Republican National Convention '08 - Page 3

Strangler Lewis · 09-01-2008, 08:17 AM

I'll concede the wrestlers to the Republicans. Big Show is a big Republican, and Ric Flair was a Huckabee supporter.

Sylvester Stallone endorsed John McCain during the primaries.

Pat Boone is also a Republican.

Yes...the major star power is with the Democrats.

Although Gustav has weakened below where they thought it would be there are still a lot of worry. The levees in New Orleans are getting pushed to the limit and the water is rising. There are also barges and ships that have broken loose and the authorities are trying now to keep them from breaching the levees.

I put this here because the Hurricane and the convention have become part of the same story and how the convention moves forward is completely dependent on what Gustav does.

EDIT - Water is currently lapping over the industrial canal in the lower 9th Ward.

Both of whom I would love to see in a WWWF match.

How about Celebrity Deathmatch?

In addition to the required business, Fox News is reporting that Laura Bush and Cindy McCain will address the convention about the Hurricane and launch the convention's relief efforts for victims.

Oh yeah, I forgot Ted. BIG, BIG Democratic star ... even more dramatic at his first post-diagnosis major appearance.

And while I don't exactly rejoice, scaeagles, at the demise of certain Republicans, when I think on the likes of Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond, I can't help but be glad their time has passed.

That's because, allowing for certain shades of gray, I think they were actually evil. Is that how you see Ted Kennedy?

No - I see a big oaf who murdered a woman. Evil? No. Guilty of negligent homicide? Yes.

I only brought him up, though, as a big name Dem who will probably be passing soon, and was simply trying to give a tasteless example because I thought your statement was tasteless.

Perhaps Robert Byrd might fit in more with your evil considering his past with the KKK and all, but I'm not really trying to think of dems that I would categorize that way.

If I'm not mistaken, negligent homicide isn't the same thing as murder. Laura Bush ran a stop sign when she was younger and killed a pedestrian. I don't think anyone would say that she murdered someone though. And in both cases, it was clearly an accident. Of course, Kennedy exercised extremely poor judgment in not immediately reporting it, but that doesn't make him a murderer.
