RNC Blogging – Where’s the Beef?
I figure blogging will be a healthier way to deal with my frustration right now than yelling at the TV. I’‘m watching the Republican Convention on C-SPAN, and I was hearing the preludes to it on NPR earlier. The naked cynicism and manipulation are galling. I can’t do much more than spew some random thoughts… #
- They’re actually using CJs – Convention Jockies – to narrate the coverage. What is this, VH1?
- Someone shut Ron Silver up. Stupid actors.
- I haven’t heard anything of substance yet. Maybe I’m expecting too much, as it’s only the first day of the convention, but I swear, I have yet to hear any talk of policy, vision, or, or… substance, fer cryin’ out loud. All I’m hearing is empty patriotic sentiment.
- Zainab al-Sujaib just claimed that the Iraqis are embracing the Americans with open arms. Well, certainly, the Iraqis in Najaf and Fallujah have opened their arms.
- They’ve got nothing. All they have is the war and 9/11. They’ve got nothing else to run on.
I’m just a little apoplectic. More to come. Maybe. #
Update: Mario Cuomo agrees with me. (News Hounds) Well, not with me per se, but you get my drift. #
