This is turning out to be the MOST AMUSING GOP convention of my lifetime.

[K8-EEE]

Murdoch knew what he was talking about -- Mitt's crew are just not up to it. Usually I get pissed off at the inevitable race bating, hate-on-the-poor etc etc but they are so FAIL and so AWKWARD that it is frankly amusing the hell out of me.

Cannot stop giggling over the pre-etch-a-sketched Mitt book being swagged, Priebus looking like he was going to have a stroke trying to justify Mitt's failed berfer joke, Trump's "important contribution" being scrapped etc. etc.

Not to mention the delicious irony of The Climate Denier's Ball being disrupted by extreme weather.

The prospect of Ron Paul delegates or MO delegates or other teabaggers "going rogue?" Oh yum. Light butter, no salt please.

I really think this convention is going to end with a big bounce - FOR THE PRESIDENT!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Some DUer speculated that Palin might show up uninvited

like the psycho drunk ex-girlfriend crashing the rehearsal dinner.

Now wouldn't that be some great theater?

[K8-EEE]

5. OH THAT WOUD BE GREAT!

If I thought it would help I would donate to SarahPAC so she could stay an extra day!

[TeamPooka]

10. A drunk Sarah shouting "I can see Tampa from my balcony!" to people passing by her hotel room

who can make that happen for me?

[K8-EEE]

11. "I can see the convention from my hotel TV""

Which is the closest I can get b/c the RNC is embarrassed to be seen with me!

[left on green only]

14. The way I heard it

She was all set to show up with her "revenge of the trailer trash" side show, but then she couldn't get the tawd away from his snow mobile long enough to drive the freakin bus.

[flamingdem]

16. What if Akin rides up to the convention on a horse?

Please do it Todd

[HooptieWagon]

17. She's supposed to be here, no sightings yet.

She had rented an office front a short ways away to do some fundraising, errr... grifting. I don't know if she showed up or not.

[MrSlayer]

22. One would think she'd be a delegate or something.

It's kind of odd that she isn't.

[monmouth]

26. She's hosting a "Troublemakers Fest" or something like that...n/t

[DesertRat]

48. She was in AZ yesterday

Stumping for a candidate in the Phoenix area a day ahead of our primary.

[MissMarple]

28. She probably would have had to be involved in Alaska GOP politics at some level.

[bongbong]

32. She's been shutout of the convention

The other grifters (AKA, every other repig politician) trying to sell crap to the sheep complained to management that she was getting too much of the take.

[Lint Head]

2. It's like watching clowns having sex.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. While wearing their big noses and floppy shoes.

[Lint Head]

6. Yep!!

[progressivebydesign]

13. in a tiny, tiny, car. n/t

[TalkingDog]

7. errrmm.... not saying how I know this, but there is such a thing as clown porn.

No... just ... No.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. I suppose there has to be, since just about every imaginable group

has its own thing. I think I could definitely live without clown porn, though.

[RevStPatrick]

19. I just did a google image search for clown porn.

Why, oh why did I just do a google image search for clown porn?
I will not be able to look at anything to do with this convention the same way again!

[TalkingDog]

24. Yeah... that was pretty much my reaction.

n/t

[LongTomH]

42. Friends, don't let friends Google drunk!

[TlalocW]

35. Hell, it's even advertised

Subtly, of course.

[TalkingDog]

36. HA....I can see that as the title of a video.

n/t

[Lint Head]

39. This is hilarious! Thanks for adding this. I never knew my comment would be taken this far!

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.

[WCGreen]

40. To each his own, to each his ability to fine anything on the internets....

[sofa king]

37. You got a link for that?

I just, uh, would like to see it so I can... look, just hook me up with the clown porn, yo.

[sofa king]

38. I love the Internet so very much.

Thanks. Found it! And now I can't see because I"m laughing so hard.

[Blue Owl]

3. It's a trumped-up flea circus, minus the Trump

n/t

[rocktivity]

12. DUzy candidate!

rocktivity

[Flashmann]

9. Hugely amusing,though entirely predictable....

[Myrina]

15. It's like a group of 4th graders trying to put on an event ....

... and if nothing else, I'd bet my boots that less than 40% of America wants the country run by a group of 4th graders.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. And they fall to fighting among themselves

when they try to decide who gets the lead role in the show.

"Hey, Mitt, I wanted to be Batman! How come you get the best part?"
"You can't be Batman, Ron, you're only in third grade. Batman can't be the shortest."
"If I can't be Batman I'm not going to be in your stoopid show. I'll put on my own play and it will be way better than yours."

And so forth...

[Myrina]

23. Yep!

[monmouth]

27. I'm reminded of Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney..."Let's put on a show."... n/t

41. Something like this?

[monmouth]

46. HA! Exactly. Thanks for posting that...n/t

[Jennicut]

33. 4th graders are way more savvy then this crew.

I am beginning to think that my 7 and 8 year old daughters could run a convention better then these idiots.

[auburngrad82]

18. I'm waiting for Rmoney to refer to Tampa residents as "Tampons" nt

[K8-EEE]

21. LOL!!

Seriously he is starting to come off as Dan Quayle 2012.

[GallopingGhost]

45. wait for it....wait for it....

[ailsagirl]

25. And don't forget Chris Matthews skewering what's-his-name

Beautiful!!!

Yep, it's off to a good start

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

34. Rinse Prebus.

[WallaceRitchie]

29. FIRST LOOK: Women's Pavilion at GOP Convention

[IMG][/IMG]

[LongTomH]

43. OK, Strike up Billy Idol's White Wedding

The kitchen destruction sequence starts about 3:18 into the video.

[TroyD]

30. Amusing, but Frightening

It's hard to be totally amused or be able to enjoy all the rifts in the GOP when they've just passed the most conservative platform in their history and Romney/Ryan have a chance of winning.

I won't feel relaxed or amused until Obama is re-elected and I can look back on it then and enjoy it.

In the meantime I am cautiously optimistic, but nervous.

[CabCurious]

31. They can't turn a single news cycle. They are being incompetent. I still dont dare predict...

Things being on Easy Street for Obama.

However, we're seeing conservatives starting to jump ship and hedge on Romney. If there isn't a huge bump for him towards 50%, then it's going to become like 2008 again with a complete assault on his campaign from within the party.

Meanwhile, the President's approval rate went up to 50%.

[AverageJoe90]

44. With all the attempts at voter suppression.....

Yeah, I can agree with that.

[LiberalFighter]

47. How about this for a bounce?
