It will be interesting to see what the ratings will be for their convention compared to last week's event in Denver.

I of course won't watch any of the rep convention - there's football (Tonight is Redskins at Giants), US Open Tennis (Roddick tonight) Will NBC cut off the Giants - Redskins game for mcsenile???

And this was just one night - What's the tab for the whole week? $1 million maybe between the two of them???

How much does she spend on Botox, make up artists, hair stylists - This could easily add $$$.

And then there is her Lexus with the vanity plates "MS Beer". NY Times did a "little" piece on her, on the front page a few weeks ago - but it was on a Saturday:

I can't wait for Keith Olbermann and others to get on this next week - Maybe Friday even - And Stewart and Colbert.

I wonder how much money the Obama campaign and DNC are raising just this week - I would think they would get quite a nice bounce in fund-raising just as a result of the utter idiocy of the rep convention.

I'm not watching this on MSM, as Stewart and Colbert are my other news sources. However, is Lou Dobbs (whom I cannot stand) going to do a series on this? If he does, I may actually watch it. Not enough people take Olbermann seriously. If that does not get rid of Palin, what will?

Back to my fundraiser prep for Obama.

This just follows the typical pattern of Bush/Cheney - more of the same: chronic lies, duplicitous behavior and cover-ups.

She's not qualified to be VP for real reasons in terms of economic, international and national security but this story should stay with the Enquirer type publications.

However, in a moment of craziness I did read the story on KOS, complete with all the photos in one place, and I think she's the grandma.

The entire episode with her is just very, very shabby and I hope it ends really soon.

Over at KOS they are calling this "babygate": Palin is believed to be the grandmother, not the mother, of the child with Down's. Here is the link with photos: Now all we need is the true birth certificate, not the one Palin will "doctor".

Posted at August 31, 2008 6:58 PM in response to NYT - Republicans Admit Palin Vetting Was Thin/Incomplete

There is a posting at KOS that is absolutely dissgusting - if you were not disgusted enough by Palin - that Trig, her "son" with Down's, is actually her grandson.

This is really "Enquirer" material and may not belong on TPM, but there are numerous photos of both Palin and her teen-age daughter (who was pulled out of school with "mono" for somewhere between 5 - 8 months) during the period Palin was supposedly expecting this child.

Breaking News at CNN: RNC suspends most activities for first night of convention - "Rick Davis said Republicans would meet in an abbreviated fashion, conducting only what was necessary to constitute a convention, such as calling the convention to order, receiving a report from the credential committee and adopting the party platform...Tomorrow’s program will be business only and will refrain from any political rhetoric,” he said. "

So, will this give the Republicans more time to meet in private and get Palin off the ticket and mcsenile off to assisted living? He's looking worse by the day. What's meds is he taking besides the Ambien?

I would hope the folks at MoveOn.org are pouncing on this – I have not had any emails from them in several days. I envision an ad such as:

“She’s his “soul-mate” but is she ready to face the tough challenges facing this country here and abroad. At least get something up on You Tube. I do not watch Fox but is there a video out yet on McCain's "soul-mate" comment? Or have they already taken it off air???

I was too sick after this news to watch Stewart & Colbert Friday, but it was great and of course can be viewed online.

Looking at her, I first thought Palin might be in line as trophy wife 3, as Stewart commented. But doesn't she look sort of like an RN - Can you just seeing her pushing his wheelchair down the halls in the dementia unit? (I could say worse but will leave it.)

Is the Ron Paul event next to the convention still scheduled?

It's so sad about Tim Russert - He would really destroy her - She wouldn't last until the VP debate. I'm not sure how tough Gwen Ifill will be on Palin. (Ifill is scheduled to be the moderator for the VP debate.)

After CNN gets done with it's hurricane coverage perhaps they could re-run the series I believe they did a year or two ago on Dementia / Alzheimers. Also, in her religion, do they believe in exorcisms, has she ever seen demons - Like that story about Bobby Jindal? Or was she just into beauty pageants and such.
