Running the Gauntlet

To get into the RNC today we had to run a gauntlet of Ron Paul revolutionaries. They were very nice, very polite, and very determined. But I’m not exactly sure what standing by the gates to the Xcel Center—or the gates that lead to a second set of gates, a line of metal detectors, and ultimately the doors to the Xcel Center—is going to accomplish. Ron Paul lost and I can’t imagine that the McCain delegates pouring through the doors are going to be swayed by these folks.

Still… I can’t help but wonder why these protesters—and the Christian protesters that rode by the gates on bikes waving “Repent!” signs—weren’t being pepper-sprayed along with the rest of the scum.

Ladies and gentleman, Samantha Bee…

I have dinner plans tonight... hope i'm in time for the Daily Show. Though, I'm sure tommorrow's episode, after Palin speaks, is not to be missed.

Ron Paul supporters always look like rejected character sketches for background characters on "King of the Hill" or "Family Guy"....

The difference between Ron Paul and Hillary... Hillary quit first.

Samantha Bee is amazing. Her line from last night:

"Women don't vote with the big head, they vote with their little hood"
