can someone recap last nights RNC?

[sldavis]

My husband couldn't stomach the RNC coverage last night, so we went out to dinner and missed everything. (But we made sure to make it back for TDS) I'd like to hear what DU thought there the highlights/lowlights of the RNC. What did I miss?

1. Pataki whoring around, hoping for a 2008 run..

..a disgusting 5-10 minute RNC movie milking 9/11 for all it's worth...and a horribly boring, long speech by Bush (although he read off the teleprompter very well), that outlined nothing, took cheap shots at Kerry...that's about it.


On edit: Welcome to DU!!!

11. Terror, freedom, 9/11, terror, security, tax cuts, 9/11, terror, Iraq,

privatize Social Security, tax cuts, terror, our brave men & women in uniform, terror, Saddam Hussein, medical savings accounts, soft bigotry of low terror expectations, terror, national security, 9/11, brave firemen at Ground Zero, terror, terror.

I think that's everything.

Oh, but take these basic concepts and stretch them out to an hour and 15 minutes.
