Ok so unlike a lot of my fellow Democrats, I watch Fox News and I watch the RNC because I just NEED to know what the other side is talking about. God forbid I wake up on November 5th and McCain is my President I need to know what his deal is. So I settled down in my bed bit my lip ,put my fave political commentators on speed dial and watched the RNC keynote. Below are my thoughts as I watched:
Rudolph Giuliani
First thing that crossed my mind, Rudy Giuliani was the first loser and has too many family, infedlity and cross dressing issues to be a keynote at an AA meeting much less the RNC, but these people are known for bad decision making I'm not suprised...let me keep watching.
Next, I notice that there is a hell of alot of crowd participation in the form of booing. What the hell is this?? A convention or a Duke vs Maryland Game? Get it together say something substantial rather then trying to rile up your base. They already paid to come to Minnesota, your goal is to catch the swing voters duh!!!
Ok so Giuliani's speech not too remarkable, a lot of lame jabs at my boy Obama, but he's been brushing his shoulders off for a year now..no worries.
Sarah Palin
Ok cute jacket...but the praises stop there.
So I didn't blog about this, but on the day she was announced did you peep her "let me drop the kids off at school" hairstyle? Get it together.
Well my good friend Aria pointed out that the Topsy Tail phenomenom just reached Alaska because Sarah was definetly rocking one.Ok but we must not judge people based on poor hair choices time to listen....
My fault let me check the TV Guide is this the Palin family reunion or the RNC? If her 3rd cousin doesn't sit the hell down and stop waving at me. If you don't want us talking about your family don't spend 15 minutes talking about them. A quick intro would be sufficient..NEXT
Ok so things that are going over my head...motherhood, hockey moms, ANYTHING having to do with a small town, pretty much anything having to do with the state of Alaska. Is she serious? What does she think she is accomplishing? Mind you I am sooo bored.
After 30 minutes of telling herself why she should be standing up on this stage (you're already the nominee idiot), she finally gets to her point. And the point is she is a comedian. Well who knew???
Let's take a moment to assess what Palin has to lose here. Ok moment done..NOTHING. Palin can and will lose this election and go back to being the governor of one of the least populated states in our country. She will have gained a little fame and have stories to tell her grandchild (the one on the way). So it makes perfect sense for McCain to put her up there to say everything that none of them has the balls to say. She got to make the most ridiculous claims ever under the shield of being a "strong women".
Well Ms. Palin you not only stepped off the porch but you lifted up your leg and pissed so please know that you are now fair game.
Anyways I digress....so during her stand up comedy routine Palin carefully uses the words "they" and "my opponent" when addressing issues such as motherhood and her experience. Well us college educated Democrats are no strangers to the art of ambiguity and semantics. We are not idiots. Obama, Biden nor the campiagn said ANY of that stuff. The media did, so don't try to act like Obama and company came for you as a women or a mother.
Ok so now that I am having my intelligence insulted Sarah delivers the coup de grace when she says, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities."
APPLAUSE and CHEERING
This is my damn blog so I'm going to tell you at this point in my room by myself I was like "BITCH are you serious?"
Now I choose to believe that Obama is going to do what he says he going to do. But it is a FACT that this man took his Ivy League education and chose to give back to the community rather then take a big firm job. There is no denying his compassion for other people and his desire to help them. How are you going to #1 say something like that much less ellicit that type of response from the audience. Would these people spit on a homeless person?? I'm beyond done. I can't wait for this madness to end and my sane CNN panel to agree with me...
I tune out the rest of her silliness and then Wolf Blitzer comes on with Anderson and the gang. THEY LOVE IT!!! Rubbing my eyes... it says CNN in the corner right? Not Fox??? WTF is going on?? Did this women say anything about healthcare, the economy??? All she said about Iraq is that her son is going next week?? BTW it was pointed out to me this morning why aren't any of those damn kids in college?? O that's right they are rednecks...
I mean Sarah def drew her line in the sand and played her part. She is going to say all the borderline racists stuff and make claims of elitism and it will be off limits for us to say anything about what a poor excuse for a mother she is. So let's see how many of the 12 sensational topsy styles she can fit in the next few months. ugggg.
