I did watch the RNC. Talk about running the gamut of emotions!
First there was the hi-LARITY of the early hours: the faux "RNC" reporters, the video pictures of Broadway (apparently the conventioneers won't walk TWO BLOCKS EITHER WAY to see the REAL marquees?), the bad-SNL "cab ride" of Ferret-Face Gillespie, and the gone-to-seed Up With People singers warbling WEST SIDE STORY in all their uber-Caucasian glory. (And as an aside, what a crappy stage -- you can see empty seats, the podium is feeble, and the crowd is reacting with all the enthusiasm of a last-place baseball team's home crowd in mid-September. Bad image to show for an incumbent President.)
Next came the 9/11 emotional pornography, complete with requisite mixing of the nothing-to-do-with 9/11 Saddam and the still-on-the-loose Osama Bin Forgotten.
Then we had John "Kill Me Now, God - Please?" McCain, oozing discomfort and bile-swallowing while giving his biggest applause and reaction line to ... Michael Moore?! Good job, John -- thanks for driving a few more moderates into FAHRENHEIT 9/11!
Finally, there was the vile and Hitlerian Rudy Giuliani, overtalking with a rabid furiosity that drew lots of hateful "BOOS" and blew to Hell the whole idea that this is a party of moderates.
The conclusion? If you like fear, hatred, and Lawrence Welk reruns, Vote Bush/Cheney.
Woo.
Can't wait until tomorrow (yeesh).
