ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE GOP CONVENTION
Gail Collins boils it down.
I am trying not to spend too much time looking at the spectacle.
I read that Christie did a belly flop. More about him than Mittens. Ego.
There was a lot of funny trivia but any convention will have that stuff.
I was a bit worried about Ryan's speech. He obviously wowed the kool-aid, sorry, tea drinkers, but had a lie a lot and cover up his agenda to do so.
Those eyes are spooky.
I thought it was interesting that Ann talked about tuna and noodles. I thought that kind of poor mouthing went out with Pat Nixon's cloth coat.
But no. Ryan did it too. His dad died when he was a teenager but left a bundle. Working was an option not a necessity. He should get some props for that, I suppose but come on.
Tonight, the big event will be the appearance of the candidate himself. There will be lame jokes and funny chuckles. A laundry list of distortions and lies. A robotic leaning on the rostrum and an appeal the the "base" which Ann would refer to as "those people". Pandering.
The good news is that it will be over soon.
Let us just hope that there won't be any Demos making as big fools of themselves next week.
