    You might as well just pitch a tent, Ken. They have to let the wheelchairs and walkers out first.

  2. dorothyparker says at 11:12 pm, September 4th, 2008

    I used to like to karoake to that Heart song. I guess I won’t be doing that anymore.

    Oh, and the speech blew.

  3. apocalypsethen says at 11:12 pm, September 4th, 2008

    kind of a depressing week.

  4. SayItWithWookies says at 11:12 pm, September 4th, 2008

    On his way out, McCain kisses every middle-aged blond woman in the audience. And Cindy follows behind with an icy stare for each one.

  5. The Hispanic Buddy Holly says at 11:13 pm, September 4th, 2008

    But at the end of the five-and-a-half years you too will be qualified to be president!

  6. SayItWithWookies says at 11:13 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Kool and the Gang? Wow, it IS the eighties!

  7. Just fuckin’ punch your way out, big guy!

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 11:14 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Cindy — please — don’t try to dance.

  9. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:15 pm, September 4th, 2008

    I have just started to watch it now, and will get back to you heathens shortly. Five and a half years.

  10. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:15 pm, September 4th, 2008

    …Andrea Mitchell is drowning in balloons LMAO!!!!

  11. Maurice Levy says at 11:15 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Andrea Mitchell should get a raise. She’s being buried in balloons.

  12. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:16 pm, September 4th, 2008

    …am I the only watching Andrea Mitchell?!?!?!

  13. OffTheRecord says at 11:16 pm, September 4th, 2008

    ahhahahah. Oh sweet lord. Andrea Mitchell. Covered in balloons.

  14. BitterDuff says at 11:16 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Oh my God…Please, cameraman put down the camera and throw Andrea Mitchell a frickin’ life raft- she’s drowning!!!

  15. The 3-Legged Man says at 11:17 pm, September 4th, 2008

    These are all songs that Reagan enjoyed when he was workin’ it…

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 11:17 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Why do we hear all those balloons popping? There must be an awful lot of little pricks in that stadium.

  17. The Hispanic Buddy Holly says at 11:18 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Andrea Mitchell has been killed by a massive amount of balloons. Poor Andrea.

  18. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:19 pm, September 4th, 2008

    OffTheRecord: Maurice Levy: …I would totally pinch Andrea Mitchell’s ass in the mayhem!

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 11:19 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Wait — he walked through the whole stadium and now he’s back on stage, where he started? He’s going in circles! It’s the McCain Witch Project. (flashlight to face) I’m sorry everybody. I dragged us out here to this godforsaken arena and now we’re trapped and going to die here. It’s all my fault — I thought this was the eighties! (sob).

  20. Andrea say: I covered Reagan. I covered lots of other stuff. I never seen a balloon drop like this. I think Republicans will win…. the balloon war.

  21. Start yelling “Code Pink” and they’ll rush you out of there pronto.

  22. RooseveltFranklin says at 11:20 pm, September 4th, 2008

    I will vote McCain when he tattoos SARAH on his finger.

  23. The Hispanic Buddy Holly says at 11:21 pm, September 4th, 2008

    legglaw: The Republican party is in the pocket of BIG BALLOON.

  24. obfuscator says at 11:21 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Ken Layne:

    You guys should just put on pink shirts and voice unpopular opinions. You’ll be courteously escorted out of there in no time.

  25. Viva la Cynthia says at 11:21 pm, September 4th, 2008

    “The balloon sausages shall drop from the ceiling, and then it will take five-and-a-half years to get out of here because of the total failure of security.”

    But we need to protect our security, guys! Walnuts said so!

  26. chascates says at 11:21 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Wonkette Staff Members deserve combat pay! Assuming they get paid at all. Take the next week off.
    Good job.

  27. Viva la Cynthia says at 11:22 pm, September 4th, 2008

    “Boom Boom Andrea Mitchell”? Seriously, Brokaw? Kinda weird…

  28. The balloon drop terror alert is bright red.

    In other news, I’m afraid I have developed a full-fledged crush on Keith Olbermann. Why is this?

  31. Viva la Cynthia says at 11:24 pm, September 4th, 2008

  34. NoWireHangers says at 11:25 pm, September 4th, 2008

  35. Well, that speech was so boring I didn’t even get mad.

  36. SayItWithWookies says at 11:26 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Jon Stewart to Huckabee: “So you feel that your party is the only party to undo the damage that your party has done?”

  39. Viva la Cynthia says at 11:28 pm, September 4th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: Um, cuz he’s awesome? You’re not the only one pining after that guy, trust me.

  40. hockeymom says at 11:28 pm, September 4th, 2008

  41. chascates says at 11:29 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Guy on CNN says: there’s lots of little pieces of John McCain (balloons?) all over the place.

  42. CivicHoliday says at 11:30 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Hey all - Hopey lays the smack down on O’Reilly on his own show! *snicker*

    chascates: They’re called biopsies.

  44. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:33 pm, September 4th, 2008

    hockeymom: …nope but it is on the Huffington post.

  45. KittyKatMan says at 11:36 pm, September 4th, 2008

    At CNN/Larry King site:

    Will you vote for John McCain?
    Yes 19% 1124
    No 81% 4828
    Total Votes: 5952

  46. HairyIckey says at 11:38 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Wow. That speech wasn’t terrible, but the delivery sure was. And USA USA USA! every 4 seconds is, well, fucking creepy.

    Off topic, I’ve been really busy and missing a lot of Wonkette action recently. So…WTF is up with the WHOLE ENTIRE FUCKING WEBSITE being an ad???

    I’ve had a lot to drink tonight (coping mechanism, of course), but wow it is awful. And this is coming from someone who loved Choke, at least as a book…

  47. SayItWithWookies says at 11:39 pm, September 4th, 2008

    KittyKatMan: Awesome. At this point it’s hard to tell who’s worse for the McCain/Palin ticket — McCain or Palin.

  48. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:41 pm, September 4th, 2008

    That speech was anti-climatic, short lived, pathetic, impotent, flaccid, pale, sad, weak, desolate, forlorn, lonely, pandering, withdrawn, manic, by the book, plastic, and TOTALLY AWESOME.
    You can thank my birthday for this speech.

  49. Ann and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off a cease and desist letter to the McCain/Palin campaign. I love America. http://www.tmz.com/2008/09/04/republicans-lack-heart/

  50. ms_mcgee: * For using the song “Barracuda”

  51. If the Republican Party is done with it now, can I please borrow that jumbotron for the football season?

  52. Johnny Zhivago says at 11:45 pm, September 4th, 2008

    I think he had a good beat and he was easy to dance to.

  53. Johnny Zhivago says at 11:49 pm, September 4th, 2008

    ms_mcgee: A string quartet playing “Nearer my God to Thee” on the fantails would have been more appropriate…

  54. ms_mcgee: Wow. Check out the comments on that story you linked to. I think I’ll just hang out at Wonkette from now on. The people here are just so much _nicer_.

  55. PentagonBookkeeper says at 12:05 am, September 5th, 2008

    “I’m afraid I have developed a full-fledged crush on Keith Olbermann. Why is this?” He had me at ESPN. A Baptist, ad man, friend of mine in Manhattan started ragging on my Keith, saying, “He’s such a hater!” So I proceded to tell him how completely SEXY Mr.O is, and now my friend is scratching his head bewildered. Men have no clue.

  56. HairyIckey: What? oh. I had’t noticed.

  57. CivicHoliday says at 12:10 am, September 5th, 2008

    wow. the few correspondents left in the Xcel center are playing with frightening Walnuts confetti and puppets. And a Utah delegate just did a really really funny impression of Snowbilly.

  58. Fred Wertham Jr. says at 12:14 am, September 5th, 2008

    John McCain’s copyrights were violated for five-and-a-half years!

  59. d4g33z: Agreed. We can only hope (and expect) that those people won’t vote. Ignorant bastards.

  60. Because of Hanna, Skeletor has made the entire US a no-fly zone except for direct flights to Gitmo. Can’t wait to read your on-line blogs from your May-be-as Corpus torture prison hearings. Will Liz do the final videos? Kisses.

  61. The 3-Legged Man says at 2:02 am, September 5th, 2008

    37 million viewers for Palin’s speech, according to Fox.

  62. Captain Swing says at 4:00 am, September 5th, 2008

    d4g33z: Absolutely! That is one nasty bunch of blockheads.

    Just imagine, if WALNUTS! and Ms Moosefart take the Whitehouse teh Internets will will be infested with buffoons.

    Black Eagle - Save us!

    Obama/Biden ‘08.

  63. accidental_tourist says at 6:07 am, September 5th, 2008

    I heard from a “reliable” source that the audience was instructed ahead of time to start chanting “USA USA” every time someone protested or was tasered/beaten/shot, etc. Dang, that was a lot of “USA USA” going on.
