I had so many things I wanted to say about Senator John McCain's speech tonight, but a friend called me and yelled that I needed to turn to MSNBC, "Now!" So, I quickly fumbled with my remote to turn there to see that vile Andrea Mitchell being pummeled by balloons as McCain supporters standing nearby kept her enclosed in a sea of red, white and blue. I have to say that I haven't seen anything so fucking hilarious in a long, long time. There was old Andrea swatting those balloons away as onlookers laughed their asses off and kept them coming. Thank gawd I was recording. Now, on a rainy day when I'm feeling a little blue I'll just pop that DVD on in and laugh myself happy. I was praying that old Andrea would get to cussing, but she held herself together, although her brow was so furrowed she could have cracked a damn walnut between her eyes. Even Brian Williams chuckled about it when Tom Brokaw said, "When we come back, we'll head back out to the floor to see if we can't finally get ahold of Andrea in that sea of balloons." Old Andrea Mitchell battling balloons--a priceless moment in television history. What do you know? MSNBC has a sense of humor!!! The video is up!!! lmao Check it out below:

Where in the RNC is Andrea Mitchell?
As for the speech. I thought it was as good as can be expected from John McCain. He isn't known for being some powerful orator, so I wasn't expecting that. He did a really good job outlining some of his goals and plans for his administration and I thought the part where he talked about his distaste for war in light of his own experience was especially moving. He stated:
When I was five years old, a car pulled up in front of our house. A Navy officer rolled down the window, and shouted at my father that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor. I rarely saw my father again for four years. My grandfather came home from that same war exhausted from the burdens he had borne, and died the next day. In Vietnam, where I formed the closest friendships of my life, some of those friends never came home with me. I hate war. It is terrible beyond imagination.
It has been a constant drumbeat from the Obama supporters that John McCain is thirsty for war, but I don't believe that. It's also very ironic that two weasels can stir up commotion among their mindless followers telling them that this man wants war when he's the one who was beaten within an inch of his life for five years in some P.O.W. camp while neither of them ever even had a thought of suiting up for war.
Now that all of the pomp and circumstance and the formalities of these conventions is over--it's time to get down to business. We've got 60 days to get this done and I think this week was very beneficial to Senator McCain.
I watched part one of Bill O'Reilly's interview with Senator Barack Obama and I have to say, put this one in the "Obama Temper Watch" file. Notice the angry body language of Obama when O'Reilly starts asking him questions about Iraq and Iran. He nearly puts his hands on O'Reilly's knee-caps he is in such a defensive position. Also notice how dark his eyes get. Watch below:
O'Reilly used the word "lively" when teasing the next three parts of the interview, set to air next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday--and that can only mean one thing. Obama damn near showed his ass with that temper he's trying to hide after Bill O'Reilly started asking him about Rezko, William Ayers and Reverend Wright. I'll be watching. --SUGAR
