I'm going to be curled up in a tiny little ball crying on September 1

[XemaSab]

Monday, Sept. 1
Service

"Love of country, my friends, is another way of saying love of your fellow countryman."

President George W. Bush

1. Are you serious? Wow, I guess take the trash out all on one day

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke::puke:

[mooseprime]

2. of course. i find it very helpful to remind myself

that "republican" is a diagnosis, describing a systematic inability to absorb and process factual information. then they're merely ill.

[Aqaba]

3. Screw that, I'm gonna be popping champaign!

Frog face, The Terminator, Darth Vader, The Joker and a Monkey on their opening day, performing in front of a bunch of pasty-white, pearl-clutching, fear-mongering, greedy, souless bastards?

Thats the best line-up we could ask for IMO.

When is Cindy McCain up? LOL!!

[Egnever]

4. I think its going to be a laugh riot

I cant wait....

thats not change you can believe in....

LMAO

worst speech ever magnified times 100 sept 1

its going to be cathartic.

[CreekDog]

5. Sheesh, the closest the rest of them get to military service is Arnold

:eyes:

[bicentennial_baby]

6. I think I'll hit the beach, and then the bars in Boston...

The bars without TVs. :D

[Withywindle]

7. That is gonna be such a wonderful night to NOT watch TV. n/t

[tuvor]

8. The POTUS is giving a speech??

Oh, that can't be a good thing for their campaign.

I hope it's a long 'un.

[Aqaba]

9. Nooo

He is going to assemble some words in front of an audience, enunciating some of them.

[Stardust]

10. And periodically flipping the pages of his script., emphasizing what

a smart thing he just said. :puke:

[Danger Mouse]

11. Oh, come on...it'll be good for a laugh at least.

:D

[Art_from_Ark]

12. Given that it will be 10 days before a certain anniversary

I wonder how many times "terror" and "September 11" will be brought up in their cumulative speeches?

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

14. I think they're going to let Rudy 9u11ani have that job

I believe he's doing the KKKeynote speech on one of their nights.

[Art_from_Ark]

16. I can hardly wait

Sounds like it'll be a replay of 2004

[bushisanidiot]

24. The RNC could save a lot of money and just replay video of the '04 convention

no one would notice.

[DFW]

13. Quite a bow to non-native English speakers, actually

With Cheney, Laura, and Lieberman there, that means 2 out of five who
don't speak English as a native language.........

[krispos42]

15. Easy fix

Spend it drunk instead!

The Republican National Convention Drinking Game

Take one drink if/when:

1) Someone says “freedom”
2) Someone says “terror” or “terrorists”
3) Someone says “tyranny”
4) Someone says “liberal” or “democrat” as if it means “asshole”
5) Someone says “flip-flop”
6) Someone says “Ronald Reagan”
7) Someone cries during the Reagan tribute. Take 2 drinks if that person appears too young to have remembered Reagan’s presidency.
A picture of Reagan is shown in conjunction with an American flag
9) A person of color appears on the screen. Two if that person is not J.C. Watts, Colin Powell, or Condoleeza Rice. Three every time the camera returns to the not-J.C. Watts-person. Three drinks if pictures of happy Iraqi children are shown. Four drinks if the happy Iraqi children are shown with happy American soldiers.
10) Bush does that head-bob/nod thing. Take two drinks if he winks.
11) Someone says “war”
12) A picture of a soldier is shown.
13) A moment of silence is given to dead soldiers.
14) Someone says something has been done “for the Children”

Remember, designate a driver!

18. If I played that drinking game,

I'd be out like a light within 5 minutes

[krispos42]

22. If you listen to the RNC convention...

...you'll also be out like a light in 5 minutes!

[Hawkeye-X]

19. Forget that - knowthing these 5 schmucks on Sept 1st - call an ambulance

and send it to the nearest detox center.

For Minnesotans - it's the Fairview Hospital near the U of M.

Hawkeye-X

[TheKentuckian]

20. Please do not attempt the RNC drinking game

if you play by the rules, it is highly unlikely you will wake from your stupor in time to vote in November.

There are 40+ ways to drink and the Oilmen will add a multiplier of at least 10,000.

Be careful, we need you guys sober enough to get to the polls and not get suppressed due to alcohol.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

17. Let's have a WEENIE ROAST!

Why do you even care what the asshats are going to do - the line up sounds like some sort of teen slasher flick but with no real happy ending....

When a group is desperate enough to start with Loserman and end with Slappy the neocon Chimp, you should celebrate.

What a bunch of fucking idiots... I almost feel sorry for Arnold.... He should really step aside and let them terminate themselves.... Oh, that's right, they can not self terminate. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/quotes

[KharmaTrain]

21. It'll Be A Great Week For Movies...

Schedule not completely set but some of the titles include: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Dave, Wag The Dog (how appropriate), Mars Attack, The Candidate (great Redford pic), Animal Farm and Broadcast News. Plus there'll be lots of baseball to watch as well.

I don't expect to watch any of that swill. I'm sure DU will be frantic with the latest outrage and gaffe...and any worthwhile video will be in the gallery here or on C&L.

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

26. And don't forget the premiere of the "new" 90210!!

Yeah, I expect it to suck ass. But when the competition that night is Rudy 9u11ani, Tom Ridge, FrankenFred and The Huckster, even Aaron Spelling's rotting corpse couldn't stink the show up worse than that!

[nc4bo]

23. Damn, I thought Laura Bush hated Mccain - something about what he did to Carol. geez. nt

[blm]

25. Expect media to give them as much airtime possible, with pundits too cowed to talk over GOP speakers

Bet on it!
