WTF?WISDOM IN THE EMAILS: “Wonkette-rs: Just wanted to point out the incredibly flawed logic of the Republican Party staging the final night of their convention — AND the all-important speech by their nominee — on the same night as opening kick-off for the NFL. Not only is football the most popular sport by viewership in the USA, it’s also (supposedly) favored by gun-totin’, red-blooded, all-around good ol’ boys (like Levi Johnston!). — Juan S.” [UPI]

    They kinda had no choice on this one if they wanted to go after the Democrats, have a four day convention and also get in before the 60 days before the election ballot filing deadline.

    Hey, some of us big gay liberal communist socialist like football, too.

    Go packers!

  • d4g33z

    hahahaha! That’s a kick in the face for J. Gibbs.

  • dingleberries

    Great… two losers. McCain and the Redskins.

  • StrangelyBrown

    This is on purpose. McCain’s base doesn’t want to watch him speak because they’re afraid he’ll say something stupid, so they’ll be watching football. A smaller audience tonight will mean even more McCain votes in November.

    Welcome to George W. Bush’s America!

    Clearly, the GOP is hoping that the “knock up the seventeen year old” crowd will be too drunk after the game to notice that the Republican nominee for President is too old to work as a Wal-Mart greeter.

  • Advocatus_Diaboli

    football’s okay, but it doesn’t compare to shooting a wolf from a helicopter or lynching an uppity negro.

  • chascates

    After the Saracudda last night most people will probably prefer football. As long as Walnuts doesn’t drool on himself this week is pretty much wrapped up.

  • Lazy Media

    The only point of the convention is to present a gigantic, free political ad to undecided morans. Morans are about 50-50 on pro football, so it’s still worth doing. The mouth-breathers are already voting for McCain or staying home, and they like huntin’ more than football, anyway.

    Me, I’m watching Vandy-South Carolina. Pro football is Hollywood; college football is indie film. Go D
    ‘Dores!

  • S. Cullen Bonz

    All those Cialis commercials during the game will subliminally link the viewers to McCain.

  • lilblackcorvette

    east coast liberal media= jews. I hate to be the one to go there first, but the uppity remark is just the beginning………

  • d4g33z

    Oh noes, that fuckin’ moosehater vid again…

    It’s “Moron”, you moran.

  • The 3-Legged Man

    Speaking of Vegas odds: What’s the over/under on how many times we hear they’re going to “shake up Washington”?

    Related question: Will DaNutz have the nerve to mention Palin’s “exec experience” while ignoring his own lack of it?

  • StrangelyBrown

    [re=84921]jerryw[/re]: Um, it’s “moran” here. Are you not aware of all our internet traditions?

  • Scarab

    Good move GOP. I know that after an exciting football game I’m always ready to watch an old man stumble through a rehearsed speech.

  • Merkin

    The game will be long over by the time anyone important starts yapping. It’s already 4th quarter and they’re only up to Tom Ridge who is snoozeville.

  • The Hispanic Buddy Holly

    I should be at a football game right now, but the stupid hurricane came and the other team (from Louisiana or something) couldn’t practice.

    Though, as much as I love football, I hate the asshole frat guys/Republicans who sit in the student section and don’t know what’s going on because they’re too fuckin’ drunk and obnoxious and are really just bidding their time before they can go engage in the buttsecks and whatnot.

  • The 3-Legged Man

    Which of the douchebags last night said something about the Dems being the ones who wait around for the government to help raise their kids? If Palin’s daughter didn’t have a pair of relatively high income parents, any guess on who’d be paying for her kid’s healthcare, food, rent, etc.?

  • Advocatus_Diaboli

    okay. Jesus, I promised myself I wouldn’t actually watch this shit; but I’ve got a fairly full bottle of scotch, and my girlfriend isn’t around…. Oh, fuck you McCain.

  • The 3-Legged Man

    Am I the only one who finds that this new Raging Gaybo Pink Florid B.S. web site is slower than a Wasilla Republican’s brain? I hit Reload, go take a dump, come back and it’s almost refreshed.

    Trixie Palin may know nothing about footsball but you can bet she knows plenty about kneepads.

  • gurukalehuru

    Really, the football thing is a bigger screw-up than you think. A fumble, since sports analogies are in. It shows how out of touch they really are with main-stream America. Not that the MSM will portray it that way and of course it’s true that most of the pig-fuckers who are voting for him come hell or high water were quite happily watching football and not listening to him stammer over the word “illiterate,” but the point is, they really are out of touch with mainstream America. Way out of touch. It will show in a hundred ways between now and November. This wasn’t the first time he knocked over the applesauce, and it won’t be the last.
    Barry will win by a gazillion votes. It’s as certain as he was of the Democratic nomination after Super Tuesday. Tell everybody I said so.
