he's more of an ex-buddy that bangs your gf
man, though, the palin speech shenanigans showed just how badly the rnc faithful were waiting for a tent revival. as i told maf, the only way she coulda gotten them worked up even more if she'd done a little yosemite sam jig and started firing sixguns into the air, or brought some snakes onto the stage and started shaking and moaning the lord's name
there's apparently video of the snake thing in action
clinton's moniker of "slick willy" (btw, my friend said "monkier" to me before and i was like wtf) isn't solely derived from his sexual escapades. i think people really admire his ability to macromanage and see the big picture. and his speeches always appealed to OUR BETTER ANGELS.
palin's speech was in two parts-- the incredibly likable bit about her being a pitbull with lipstick, the small town story, the ebayed plane, etc. she has a nice story, and frankly the republicans are absolutely crazy for making this about experience. she doesn't have any and she doesn't
need any, because 18 million americans proved earlier this year that they don't care. regardless, palin's "coming out" party was amazingly well delivered. the second part of her speech, or the "rip apart Barack
and Michelle Obama" bits were contrived, forced, and just plain awkward. you don't have to be a yokel to like the first part, but you DO have to be a yokel to buy into the second.
you half expected someone to yell "hey-ooooo" and try to loosen their collar while wiping the sweat from their brow...and then get up and leave nervously
