Apart from the plagiarism, what was YOUR highlight from last night?

[Stinky The Clown]

For me, it was two:

1. The mother of one of the Benghazi victims. A most disgusting perfect storm of grief, anger and manipulation.

2. Noun-Verb-9/11 who was just totally unhinged. At first I thought it could be tonally hyperbolic, but it soon became clear that Rudy was Just.Fucking.Nuts.

1. Rudy the Ghoul

Disgusting. That evil black sherriff who hates black people.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. Here is an Opening Post to clarify "plagerism...

Many readers might not understand the vague reference; so I will help the OP out high on the list of replies:

2. Stephen Colbert

Hands down the best moment

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

23. Definitely.

3. A great night

Watched the Cubs finally beat the Mets⚾️

[sufrommich]

4. I thought this was one of the scariest convention

nights I've ever seen. To quote Molly Ivins: "it probably sounded better in it's original german." The whole thing was unhinged and Rudy sounded like he was channeling Mussolini. The whole circus was incredibly fascistic.

[ecstatic]

5. The sheriff gloating over Freddy Grey's killers getting off

was especially disgusting. I found the overall tone of the speakers to be hateful and divisive.

[LonePirate]

6. I enjoyed seeing the thousands of empty seats in the convention hall with several speakers on tap.

Even the Republican faithful couldn't stick around for that shit show as they found other things to do in Cleveland that were more entertaining than the convention.

9. Delegates showing their backs to Joni Ernst as they walked to the exits was tops.

[modem77]

7. Rudy having a Howard Dean moment, but Rudy was completly unhinged.

[John Poet]

8. All I saw was about 2 minutes of Melania,

then I changed the channel.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. Skipping that cluster-coitus in its entirety

THAT was the highlight of MY evening. What did I miss? Nothing, that's what! Every little detail - replete with nuance - is now available here & elsewhere for my leisurely perusal, minus the staggering boredom inherent to Klowns On Parade.

[bluedigger]

11. It was a small thing.

I couldn't watch long but I laughed when Priebus gave directions to committee goers in the afternoon to use the white elevaqtors. Then he indicated the direction as two o'clock from his position, while saying"four o'clock". Dumbass doesn't know directions using a clock face.

I told you it was a small thing.

[bemildred]

13. Not watching it. nt

[Johonny]

14. All the empty seats

I've never seen a first night packed with so few people.

[mopinko]

15. KILLING!! KILLING!! KILLING!!!

ghouliani has lost his marble, such as they were.

[NightWatcher]

16. Aside from the shooting, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?

[Paladin]

17. The first 10 minutes of Orson Welles' "Touch Of Evil" on TCM last night.

I knew that this morning's MSNBC/CNN reviews of opening-night convention fumbles would be all I needed to see.

Tonight on TCM: Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns! Hey, beats the hell out of watching Donald Trump Jr.---he'll probably just recite the Gettysburg Address, swear he wrote it, and call it a night......

[Bad Thoughts]

18. "His wienership"

OK, this was just a circumstantial thing. My wife and I were both tired, wrangling a crazy ten year old, listening to the irreverent comments on The Young Turks. Michael Flynn was speaking. His diction was poor, and he garbled his words more than a few times. I thought he said, "his wienership." I thought about it for a second, realized he probably said, "his leadership." Then I turned to my wife, and asked, "Did he say what I think he said?"

"His wienership?" she replied.

It didn't really happen, but did it characterize the evening.

[Ms.Lib]

19. Someone needed to fetch Rudy a straight jacket!!

& how did he know screaming & ranting magically turns lies into truth?? Wait... Who Told??

[maynard]

20. Favorite part

I went to see the Dixie Chicks Saturday night. Trump stole their entrance to the stage.

[MurrayDelph]

21. I watched old episodes of "Doug"

off the DVR.

I couldn't put up with more than a very short amount of what appeared to be four hours of "Two-Minute Hate."

[eleny]

22. our strozzapreti and meatballs supper

seriously.
