakley or Judge Roy Bean…amazing that those Republican Presidential candidates in those days didn’t think of this gambit!

Freaking good point. Makes you wonder…

Sarah’s “worked with her hands and nose.” LOL

“We’re going to shake up Washington D.C.” – the same thing that LIE-berman, Palin, Giulliani and the rest have been saying in their speeches. “taking on the special interests.”

They just can’t get away from bashing ‘the government’ that they’ve had control of for so long. – How successful can a party be when it has to run against itself. ‘Cause everybody HAS to know by now that the Republicans ARE the special interests.

diamond ring on bristol’s hand. according to a post earlier today, they’re already married.

Lying about Sarah…who will get out the facts. Hands and nose, she’s worked with….UhO

Talking up Palin: feisty everymum maverick!

I don’t know, but it’s working. It seems to calm him down, like a mental queue or something….hmmmm, kinda like in Manchurian Candidate.

I’m almost out of Phenergan. One more of his creepy smiles and I’m going to need to get a basin…

the oddest thing I saw was an e-mail from the Vermont Teddy Bear company with Obama and McShame bears. Obama’s was DARK brown and McCain’s was white white. I don’t think they realize how utterly racist it looked at first glance. Embarrassing.

Agents demonstrateur?

As evidenced by Dubya’s repeated remark about ‘hitting the trifecta.’

He is going to Washington to change — himself?

Looked like tongue speaking folks who thought they were in church.

Trying to grab the change mantle. “Honest, I’m going to change Washington”!

what about her tongue?

McShame trashing Washington base….that might get him some backlash.

There it is–Maverick™!!!

roomful of nazis, proud aryans is what they are. blonds galore, suits abound, all skirts below the knee. lots of bad legs i guess.

gimmie that bottle.

“Maverick”

*Thud*

sry alyall
*hic*

This is hard to liveblog. He’s creepy, but gawd, he’s boring.

Is McClame lame or what.

Listening to McStain you would think that a Democrat was in office for the past eight years.

How did I forget “maverick” now that Caribou Barbie is also a “maverick”?
That one gave me this morning’s hangover

What if the big-spending pork barrel earmark bill on your desk is for ALASKA, flyboy?

McCain: “I fought corruption” cause I know more about it than anyone. Learned at Keating’s knee…

Change—his Depends.

Teddy@173

Either they’re fake demonstrators planted by RNC.

Or the McCain people are so incompetent they can’t secure their own convention–how will they protect America?

And introduce Sarah to Washington. Should that be necessary?

NOW I’m starting to feel sorry for McCane. They have thrown him out as bait. The win for the republicans is to introduce Palin.

when in doubt point to the babe. That’s going to be his technique from here on out.

I got sumthin betr

Is that tiers of empty seats I see?

Very stilted delivery. Boring.

Playing the Petraeus/Surge card. Next up, Obama was wrong!

He sucks. Blah. Old. And Boring.

I’ll take door #1, please…

Stupid crowd is stepping on his lines.

Dad’s a better predictor.
Died in his early 70s IIRC.

USA USA USA USA

zeig heil zeig heil zeig heil

Why are they hooting for these stories of disadvantaged people???

bingo.

McCain: I fight for ordinary people, that’s why I’m going to raise taxes on them. And that autistic kid matters to me, but I won’t give him healthcare!

Poor McCain. Trying to act as if he cares about anyone but himself.

I think its table areas set up for the press. Set up really stupidly because it’s so closeto the stage and looks like empty seats. I’m pretty sure there are people up there with laptops on the tables.

The crowd is pretty bored…..and watched over by lots of watchers to keep everyone in line. The convention of Whitey. Scary.

I guess the “parade of homes” is over

American flag background now.

I wanted to see all the others.

Shucks!

Good point!

Think about the difference between this nonsense and Obama’s speech!!!

yeah, the whole things been an embarassingly empty convention.

“When some Republicans gave in to the temptations of corruption…” SOME???

What??? Roosevelt was a repub. I didn’t know that.

Well… I didn’t know they were still made! I haven’t seen any such Pez dispensers here (South), but as a friend of mine likes to say (or used to like to say), California is the cutting edge of Western Civilization! sounds like I’m snarking, but I’m not- I am CAian born and bred.

Dog! Give me strength!..and shum mur single malt plis.

Is he really dissing oil company subsidies when he refused to go for the gang of 10 compromise because it cut them?

all god’s chillen love scotch

Dumb indeed, because it really does look like he gave a party and nobody cared enough to show up.

TR, not FDR.

Freaking good point. Makes you wonder…

It should.

Extolling the Americans, like the Latina daughter of immigrants………I don’t see many Latinos in the crowd, and blacks tnough to be counted on two people’s fingers and toes. Hey, Ma, I’m going to the convention, you’ll for sure see me on the TV.

I want to know who Colbert bribed to get those green and blue screens behind McSame.

ssssgood idn it?

oooh — more choice for myself!

Like, you know, CHOICE?

Communities but no community organizers!

My first thought is: Did McCain speechwriters think that they were writing a State of the Union address?

This is the most disjointed – non-flowing speech, I have heard in a long time – it’s just a bunch of talking points strung together, with no substance whatsoever.

Doesn’t the big blue background just make him look small?

“I will keep taxes low and cut them where I can”
translation: I will reduce tax cuts on the rich, increase taxes on the middle class.

I have never understood the Legislate from the Bench horror. All I know is that no one is for it; so no one does it. How stupid.

Now he lies about taxes. No wonder he’s pissed off at the media.

“A bureacurat stands between you and your doctor!”

a) lie
b) and? Better than an insurance company not approving your care.

I’m glad you mentioned Johnny Jet’s destruction of five aircraft. Quite a feat but there is another repug with that honor. Good old Robert K Dornan the ’80s firebrand representative from Orange County who also trashed five aircraft for Uncle Sam. Just a little flash from the past for my fellow Southern Californians.

when are these freaking assholes gonna realize a tax CUT only works if you make enough to pay any tax??

“Scuse me, but a low life administrator of an overly rich and punitive insurance company NOW stands between me and my doctor. Grow up!

he is UZIng sincerity

That humming sound you hear in the background is Teddy Roosevelt spinning in his grave as the folks who are struggling to gut his National Park system drape themselves in his name and legacy.

I’m not a tax accountant, but where does paying down the 10 trillion dollar debt fit into that little fairy tale?

“We’re going to help workers who’ve lost jobs find a new one that won’t go away”.

McDonalds always need burger flippers, I hear.

He’s not doing well. I was really worried that he’d learn to give a speech. But, no, he’s really bad at this.

Yep – it’s Bush’s SOTU from 2 years ago – job training in community colleges

this is so boring. if it weren’t for my fellow drinkers, i’d have passed out awhile back

McLame doesn’t know where his applause lines are

Or have any fun. I did not know he is this bad.

Can we please have a show of hand of everyone here who has health care coverage? Yep, so let’s keep the “bureaucrats out.”

Doesn’t this guy sound like the Junior College teacher everyone ditched? What could possibly be more boring>?

Doesn’t matter how it reads, it’s connection. Ain’t possible.

I have nothing to say about this speech. The Nooner was right: it’s over.

School vouchers! Wheeeee. It’s 1990!

Competition in schools= vouchers = every study has found they aren’t better than public schools.

Choice, eh…

He milked the last one for months. This one . . . could go on forever. So much material. So little time.

did he just say help teachers find another line of work???!

Obama’s speech got an 8 point bounce. Palin’s speech raised $10 million for Obama. I think McCain’s speech will cost him 3 or 4 points in the polls.

Much rather have a bureaucrat than the insurance functionary who always, always, always tells my doctor’s office NO.

School choice, errrr home schooling – yay!

This is sooooo bleak. They gotta be thinking about flippin the ticket and putting the Caribou Barbie on top.

OK, maybe I’m being sexist (!) but I find Caribou Barbie’s outfit to be totally inappropriate…not the color or the fabric, but the deeply plunging neckline. Makes me wonder what she’s really auditioning for.

Sorry to be so petty, but he’s so boring I can’t control myself. Also, as a woman in the workplace who’s only a few years older than she is, any “normal” woman would get dissed big time in any real business situation (not Fashion Week, of course)…

Yesh indeed. Just hope my liver lives til November! Cheers!

stumbling over his lines

Heh. I find it appropriate to have “the blue screen of death” behind him!

Oh, my freeking gawd, he’s going to help all those laid off find low-paying jobs. That’s a winner for sure.

B-1 Bob!

Why is McCrazy giving the opposite of Mrs. Palin’s speech?

After she shit on more than half the country last night, John’s now The Conciliator?

This sounds exactly like GHWB’s acceptance speech in 1988.

Waiting for “no new taxes”

New jobs for the 21st century – Auto body and picnic benches

Actually he’s right. A bureaucrat, and a lawmaker, and a judge stands between a pregnant woman and her doctor—and they want to keep it that way.

drill now! drill! drill! drill! More nukes! Clean Coal! Everything else too!

or maybe it’s the Repugbots who don’t know where his applause lines are

and no one should be pres who can’t pronounce IN-A-LI-EN-A_-BLE

is it me or is there a preponderance of blondes in this audience.

no sch thing as clean coal, asshole

and your party killed the electric car.

And he means it, god dammit.

Doesn’t matter who told him to say it.

DRILL!

WTF kind of a campaign motto is “Drill Here, Drill Now”?

They cheer over the most inappropriate things, don’t they? Offshore drilling….standing fucking ovation.

the deeply plunging neckline.

Gee, I missed that. *g*

Other than drilling more, I don’t really see any difference in McCain’s energy policy or Obama’s.

I’m just hoping the National Enquirer comes through on it’s promise of an affair with Snowmobile Boy’s business partner. I have to admit a prurient urge to hear some readneck dude from the Yukon drawl out, “Yep, I know where the VP to be’s G-spot is!”

agree, what does she think this is, France?

I also think she has just realized she is “engaged” to a loser; not happy.

Can’t afford much more advertising…hoping Colbert will launch new contest for blue screen so he gets free media….

The new maverickity is to support the whole litany of hyper conservative Republican planks. You see to the real way to show how you differ from Bush is to be more Bush than Bush. BTW Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Will the media and the under informed and ill informed notice.

And I should not have said Junior/Community College. I meant any professor.

crieky he’s got Georgia on his mind
How conveeeenient

OK, maybe I’m being sexist (!) but I find Caribou Barbie’s outfit to be totally inappropriate…not the color or the fabric, but the deeply plunging neckline. Makes me wonder what she’s really auditioning for.

Her family recently released a picture from her college dorm days in Idahooo…why I don’t know? But she was sitting Indian-style on her bed in short-shorts and wearing a T-Shirt that said “I may be poor…but I’m not FLAT BUSTED!” Guess she still wants everyone to know!

OT a bit,

Don’t miss Judith Warner’s piece in the NYT:

http://warner.blogs.nytimes.co…..eiling/?hp

Criticizing Russia..’invaded a country for their oil’

they’re not really listening to him, just waiting for a chance to yell. And he’s not really listening to himself, or them. He’s just reading the lines.

The bland gaze of the majority of convenors is ghastly to watch. Who are these folks? Someone get out there and help them get a life.

WTF kind of a campaign motto is “Drill Here, Drill Now”?

Who’s the Veepy candidate? Think she was smart enough to have made that a deal-breaker for accepting the nod? Lots more boodle for Alaska…

MY FRIENDS

Any reactionary guy out there likes the “Drill here drill now” theme. Just leave off the ‘e’ …..

its a mysogynistic term

McCain’t: “We’re going to drill here and we’re going to drill now”

yep, tonight all the white bread delegates aren’t going to hotels or hookers, they’re gonna go DRILL for Oil in Minnesota Tonight (NOW).

re-igniting the cold war is sure proof that McCain “hates” war

he can’t wait for a chance to drill the caribou chick

Oh, for the love of dog. Now he hates military action and wars. Gag me with the pickle fork.

“Build the foundations for stable enduring peace” (by bombing the crap out of Iran]

So good to know that McShameless ditched Habitat for Humanity event so he could tell conventioneers how truly concerned he is about “my friends.”

He’s got the same base as Dubya–the haves and the have-mores.

He seeks peace….bullshit, they’re gunning for Russia in a way that scares the hell out of me.

thread # 2 going up, please continue there. The FDL hamsters, they cannae take threads this long!

Globalization is here!

Get used to being serfs!

I know how the military werks, I know how the world works. I just can’t work a goddamn computer, you jerks!

How long has he been talking? I think the anxious look in the audience is whether he will last/make it to the end.

More liveblogging goodness in the new post upstairs.

WTF kind of a campaign motto is “Drill Here, Drill Now”?

don’t let the double entendre escape you on this one. Remember it’s the beauty queen’s mantra.

My dear friends, blah blah blah same old shit blah blah blah.

choked on that last shot of hootch

Look at that ghoulish smile.

The convenors are checking their watches……are we done yet? I know I’m checking mine. Let it be over.

Slick Willy Express II coming soon

I’m so surprised, McLame is actually making the odd true statement, like – “Dickless Cheney (oops, I mean Sarah Shooter) takes on the special interests.”

He’s right, and them Alaskan pregnant teenagers, polar bears and wolves can testify to that!

If he says ‘in conclusion’ he’s going to get more applause than Clinton did.

Why is McCrazy giving the opposite of Mrs. Palin’s speech?

After she shit on more than half the country last night, John’s now The Conciliator?/blockquote>

Good Cop…Bad Cop!

“I was a prisoner of war and you weren’t”
John McCain to Barack Obama

“I’ll ask Democrats to serve with me”

The last time I checked, Lieberman was only one Democrat. Actually, he’s no kind of Democrat.

Is he going to resurrect Zell Miller, or what?

Talk about scars: I’ve got them, Obama doesn’t How tacky.

this guy reeks of incompetence and lack of imagination. think the country is tired of that

ian has live blog#2 upstairs

Quelle horrible! :)

Also, am I the only one who thinks she looks like Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island, when Mary Ann wore glasses when she was pretending to be the Professor’s assistant? OK, my little brother was ADDICTED to that stupid show, so I’ve absorbed every show by osmosis…but that was the first thing I thought of. Oh, and speaking of those glasses–$700 according to USA Today today…I’ll bet every hockey mom has $700 glasses (she’s got 7 pairs)…but I’m an elitist…I eat arugula…sigh…

BREAKING NEWS: McCain was a POW. He said so himself! Oops, I thought he said we weren’t going to talk about that

Yo! Pups!

Come on upstairs to Liveblog Two

“I’m going to fight for my cause every day”.

Causes: Lobbyists, Big Oil, Eternal War, The Military-Industrial Complex and Lobbyists

And now we find out McCain was a POW. Well, that changes everything.

“We’re all just raising McCain” ???

What, from the dead? Jeebus he looks like a refugee from a garlic farm… John $3.16, the Undead Candidate

Have the started passing out the arm bands to the zealots at the convention?

The entire crowd looks like mummies, it’s creepy

Oh fuck, I thought I was as tough as you all so I turned the teevee back on to hear the end of his speech. My friends my arms were broken I broke under strain but my buddies said it’s cool the blahblahblah……..
And the pundits, including George Stephenimaho saying they could hear the passion flowing through his veins. Frigging excellent hearing!!!
Pump it up ho’s.
I want THAT job. I want to say bullshit in the face of overwhelming-on-air fact and get paid enough for Hookers and Blow!!!!

Well it didn’t take long. PBS bobble heads are raving about McCain’s speech. They said Palin’s speech was Pat Buchannan’s “culture war” speech but with finese.

Un festtival de platitudes…

Can we invade Vietnam for releasing him and sending him home?

Likely no one is still reading, but the exact opposite of what Doris Kearns Go. said…no passion, tired,
