"I just hope the men's restrooms in St. Paul are prepared for all those Republican delegates with nothing to do..."
See? Now you know where I got my crass sense of humor.
The whole thing is a blessing in disguise for the RNC. The last thing Republican strategists wanted at the convention was to have those high-profile appearances by Bush and Cheney -- reminding everyone yet again how closely tied McCain is to the staggeringly unpopular incumbent -- but there was no way to exclude them from appearing without it being noticed and remarked upon. Now those speeches can be cancelled altogether without it looking like a sign of embarassment.
Plus McCain and Palin now get an opportunity to rush to the Gulf Coast for a photo op that will make them look presidential. It's like McCain received a special blessing from above in return for picking a running mate so beloved by Christian conservatives.
On the other hand, Focus on the Family may not be able to savor this victory, as they'll be preoccupied with filing a breach of contract suit against the Almighty for utterly failing to live up to their demands. Whose side is that guy on, anyway?
It will be interesting to see how they adjust the convention in light of this. I cannot imagine it will be an impressive sight to see the GOP Presidential nominee and his followers celebrating his nomination.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally this will surely remind people of Katrina and the failures of the Bush administration during that time.
