The GOP Convention, in one minute


I loved this and got a good laugh out of it.

My favorite line? "Ronald Reagan saved our century." - And yes, that really was in the Reagan tribute video - it's no joke. Repubes have such a fetish for Reagan, they should start calling him Ron Jeremy in lieu of Ronald Reagan - it's soo sickeningly nauseating. What's more, economically Reagan did more to destroy the middle class in this country than any modern American president, yet many of the same people who have felt the enduring economic devastation of Reaganomics somehow never miss an opportunity to lionize him. (Maybe that was a CEO who uttered the words, "Ronald Reagan saved our century.")

As C&L noted, the only thing missing from this video are the seemingly bottomless "POW" references, but that's a minor quibble in pretty funny round-up of the GOP's predictable convention repetition. One of my favorite visuals is Rudy 9iu1ian1's absurdly huge teeth, reminiscent of Baba Booey from the Howard Stern Show. God, when Rudy opens his mouth to laugh (when he can stop saying "terrorist" and "9-11" long enough), it looks like a row of urinals at Yankee Stadium.

I've got major problems with Sarah Palin (extensive post coming soon - promise), but, win or lose, already one of her enduring legacies from this campaign is the ultra-annoying "hockey mom" phrase, and I'm a huge fan of hockey, so you must know I really hate it.

Anyway, well done, 23/6.
