Tragi-comedy
I saw Arnold's speech at the RNC the other night. It didn't really say anything, but it did confirm what I already knew. Namely, he's mostly just a harmless embarrassment who, if flexible enough, would blow himself. While quoting his movies.
And then there were the Bush twins. Watching them was like watching a bad '80s stand up comedy team. Yes, I realize people write their words for them. But the giggling, Hillary Duff "I like boys and flowers!" delivery added a layer of awful. When they weren't name-dropping their friends in the White House, they bashed their, like, totally un-hip grandparents. My favorite line:
Grandma's so dumb she thinks that Sex and the City is something you should do and never talk about!
Okay, I made up that "so dumb" part, but it was implied. I just cut out the middle man.
And then last night there was Zell Miller, Republimat from GA who sounded more like a delusional hillbilly than a senator. (No offense to delusional hillbillies). Followed by Cheney's smug, quoted-out-of-context attack on Kerry.
Sigh...
I'm still hopeful, but we may very well be royally f'd, people.
