Shut Up Rudy!

Live blogging a little:

Rudy Jules is babbling on. Shut up, asshat. You adulterous pig.

Ok, heeerrreees Sarah:

Thunderous applause. Lots of lots of happy white people. Don't like the color Cindy McCain is wearing & why is she holding Todd Palin's baby? But Sarah looks good.

Hmm ... she's working the teleprompter well, and now hubby is carrying his kid - good. Oops ... did the commentator just say that she was born in Sand Point, Idaho? Uh, isn't that the homeland of the Aryan Nation? Yikes ...

Talking about her kid who's off to Iraq, said she's proud of him, talking about the rest of the family - pretty good defense of her own kids. The mention of hubby's union membership didn't get much applause nor did his Yu'pik "ancestry" which used to be a big ol secret. But the long time sweetheart comment - awwhhh.

Harry Truman mentioned. Wonder who else gets trotted out.

Hockey mom, PTA, Wasilla council, Wasilla mayor, Governor.

Whoo, some nice shots at Obama. Uh oh, there's that idiot nonsense of the "liberal media" but she's delivering it well. The pigmentally challenged audience is on its feet - lordy, lordy.

Hey, where's the signs for Sarah? Remember the cool ones for Biden? Where's Sarah's? Boo, hiss.

And where is the Alaska delegation? Shouldn't they be front and center?

Oh, our infamous jet.

And the Bridge to Nowhere.

Oh no, she just took credit for the size of last year's permanent fund dividend check. Oopsie - that's a big ol lie.

Ah, the TransCanada natural gas line - a mention of foreign oil sources - this is her meat & potatoes issue & why she should talk, and talk, and talk about this stuff. She's good at it.

Oh boy, back after Obama again. She's a purty good attack dog & this is why she deserves to be on the Repub's ticket.

Hum, the Repubs don't do call & response very well which is too bad 'cause she's testifying now & they can't follow. But she's doing well up there.

Okay, here's the deification of McCain: not the strongest part -she needs to go back to the exploitation of natural resources. But tee hee - line of the night "the presidency is not supposed to a journey of self-discovery." Mwahh!

Umm, it's not gonna get any votes but as a matter of courtesy shouldn't she at least mention the current president.

Ok, this is getting boring. It's all about Vietnam. Again, and again, and again. Probably it is fine for the crowd, but most of the electorate (including my gov) is post-Vietnam era.

That's it? Hmm ...

Issues: standard
Delivery: good
Surprises: better attack dog than expected
Overall: Good job. She didn't embarrass us Alaskans.

Oh man, McCain is a really creepy old guy. Go away creepy old guy. As Mom says - this is Sarah's night.

And I'm out. Night all.
