rnc day 3: it was like watching stand up at the rotary club
that’s a quote from a friend watching the night’s events in st. paul. the comedians (huckabee, romney, and giuliani) picked up where the straight men (fred and joe) left off on tuesday. the night wrapped up with the long awaited speech from mrs. sarah palin the “pit bull/hockey mom with lipstick”. the theme for the night: liberals=blow, terror=imminent, taxes=awful, obama=lightweight.
mit romney: damn you scalia, you liberal justice you
“last week, the democrats talked about change. but let me ask you — what do you think washington is right now, liberal or conservative? is a supreme court liberal or conservative that awards guantanamo terrorists with constitution rights? it’s liberal! is a government liberal or conservative that puts the interests of the teachers union ahead of the needs of our children? it’s liberal!”
mike huckabee: defender of sacred (not bird) things
“centralized governments may care for you from cradle to grave, but they also control you. most americans don’t want MORE government – they want a lot less. it was the founder of our party abraham lincoln reminded us that a government that can do everything FOR us can also take everything FROM us. i get a little tired of hearing how the democrats care about the working guy as if all republicans grew up with silk stockings and silver spoons. in my little hometown of hope, arkansas, the three sacred heroes were jesus, elvis, and fdr, not necessarily in that order.”

rudy giuliani: seven years later, i’m still getting mileage out of 9/11
“of great concern to me, during those same four days in denver, they rarely mentioned the attacks of september 11, 2001. they are in a state of denial about the biggest threat that faces this country. and if you deny it and you don’t deal with it, you can’t face it. john mccain can face the enemy, he can win, and he can bring victory for this country.”
sarah palin: shattered the glass ceiling and spent the first 15 free and clear minutes talking about the pta my guy–but i do throw a damn good punch
“he’s a lifelong commercial fisherman … a production operator in the oil fields of alaska’s north slope … a proud member of the united steel workers’ union … and world champion snow machine racer. throw in his yup’ik eskimo ancestry, and it all makes for quite a package. we met in high school, and two decades and five children later he’s still my guy…and among the many things I owe them is one simple lesson: that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity…[about obama] “this is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars america is fighting, and never use the word ‘victory’ except when he’s talking about his own campaign.”
