“God, Rudy sounds like a limp dick.”<\/p>\n
Now, to watch Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n
Is there a drinking game for Palin’s speech? Anyone know?<\/p>\n
ETA:<\/b> A late update.<\/p>\n
Rudy Guiliani obviously did not<\/b> receive the Republican talking points for his speech.<\/p>\n
He used the word “torture” when describing McCain’s treatment at the hands of the North Vietnamese.<\/p>\n
George Bush pointedly did not<\/b> use the word “torture” the night before<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Beatings and isolation” do not equate to torture in George W. Bush’s world.<\/p>\n Because if they did, George W. Bush would be on trial in the Hague for crimes against humanity, for authorizing beatings and torture.<\/p>\n I agree with Andrew Sullivan — someone needs to ask Bush, point blank, if John McCain was tortured during the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n Rudy Giuliani obviously thinks so.<\/p>\n ETA(2):<\/b> Wow, was that<\/i> awkward.<\/p>\n Palin finished her speech. John McCain came out on stage.
