The republican "convention" has been pre-empted on MSNBC.

By a plane making an emergency landing in Los Angeles.

1. That's great. Nobody wants to see it,. and nobody wants to be seen there.

2. I thought a paline crash would be more impt. than a plane emergency landing

3. they are just taking hits everywhere huh. n/t

[FatDave]

Also of note:

They've got Chuck Todd out there running the show instead of Matthews.

4. As much as I hate to say it........doesn't CSPAN offer coverage of the 3 ring elephant circus too?

We got keep working to pump out the Palin stories while M$M is over there twiddling it's thumbs.

BTW, Has McPOW come out to play today?

[FatDave]

6. I'm sure they do

I'm just fascinated by the "slow news day" aspect of their convention.

5. more important

I'm going to have to figure out a way to afford cable....

7. There's been nothing but a procession of Republicans on MSNBC this morning

one after another being asked softball questions about Palin, allowing them to mention what a great person she is. So, I don't see how the interruption of their brand of news with another story makes any difference.

9. Well, it makes more sense this week than it did last week.

I suppose last week it was hard to find a democrat to talk to. They were all busy with the convention. This week there's plenty of republicans available.

10. flat tire. n/t

11. Ok DU'ers so Mittens and a few other choice overt spies were in the DNC

audience, which Dems got the short stick to overtly spy on the RNC?

BTW, our homie, Keithie got "reassigned" to cover the hurricane (dang it) and may not be back so......who we got?

12. They got their priorities right.
