Overall Impression of the RNC
[Note on museum wall next to this piece:] "Also known as "November in the Unemployment Line with George." Considered a triumph of the "Big Lie" school of manufactured expectations, in which the practitioner simply repeats promises made on previous occasions expecting the audience to overlook the minor fact that none of them have been kept during the intervening years."
Haven't watched much of the talking head analysis yet, probably won't in fact. It was worth watching Dear Leader despite the vile taste in my mouth just for the number of times there were unscripted shouts of "four more years!!!" hysterically trying to cover up the fact that some patriot had managed to infiltrate this nest of vipers to speak truth to power.
Hope they get out of Gitmo North with their health and prospects intact. Atrios' readers were taking up collections earlier to donate to their legal fees.
We can win this one folks. If that's the best George has got, if that's the best he can do, Kerry's speech at midnight signals the beginning of the end. Thugs can't stop us, Diebold can't swamp our numbers, the crooks will be outed and the prosecutions begun.
Toast, I tell ya. Toast.
