Watching the RNC

I said I might and sure enough I did. Couldn’t resist Pajamas TV, so I signed up for the cheapie subscription for three months and enjoyed the RNC dog-and-pony show with conservative/libertarian comment, for a change. Excellant video and audio with rare delays, only two I recall.

Especially liked Fred Thompson’s line about how Baby Barry will raise taxes, but not to worry, it won’t be your taxes, just business taxes. So, he continued, if you don’t buy bread, milk, or gasoline, or get a paycheck from a business, large or small, why, you have nothing to worry about. Heh.

But Lieberman was the best. Interesting wrinkle, having the passionate maverick Dem talk up his friend, the maverick Republican, and his maverick veep. I like the way he starts almost every sentence with "my friends," rather than "my fellow Americans," or some such. Or no salutation at all. Makes you feel like a friend.

Tonight, it’s Sarah’s turn, and I sure don’t want to miss her. I’ll be surprised if she doesn’t top BB’s reported forty million viewers for his Obamacles peroration.

  1. I thought you never watched Conventions. Some very interesting stuff last night. Looking forward to tonights speech. Joe

  2. If Mac hadn’t nominated Palin, who has been my choice since June, I probably wouldn’t be watching it. I wasn’t sure he would do it, back during the Dem convention, when I wrote that I never watch them. Although, in truth, I skipped them in ’04. I hope they do the rollcall of the states. Corny as it is, I miss that stuff. Don’t know if you remember, but back in the sixties it meant something. You couldn’t be sure how it would go.

  3. The rollcall is probably the best part. Also you got to know which Famous or infamous people came from the State and what noted landmarks were in the State. Joe
