Certainly are a bitter and defensively angry bunch, aren’t they?<\/p>\n
(Mostly, it’s just amusing as a show.\u00c2\u00a0 But Mitt’s call for holy war, and the ensuing roar was a little disturbing, I have to say.)<\/p>\n
(Did Rudy just say that “This is no time for on-the-job training”?\u00c2\u00a0 Really?)<\/p>\n
To review: kids aren’t props, until they are.<\/p>\n
(Ack.\u00c2\u00a0 Did not plan to make this a live blog.\u00c2\u00a0 Otherwise you’d be hearing all about how creepy it is that Todd Palin can’t seem to hold his own kid.)<\/p>\n
Palin, angling for the beanie baby vote.<\/p>\n
Mom’s up on stage, the 6\/7 year old is plucking the baby’s eyes out.\u00c2\u00a0 Where you at, dad?<\/p>\n
It’s easy to manage a state swimming in cash (makes you wonder why they had to keep coming to DC to ask for money, though).<\/p>\n
Does that “energy independence” come with honesty?\u00c2\u00a0 No?\u00c2\u00a0 Drill here, sell here?\u00c2\u00a0 Does that work for you?\u00c2\u00a0 No?\u00c2\u00a0 Huh.<\/p>\n
(is this really the convention that was mocking someone for being tacky?\u00c2\u00a0 have we seen these crowd shots?)<\/p>\n
Speaking of the death tax – something interesting about Sarah Palin will be the fact that she almost certainly isn’t as rich as the circles she’s just been thrust into.<\/p>\n
In Minnesota?\u00c2\u00a0 It’s called the DFL.\u00c2\u00a0 You’d know that – if, you know – you got out more.<\/p>\n
I watch this, and I try to contemplate what it must be like inside the head of the folks yelling and cheering here.\u00c2\u00a0 I think it’s a pretty fearful place.<\/p>\n
A journey of personal discovery?\u00c2\u00a0 You’re about to discover just how far out of your depth you are.<\/p>\n
The do get points for getting under my skin with this mocking of “community organizer” thing.\u00c2\u00a0 Community organizers exist, you self serving fucks, because people like you can’t be bothered to do anything for anyone but yourselves.<\/p>\n
Vote Tracy Flick ’08!!!!!!111one111!!!!<\/p>\n
Final (stolen) observation: Palin said that the difference between a hockey mom and pitbull is lipstick.\u00c2\u00a0 I say that applying lipstick to a pig still leaves you with a pig.<\/p>\n
Next.<\/p>\n
(Okay, one more.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t know who, but someone on MSNBC just observed (without irony) that Palin didn’t talk about reproductive rights, because the men took care of it already. Certainly are a bitter and defensively angry bunch, aren’t they?
