E-Ticket Rides at the GOP Convention

I caught the speeches my Sen. McCain and ex-Mayor Giuliani. Didn't plan on it, just sort of happened. Senator McCain's was pretty good. His mention of "disingenuous filmmakers" brought on a sustained chorus of boos without so much as mentioning who the "filmmarker" was (or by trotting out the Kerry daughters). Michael Moore, the "filmmaker" in question (and yes, the quotation marks are intentional) was even present in one of the press boxes. Not sure which one though. Al Jazeera's got a box at the convention don't they?

Anyway, like I was saying Senator McCain had a nice speech, but Rudy knocked it out of the park. He was serious. He was funny. He was positive. He was negative. He was bipartisan. He was partisan. (I'm pretty sure John Kerry's got the paperwork rolling on his fourth Purple Heart already.) He was even touching. Did I mention he was funny? His story about the construction worker bear-hugging President Bush (after recommending exactly how the President should deal with the terrorists in that oh so nuanced way big city construction workers are known for and the President aggreeing) at Ground Zero on Sept 14th [2001] was both touching and funny.

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
