1. It could have been another Gettysburg Address

we'll never know :cry:

[Highway61]

7. ..........

:rofl:

[zbdent]

25. yes ...

but given at the site of the Berlin Wall, and referring to the threat of killer whales on Kansas ...

[cliffordu]

28. Gettysburg Address?? You mean like "123 Ash street" right???

[malaise]

29. Only if you mean

the 'Get ye back to Alaska' address. :rofl:

[Robbien]

2. There are news stories out about Bush calling Obama, Biden and McSame

No stories about Bush giving good ol' Sarah a call though.

[Sabriel]

3. Wah wahhhhhhh!

One rather bizarre thing I noticed last night is that McCain gave Palin a hug but didn't really even touch his wife at all. Are they always like that?

[snappyturtle]

5. No, I think he did....I thought it definitely was an after thought though! nt

[AndyA]

10. McSame did give his wife a pat, and she returned it but it was definitely a

"oh shit...I'm on national television, better give the c*nt a pat on the back..."

Cindy really should leave him, he's a nasty old man. How could she stay with someone who obviously detests females so much?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. She should have left him after the first time McInsane embraced Shrub following the 2000 election.

[slampoet]

38. Have you seen Cindy McCain? She is nastier than a snake and then there is her looks....

....even with the money she is undesirable.


John is the most pleasant bloke she could get and she's lucky to get the old coot.

If Cindy left him she'd never get anything that wasn't above the level of paid gigolo cabana boy.

[tblue37]

40. He almost walked right by

Cindy without touching her. He did sort of hug her then, but without using his arms at all. He just leaned into her and let her put her arms gingerly around him for a brief moment. Then they put a significant distance between tem as they stepped forward to face the crowd. As they went off the stage, McCain very, very briefly acknowledged his mother, but Cindy walked right past her without even glancing down at her, much less greeting her or touching her.

When the Obamas were on stage, they were always hugging each other tightly, looking into each other's eyes and touching, and I could read Michelle's lips saying, "I love you" as they hugged. They kept checking in with and being affectionate with their daughters, and when the Bidens and Michelle's family came on stage, they were all very huggy and affectionate. Then, as they left the stage, Michelle and Barack were totally enchanted by Biden's youngest granddaughter. They kept looking down at her and smiling widely, commenting to each other about how adorable she was.

It is obvious to me that there is a lot of genuine love and sweetness there in the Obama/Biden group, but that the McCains are physically uncomfortable in each other's presence and in the presence of others. I was amazed to see Cindy walk right past her mother-in-law as if she were invisible, without even glancing at her.

4. Sarah Palin, please do hush and go home.

For the love of God, go away.

8. As amazing as it seems McCain wanted Lieberman not Palin.

Lieberman was attached to McCain at every turn. Give her time Palin will tell all.

[Virginia Dare]

9. They had poor Sarah sitting in the corner by last night..

I guess she opened her stupid mouth just once too often.

[SoCalDem]

30. Oh Snap!.. They Put Baby in a corner

:rofl:

[JSK]

11. Well no wonder she was teary-eyed nt

[wvrob13]

12. She has said

enough already. Just send her home with a lightbulb. I hear dark winters last a while in Alaska.

[livetohike]

43. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Dukkha]

13. an attention whore to the very end

it was all about her an no one else.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. she would never have been gracious. glad it was vetoed

the country needs move away from hating each other

[MindMatter]

23. "Well now it looks like ALL of America will be

palling around with terrorists."

Yep, probably a good idea to cut her mic.

[abbeyco]

15. I'd rather see her 'fancy pagent walkin' LOL

:rofl:

[earth mom]

16. McCain basically told Palin to take her rogue bullshit and shove it!

:rofl:

[Generator]

18. I noticed she had tears in her eyes

Power hungry wench-begone!

[Rivethead]

45. Good.

I can't wait to see this satanic, animal slaughtering bitch in prison.

[Roy]

19. I didn't say anything to those with me, but.......

I was sure I saw her take a step toward the mic after McCain finished and he grabbed her arm.

It was fleeting, but I swear I saw it.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

20. OMG, if this isn't the description of a grifter.... from Newsweek

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family--clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

:rofl:

BTW...this makes m believe more and more that her home in Wasilla fell of the back of a truck!!!!!

[malaise]

31. Wait until we find out that the contractors built that

home for free - you betcha she won't make it to the Senate bathroom. :rofl:

[Flying Dream Blues]

44. Yes...this is the one I'm waiting for! You just KNOW Todd and pals didn't build that house!! nt

[JuniperLea]

21. All I could say last night was CRY SARAH CRY!

Cry baby cry! Let's see you cry, you dumbass attention whore!

Good ridance to bad rubbish.

And a hearty "neener neener" too!

Bon voy-ah-gee!

[malaise]

33. Actually when I saw her I shouted at the TV

Mine baby mine - all the fugging votes :rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

36. Goodbye, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, bon voyage, see ya later moose-eating alligator

:hi:

[malaise]

37. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

hahahahahhaha - perfect. :rofl:

[JuniperLea]

39. I knew she was a lizard!

I knew it! I knew it!

Oh, Swampy! That is one hell of a picture!

:rofl:

24. Good for Steve Schmidt.

That was the smartest thing he did all campaign. It would have been a hatefest if she started in.

[joeunderdog]

26. She wanted to speak while knitting on a unicycle.

But they couldn't find a unicycle in time for the Concession.

Damn.

[FloridaJudy]

27. Good

I'll be so glad to see that poisonous harridan from Wasilla disappear back into the obscurity she so richly deserves. Despite the fact I didn't like his politics much, I have a feeling that John McCain is not an evil man - in fact, I think he may be seriously ill and thus susceptible to the machinations of his handlers. I can't say the same for her: she's Dick Cheney is drag, or at least would like to be.

Sarah should have been wearing the Black Widow Spider costume last night, not Ms. Obama. Michelle, I love you girlfriend, but what were you thinking when you picked out that dress????

[tblue37]

42. Yes! I have been bitching about that dress since I saw it last night.

I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one bothered by it. Michelle usually picks nice outfits, but that dress was a disaster, and that short little cardigan just made it worse.

The girls looked darling, though.

[plaintiff]

32. I never considered her buff to begin with.

heh heh

[MrCoffee]

34. Smartest move the McCain campaign ever made.

[malaise]

35. And that campaign made very few smart moves

Damn Mr. Coffee we whipped their sorry asses!!! :rofl:

[ljm2002]

41. It's funny...

...I could tell Sarah was holding back her emotions, but it was more than obvious that Tawd was pissed off! Frozen almost-smile and narrowed eyes, he was barely keeping it together...

How sweet it is!
