(ALMOST) LIVE BLOGGING THE CONVENTION

Mitt Romney

-- strange he mentions the predatory mortgage lending, but doesn't mention it was the Bush administration that allowed such practices

Mitt wants Al Gore to give up his private jet, but will he give up his own?

Huckabee--

looks like he's been resting on his donuts.

Oh, he's still charming. Can mention his own presidential aspirations without sounding sourgrapes.

"Tackier than a costume change at a Madonna concert" ?? Does Madonna use tacks to keep up her moobies?

"A government that gives everything to people, can take everything away from those people." Why do the Republicans think the Democrats want to establish "1984" when it was the Republicans that began surveillance on American citizens?

"I had to get to college before I learned it's not supposed to hurt when you take a shower." Um-- I'm getting some prison rape images here.

"Palin got more votes running for Mayor of Wasilla than Joe Bidden got running for President." So, what, the number of votes you receive is somehow an example of your experience?

SNOW JOB

Tony Snow, the Bush Administration's press secretary, has died of colon cancer at 53. He took the job after Scott McLellan left to write a scathing tell-all about things we never suspected-- they lied to start the Iraq war? Shocking!

Snow was better than McLellan, that's for sure. If he didn't die, he could've run for president some day-- shit, Mitt Romney did it based on his looks alone. Oh yeah, and his millions.

McLellan, on the other hand, would sweat even answering questions about his kids. Never did get comfortable with that stick up his ass reminding him to "say nothing, say nothing!" Look-- even his photo is sweating.
