RNC Finale, Thursday Night

AUGUST 31, 2012
Here's the crashdown for the RNC from last night. For thenation.com.  All told, 68 pieces.

Newt, Calista, Jeb, Marco, the Bot. And not a shred of content between them. Someone had the bright idea to shove Clint Eastwood in for entertainment value. That worked, but not as intended (unless it was planned by a Democrat).  To paraphrase John Ford: when the information becomes the bullshit, print the bullshit. I hope there will be someone left who can tell the difference.

Here's my batch (in reverse order). Democrats on Tues.

Thanks for all the help and support from friends and colleagues during this crazy week!


Coda. For a man who almost nobody likes, whose dad may have unliked him tonight. From a letter by George Romney, words to contemplate.



The presidential and vice presidential nominees… and Romney and Ryan.



Romney Olympics 2012: Pentagon Cuts/Pentagon Spending Spree



Romney Olympics 2012: The Abortion Flip



Romney Olympics 2012: The Healthcare Flip



The Romney Olympics 2012



President Who (from an idea suggested by Burt Silverman).



Rubio’s speech gives Romney a new perspective on his VP pick.



Sarah Palin, Fox News: “If the Republican Party is racist, why have we elected so many minorities? Why did we elect Susana Martinez?… Why do we have so much respect for Herman Cain, and so many of these minorities?”



Happy to be here, and happy to contemplate 2016!



Marco Rubio claims his family escaped Castro in 1956. Castro must have looked like this.



So if this Clint Eastwood blends with Mitt Romney in viewer’s brains, is that the image Republicans want?



Ann Coulter, Fox News, on the Youth Vote: “Why are we all letting infants vote? Their brains aren’t fully formed!”



Tom Stemberg, founder of Staples, says Romney worked on saving Staples and its jobs—not Bain and its investors. That was easy!



The Oparowskis — who lost their son — Mitt was nice to them. The Humanize Romney Project.



Bobby Jindal, my favorite Republican (as a caricaturist), gets to be seen again as a man of action… and escapes this convention!



Education is just like milk.


My opinion.



The Education Party. Is Our Children Learning?


I love my brother, but OWWW!!



Jeb, we hardly knew ye.



Oh, to be a Romney son.



It’s the Loopy/Dizzy Comedy Hour!



Connie & Mary



Connie Mack starts the evening!
