I LOVE L.A.! My Thanksgiving Thanks
10 Random Albums To Be Thankful For
Day 1 Recap:
- John McCain kicks off his 2008 Presidential campaign by verbally bitch-slapping Michael Moore, to the delight of Republicans and Michael Eisner.
- Rudy Giuliani invokes 9/11 and compares Bush to Winston Churchill(!?!), all in one speech.
- Bush himself tells Matt Lauer he doesn't think the war on terror can be won. Whoops, wait a minute, it can be won, there just won't be a formal declaration of peace.
Day 2 Preview:
- The GOP puts on its moderate face with a speech by our very own Governator, who will walk a very fine line of trying to support Bush while not alienating the folks back home.
- Laura Bush will give a speech announcing (surprise) that she thinks her husband deserves 4 more years.
- John Kerry will engage in more ridiculous windsurfing photo-ops. John Edwards will continue to attack Bush's terror war flip-flop.
Also: Are moderate Republicans like McCain, Giuliani, and Schwarzenegger selling out to Bush, or are they true believers? You tell us.

While both the DNC and RNC are filled with party rhetoric, the opening night of the RNC was just ridiculous. To sum up: 9/11, war on terror, 9/11, 9/11, Bush, 9/11, war on Iraq, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Cheney, 9/11, Bush, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11. C'mon now! No mention of domestic policy whatsoever.
As for McCain and Giuliani, they were being good boys, towing the party line and looking ahead four years. This wasn't about Bush but instead about their political futures.
Great RNC Day 1 summary, BTW.
Sandy is correct. Towing the line so their collective asses won't be handed to them in the future, via lack of Rep party funding.
Did Arnold just say that a Richard Nixon speech inspired him to become a Republican? Sheesh.
"Don't be an economic girlie man!" and then a cutaway shot to a near-orgasm Trent Lott. Life sucks.
I think they're towing the party line, and unity is the best thing the Republicans have going for them. Very few Democrats came to Clinton's defense during his hard times, and that cost the party a lot, including its soul. (Bush could screw 100 interns and his boys would still back him up.)
I still think Gore would've won in 2000 if only he'd embraced the Clinton legacy instead of running from it. (Oh, wait. He did win. But Republican unity vs. Democratic wimpiness let the bad guys steal it away.)
