1. Me neither. The TV is downstairs and I'm upstairs and will
not watch it on-line either.

44. That's why I watch The Young Turks coverage. Cenk does play by play of the major speeches
You don't have to sit there yelling at the TV, because Cenk calls them out on their bullshit live in real time (unlike the MSM pundits). It's much more entertaining and satisfying (not to mention informative) to watch it that way.

53. I tried for a while but like you was drawn to the siren song
of Sam Waterson and the ol' L&O...

pseudo intelligent TV beats totally stupid TV...


I wonder how long until they make the Republican ticket into an L&O episode...

(translated in NYC terms however..)

6. I got about 4 minutes of the Huckabee speech
that crap story about the vets and the desks (which sounds like a bullshit right wing chain email).

That was it.

16. I tried, but only made it until about 8:15 PM ET
I can't afford to buy a new teevee right now, and I probably would have thrown things at it if I kept watching the RNC.

27. Me too, I'm afraid
I pop over hoping to find Rachel Maddow's commentary but it takes less than 2 minutes for me to switch back to my recording of the Project Runway marathon from a couple of days ago. It's history and all, but... Well, maybe that's the good news if these assholes ARE history in November. Pretty hard to swallow now though. Especially as I am sputtering with rage if not gagging.

28. I'd rather shit bricks.
Every word of theirs a lie.

I watched one nimrod, whose zombie smile never left his face, whine about how 'because it was raining on some people, we couldn't tell the truth about Obama!' Whiners. And liars.

intend on staying on the Comedy Channel through The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Then I'm going to bed. I will be so glad when this dog and pony show is over tomorrow.

39. I'm watching Destination Truth chasing Yowies, the Aussie Bigfoot
They are crashing around in the dark, in the rain, in a canyon somewhere in the Outback or someplace equally in the middle of nowhere.

This is at least as intelligent as the RNC and more amusing at that!

43. Tried twice.
I think I lasted 90 seconds max each time.

Listening to Malloy is the only way to absorb a few snippets without throwing up.

47. I was watching becasue I thought it would be good comic relief but
instead I am just getting REALLY pissed off.

Especially right now, when I see at the bottom of the screen, this "fact":

"Sarah won election to the governership as a maverick reformer willing to distance herself from the Republican party."

Proect Runway sounds good right about now.
