THE BIG ZERO!- His "big surprise" was canceled, and the GOP paid him zero attention in Tampa
Donald Trump, a television character in a 1980s-era satirical dystopian future SciFi movie, was supposed to have a big surprise on Monday at this weeks RNC, which he wasnt invited to (he says otherwise but he is delusional), but then the Republicans were forced to cancel because of Hurricane Isaac. And they didnt reschedule it. What they did make time for at the convention included a song by the guy your grandma liked on American Idol a few years back, a speech by former Hooters promoter Connie Mack and an old man yelling at a chair.
The old man yelling at the chair was, of course, legendary American actor and director Clint Eastwood, who was invited because I think the organizers assumed he wasnt as crazy as every single other Republican celebrity, but then he went and did the craziest thing of the week. (I dont think Eastwood is crazy, actually. Hes just eccentric.)
That had to be particularly galling, for Donald. This totally unvetted rambling piece of absurdist theater got prime billing right before the nominee, but the dumb video he made was just ignored completely.
Poor Donald didnt get any attention this week for his craziness, because he wasnt invited to Tampa. Because he embarrasses the Republican Party. Because he is basically a giant national joke. Donald Trump, object of fun for all Americans, was too embarrassing to be allowed to go to Tampa and ruin Mitt Romneys party.

And he'd been working on his hair at least two weeks before the cancellation to get it right

Trump receives SRQ GOP 'Statesman Of The Year' award
They must have thought it was a sign from God when the weather handed them an excuse to kill his video!

The Republican Party of Sarasota County awarded real estate tycoon and TV personality Donald Trump with its Statesman of the Year award at the Republican Convention Kick-Off dinner hosted (Sunday August 26) by the Sarasota County Republican Party dinner. The award is given each year by the local club and the dinner serves as a fundraiser.
Trump addressed a sold-out crowd of more than 950 attendees at Sarasotas Ritz-Carlton...

George Will for once, exercised clarity of thought ( which lasted only 60 seconds ) when he referred to ' The Donald ' as a " bloviating ignoramus "
Now thats an award & title he's earned!

Attendees at Republican events are very easily amused, are they not?

(7,403 posts)11. The Best Speech At The Convention
Was delivered by Condi Rice. She outshone Romney just as Christie outshone Ryan. Maybe the GOP needed a Rice-Christie ticket.

Who knows, in a few years the Palin kids will be old enough, and Snap, Crackle and Pop will actually be in charge.
Or are those the Romney kids.. Tagg, Bag, the other Tagg, and Beaver.
