How can the republican convention possibly compete with this?
Who are their big speakers? Who is there in the republican party that anybody wants to hear from? We've got an embarrassment of riches in Denver. Who on Earth can they counter with? The most unpopular president in recent history? His even more unpopular Vice President? A turncoat democrat? They're fucked. Fucked I tell you!

That's just pathetic. Do they really think the American people will fall for "I meant to do that"?

52. You all know good and well
that you can't wait for the inspiration and fresh ideas from the likes of JOEmentum, Mayor 9/11, Dubya, Darth Cheney, Cunnilingus Rice (sounds like a Mexican side dish, send her south of the border maybe they'll eat her), Tom "Color Code" Ridge, Bobby "The Exorcist" Jindal, Kay "Bush with a uterus" Hutchinson, and of course Drill Surgent McKeating Five.

They are the most worthless lot of all time. It's actually sad. They've made the party of Lincoln a complete disgrace. None of them is even a shadow of George HW Bush.

40. Sure they can. They'll wheel out 4 or 5 oil executives in gold plated golf carts holding
martinis, crying and sobbing that they already pay too many taxes on their salaries, bonuses, stock options, real estate, yachts and sports cars.

They'll show you before and after photos of their trophy wives clearly outlining that without continued tax breaks, their wives will no longer be able to afford monthly cosmetic surgeries, hair weaves, botox, designer custom made shoes, imported jewelry or servants.

I mean, if things get bad enough, their wives will have to make do with last year's kitchen and bathroom. What will the neighbors think????

48. Well, they'll have lots of pasty looking white people
grinning young Repukebots and trophy wives and really stupid hats.

Elected Repukes seem to be avoiding their convention as though it was a radioactive waste dump, and their bench is so shallow that PO Dubya has to select Quayle 2 (Timmeh the Tool Pawlenty) because no one else wants the job or is acceptable to the Fweeping Dozens.

The Speeches can be summed up simply enough:
Noun, Verb 9/11,
Noun. Verb. POW.
Noun. Verb. Surge.
Scary Negro with a funny name who's probly a frikkin Mooooslim.
