But, the constant parade of tea baggers made me reflexively reach for the remote.
I would tune in if they could promise that Jabba the Christy would gag on a chicken bone on live TV

I find the RNCs hilarious in an unintentional way. Like when Poppy Bush laughingly declared "read my lips", or Pat Buchanan totally freaked everyone out in '92, or when Cindy McCain looked way uncomfortable sitting near the Palins in 2008. And Rachel Maddow's coverage should be fun.
Jon Stewart covered the past RNCS better then I can:
