republicanconvention.org
Monday, August 30
(not televised by networks)
John McCain -- target of vicious Bush attacks in SC in 2000, gay, er, tolerant, war hero
Rudy Giuliani -- serial adulturer, pro choice, gay friendly, did not serve
Michael Bloomberg -- unpopular NYC mayor, pro choice, gay friendly, did not serve
Tuesday, August 31
Arnold Schwarzenegger -- sexual harrasser, pro choice, gay friendly
Rod Paige -- secretary of education, did not serve
Laura Bush
Wednesday, September 1
Zell Miller -- GA senator, turncoat, vet
Dick Cheney -- War coward. Eats babies. Shouldn't he headline the evening?
Lynne Cheney -- author of steamy anti-men lesbian romance novels.
Thursday, September 2
George Bush -- GOP prez nominee, hid in TX ANG during Vietnam, went AWOL, falls off bicycles.
George Pataki -- NY governor. Pro choice (at least rhetorically), gay friendly, did not serve
Notably absent from the GOP convention (so far) -- Colin Powell, Tom DeLay and George Bush Sr. His own dad is getting the dis!
And notice that not a single of the GOP's cultural warriers (other than Bush himself, I suppose) have gotten a prime-time slot. No Heather Wilson, or Rick Santorum, or any of the TV preacher set, or Marilyn Musgrave or Tom DeLay, or Alan Keyes, or Gary Bauer, etc, etc.
And yeah, I know that Clinton was a serial adulterer as well, but Democrats don't try to impose their morality on the rest of us.
