Republican Convention Watch 2008 - Pre-Something

I don't know what we're waiting for, but the elder Bushes (George H.W. and Barbara) just came in to wild applause. The missus says they look almost as old as McCain. Zang! Zzp-POW! Wocka-wocka-wocka!

A firewoman is talking about the Minneapolis bridge collapse. Cut to the elder Bushes. They're smiling. I'm going to assume they don't know what she's talking about.

The God talk is coming now. A friend of his (Latino) is talking about what John said when he was asked what got him through the POW camp. He said faith, country, and family. The missus says, "Yeah, but Cindy wasn't his family then." Zang! Zzp-POW! Wocka-wocka-wocka!

The speaker just ended his speech with "Viva John McCain!" He should be careful. To this crowd they might start the deportation proceedings. For his safety, I hope Tom Tancredo isn't there tonight.

Oh, that pre-something is actually George W. Bush. Boy, they've kept that pretty well under wraps. I guess McCain didn't dodge the Dubya bullet after all.

Dubya's former speechwriter called Obama's speech polarizing. I think he's rewriting history faster than he can write.

Navy Seal tribute film. Pretty well done. Long applause for him and his sister, who's in attendance.

The lead-in to Dubya's really going on and on. I'm taking another break.

Oh! Oh! Here come the chants of U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!
