RNC: Day 2

Speaker: President George Bush

Wow, I haven’t really been a fan of this guy, and have regularly made fun of his speeches, but this one was good. He did exactly what he needed to do. I mean, Bush was supposed to show McCain as a the Maverick that he is, and show that McCain would stand up to him, even though he was the president and a member of his own party. Shame though, since I really wanted someone to mess up horribly, I mean, the Clinton’s did everything perfectly…Bush did everything perfectly…what’s there for me? Well, Michelle Obama didn’t do much, but neither did Laura Bush or Cindy McCain. Well, we still have a few days left…I can hope right?

Speaker: Fred Thompson

Here’s another headliner. I really don’t like this guy, but once again…good speech. He ended up tackling the issues with Gov. Palin. He also hit the reformist agenda of McCain-Palin, saying that “They won’t care if the gators get angry, they’re drain that swamp!” He did however talk about an exotic dancer called Maria…which doesn’t seem to make sense, but ‘eh, that doesn’t matter. One of the best parts in my opinion was when they talked about McCain’s experience in Vietnam, and his capture. It as another great speech…with a bit of crazy talk. At least we have that to have fun with!

Speaker: Joe Lieberman

This was interesting…a Democrat turned Independent who endorsed John McCain, and was even in the running for becoming McCain’s VP instead of Palin. His speech was kind of…’eh…to be honest. I mean, it was the normal stump speech. Maybe I’m holding the guy to a higher level, but it really wasn’t that impressive. It was more or less “I’m a Democrat turned independent that supports McCain…and you should too. Yeah…okay good.” So yeah…not much here with him.
