I've seen Giuliani's quote about Palin having "more experience than Obama and Biden combined" when she became mayor all night - it makes me question his sanity
I'm torn. I've been avoiding this convention all week. It's hard enough reading about it the next day. And we're having guests over this evening. If they're gone by 10 then I might watch Governor Palin speak. But that's a big if. I haven't yelled at the TV in a long time. . .
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
here are some zingers that will make the crowd there go nuts:
- "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities."
- "In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change"
Associated Press is already writing about Palin's speech in past tense:

Palin jabs at Obama; McCain claims nomination
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 7:23 p.m. ET
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Thrust abruptly onto the national stage, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin described herself Wednesday night as a small town mayor turned governor, a political outsider ready to help John McCain change Washington.
In an unmistakable jab at Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, she said, ''I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a `community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities.'' As a young man, Obama did a stint as a community organizer.
The Alaska governor had prime time billing at the Republican National Convention on a night delegates also lined up to deliver their presidential nomination to McCain.
In excerpts released in advance, Palin, 44, also mocked the news media, which have raised convention week questions about her family and her background. ''Here's little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion -- I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country.''
Nice of them to throw in that line about "In excerpts released in advance ..."

GAMETIME:
Toke/Bong hit per "Traditional Values" reference.
Shot per use of Barack "Hussien" Obama.
This is NOT for amateurs...I take no reponsibility for how much time you spend passed out tonight or looking like Dick Cheney tomorrow.
If you want to try the "beginner" version-correct pronuciation of any multi syllabic nation or world leaders name-you might get bored here.
