The GOP convention wrapped up this week, and Sarah Palin had her coming out party. Opinions? Plenty:
– Levi Johnston knocks up Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol. In a few hours after the story breaks, the Secret Police take down his MySpace page where he rants about being a F**king Redneck, how he is going to Kick A** on his hockey team, and how He Doesn’t Want Kids. Yep, I’ll bet Sarah is gonna love her new son-in-law. He is STELLAR father material! (HOT TIP: the GOP loses the election and Levi NEVER marries Bristol. You heard it here first!)
– Sarah Palin had a great speech, (John Was A Great POW) but the rookie used a SPEECHWRITER! Oh come on! A maverick who wants change using a CRUTCH just like all the Old White Men? I’ll bet an OWM wrote it. How disappointing. A clever speech, well delivered. Too bad it wasn’t hers.
– Rudy gave a speech: John Was A Great POW. Nine Eleven. 9-11. New York. Terrorists. 9-11. God Bless America!
– Mitt gave a speech: John Was A Great POW. Nine Eleven. Damn Liberals. God Bless America!
– Cindy McCain gave a speech: John Was A Great POW. Nine Eleven. Damn Liberals.
– George W. teleconned a speech: Um, uh, gee, John Was A Great POW. Nine Eleven. Damn Terrorists. God Bless The Surge!
– John McCain gave a speech: I Was A Great POW. Nine Eleven. Damn Terrorists. God Bless The Surge!
The upshot of all this, is that none of it will play outside of the convention hall. The economy continues its relentless dive, with higher unemployed numbers and foreclosures, and lower retail and housing starts. Bonds are up as the stock market heads down. Are the Republicans still in recession denial? Too bad, as the 21st Century Depression is right around the corner!
Side note: The GOP has been appropriating many popular songs commonly associated with liberal causes for use in their campaign. Jackson Browne is suing, and Heart, John Mellencamp and others are mulling their options as they do a slow burn. Heart’s song “Barracuda” used to introduce Sarah Palin? Before you know it, counterculture hero Dennis Hopper will be hawking shady right wing investment strategies for Ameriprise…oops! He already has.
