Yeah, that's about right...
Nazi National Convention, night four
Pentecostal Palin gave a decent speech last night, those Americans who are sleepwalking (and that's millions of them) were buzzing today. (Well, OK, so actually, most of them don't even know that she's a fucking Pentecostal -- or even know how insane the Pentecostals, who wish to drag all of us with them into their Armageddon death wish, are.)
Um, Repugnican Alaska Gov.-for-Less-Than-Two-Years Sarah Palin-Quayle simply recited words that someone else (I can't remember the Repugnican operative's name) wrote for her. In her cribbed speech she repeatedly lied, misrepresented and viciously attacked (which her adoring crowd of AmeriNazis, stoked into a frenzy as though they were at a lynching, ate up).
That's impressive? That she recited someone else's hateful words without her human being disguise coming undone?
I mean, as though George W. Bush weren't enough of an (inter)national embarrassment for the past eight years, let's put this shrieking wingnut dingbat into the White House next:

Anyway, Palin-Quayle's speech was so banal that it's not even worth dissecting, except to note that I'm happy that the Obama-Biden camp struck back over the Repugnican Party's surreal bashing of community organizers. You know, community organizers have always been a great threat to this great nation -- just as our public school teachers and our labor unions are, according to the Repugnicans, the enemy. (Community organizers, in fact, have weapons of mass destruction; I'm sure of it.)
Both Palin-Quayle and Rudy "A Noun, a Verb and 9/11" Giuliani last night denigrated Obama's experience as an inner-city community organizer -- without bothering to mention Obama's further experience as an Illinois state legislator and a U.S. senator. Which was just a simple oversight, I'm sure, because the Repugnicans would never lie or misrepresent.
I read today that since Palin-Quayle's vicious, obnoxious speech, Barack Obama raked in $8 million in donations while Team McCainosaurus raked in only $1 million during the same time period. So Palin-Quayle's speech worked -- for Team Obama.
You know what? We could talk about each new daily revelation, such as that Palin-Quayle sought to ban certain library books, that she got her first passport just last year, or that she switched colleges six times in six years (I can see maybe two times, maybe even three, but six?).
But the only fucking thing you really need to know about Sarah Fucking Palin-Quayle is that she's a fucking Pentecostal.
Go watch the DVD "Jesus Camp" if you don't know how dangerously insane the Pentecostals are. I thought that having a Mormon as president would be a nightmare -- until I learned that McInsane's veep pick is a Pentefuckingcostal.
The Pentecostals are the consumers of the Left Behind books. Prevent Armageddon? Hell, these crazy motherfuckers want Armageddon. As their fuhrer, George W. Bush, would say: "Bring it on!"
So if we didn't get World War III with President John "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" McInsane before he died of natural causes, we'd get it with President -- yes, "President" -- Sarah Speaks-in-Tongues Palin.
If Americans actually allow Team McInsane-Pentecostal Palin into the White House, Americans will deserve the Armageddon that they'll get. Unfortunately, the rest of the world doesn't deserve that.
Anyway, although watching the Repugnican National Convention is like watching puppies being tortured (and I'm pretty sure that the Repugnicans are supporters of puppy torture), I'll probably watch McCainosaurus' speech tonight, although all that I expect to hear is that we should elect him president because he was a prisoner of war. Milk it, McCainosaurus, milk it!
Fossil Fool McCain looked rather addled last night when he appeared on stage with Palin-Quayle, so it should be interesting to watch his speech tonight.
I spent the first 30 years of my life in God-forsaken Arizona, so I've heard the McCainosaurus prisoner-of-war story a million times. It would be more nauseating than it is except that I've heard the story so many times that I don't even really hear it anymore when I hear it.
Anyway, the tired old little introductory I-was-a-POW-so-feel-guilty-and-vote-for-me McCainosaurus biographical video is over and the fossil fool has just ambled out onto the stage...
McCain is talking now and he mentioned 9/11 right off the bat. Is he not like your crazy elderly male relative who always lives in wartime?
Oh, well. They did a fairly good embalm -- er, makeup job on him. He looks somewhat alive against the green backdrop, and the gold tie probably gives him that still-alive look they were going for. What's really shocking is that McCainosaurus' mother still lives (she's 96). I guess she's there to make the McCainosaurus look younger...
McCainosaurus is talking about trusting him now, but, having lived in Arizona at the time that it went down, I remember the Keating Five payola scandal in which he was involved. (Google it.)
McCainosaurus' speech has been interrupted by protesters. Funny. The Repugnicans claim that they're going to keep us safe when they can't even secure their own God-damned convention hall...
Anyway, McCainosaurus' speech is standard Repugnican fare, including calling for the corporate takeover of our public schools, and McCainosaurus surreally hypocritically slammed Russia for having invaded another nation for its oil, in violation of international decency if not also international law. I mean, that's the United States' gig!
The McCainosaurus talks about change, but he campaigns today exactly like he did when I lived in Arizona more than 10 years ago... He just told the same old fucking story about how he could have been freed as a prisoner of war in 'Nam but incredibly selflessly elected not to be freed.
Is it still selflessness if you use the same old fucking story over and over and over again for political gain?
Having watched the last two nights of the Repugnican National Convention, it's rather surreal to hear the members of the Repugnican Party somewhat gingerly acknowledge that the nation sorely needs to improve -- as if their party hadn't been at the helm for the past eight fucking years. It's that surreal Repugnican "logic" of our eight-year-long national nightmare.
So we have John McInsane, who, like your crazy shell-shocked elderly male relative, tells the same war stories over and over and over again -- and who claims that the party that has run the nation into the ground over the past eight years is the very same party to get us out of our yawning crater (um, would you go back to the same surgeon who seriously botched your first operation?) -- and we have Pentecostal Palin, who has toned down her "Christo"fascist rhetoric (which went over pretty well in Alaska, I understand) for the national scene. (I didn't hear her talk about anything being "God's will" last night...) But she's hardly the tough but harmless "hockey mom" we're to believe she is; she's a whacked-out dangerous bitch who calls her wingnut agenda "God's will" -- which can only mean that those of us Americans who still have our marbles and who therefore oppose her dangerous, theofascist agenda must be "evil," a word that was tossed around at the Repugnican National Convention almost as much as was the word "maverick."
Again, if we Americans allow these maniacs into the White House, we will deserve whatever we get -- just as we deserved what we got when we just allowed the BushCheneyCorp to steal the White House in late 2000.
If we Americans don't learn from even our recent history, then we deserve to become history.
