A big heaping number of Americans watched John McCain's acceptance speech last night, hoping to get just one last glimpse of Sarah Palin's stems before she's extradited to face charges in her home country of Alaska (which happens to be very close to Russia. Hmmm...) While a lot of people tuned in, the real question is how long they stayed awake during the 40+ minute change-a-thon before Uncle John sent them off to dream about reform.
We consulted with a sleep therapist (okay, he's our intern), and it turns out you can tell a lot about a person's character based on when John McCain's acceptance speech put them to sleep. Check our annotated speech transcript below and you might just learn a little something about yourself... More ...
President Bush spoke to the RNC on Tuesday night, via satellite. The McCain campaign was reportedly relieved that Hurricane Gustav prevented Bush from speaking in person on Monday night. Bush himself is said to be angry at being trashed all week by people in his own party that want to "change" Washington, which he has been running for about 8 years. Regarding John McCain's acceptance speech last night, Politico pointed out that, "If you didn't know that John McCain was a Republican, you might think he was running against the Republicans."
Well, well, well. This Republican President has a few things to get off his chest- talk to him now! More ...
Last night during his acceptance speech at the RNC, John McCain said, he doesn't work for a party, or special interests, or himself. "I work for you."
Awesome, that means we get to fire him! If you've never run your own business like Sarah Palin has, you probably aren't used to firing people. That's why we put together this simple Let's Fire John McCain-O-Tron, which comes complete with all the different ways to send this grumpus packing: More ...
Please, Jesus, let this one be true.
Track Palin, Sarah's teenage son who is shipping off to Iraq on Sept. 11th, apparently joined the Army to avoid jail. Most of Track's senior year was spent in Michigan, which is unusual. Why would this amazing example of family values let their oldest live in Michael Moore's homestate? Could it be that Track severed the brakes of a schoolbus, endangering the lives of elementary school children? And this has something to do with " Troopergate?"
Sarah Palin, it is Friday afternoon and we want to go home. Your family is KILLING US.

The reviews of John McCain's speech to the RNC are middling at best, with CNN's Jeffrey Toobin saying it was the worst acceptance speech since Jimmy Carter's in 1980. But before you liberal elites claim victory, stop and think: there's a reason McCain came off like Grampa after one too many glasses of Bailey's. You think the GOP is just going to roll over, accept defeat, and send a member of the party faithful out to be a sacrificial lamb? Oh, no, my friends, they save that technique for Supreme Court nominees and FEMA directors. More ...
In addition to introducing the world to herself, her children, her soon-to-be-grandchild, and, depending on whether Trig, or Bristol's fetus, is pregnant yet, her possible great-grand-child, Wednesday night the straight-talkin' Sarah Palin introduced us to a new word.
TNR's Michael Crowley happened to catch it in reading over the prepared text of Palin's speech:
Terrorist states are seeking new-clear weapons without delay.Oh my god, new-clear weapons? And they're not even delaying their seeking of them. That's not good, right?
By the way, a word not mentioned in the speech: "burrthcuntroll."

We've seen the GOP smear honorable Democratic candidates. But how would the Rove machine attack the McCain/Palin ticket if they were running against it? The second in our three part series:

A lot has been made of VP nominee Sarah Palin's experience as the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. Her running mate, John McCain, has listed the gig as one of many reasons he has full faith in Palin, and the nominee herself brazenly claimed it was a tougher job than Barack Obama has ever done.
First, it isn't. But also, there is a legitimate reason for Palin to lean so heavily on her experience as mayor. We're all shaped by the places we grow up and Sarah Palin is no exception. After the jump, take a leisurely tour through Wasilla and find out how this small town made her the woman she is today. More ...
HuffPo's Thomas Edsall points out that the current Republican ticket is more conservative and evangelical than its predecessor.
McCain and Palin now head a ticket that is emerging as more red-bloodedly conservative than Bush-Cheney in 2004.What will McCain tell moderate and independent voters, who were hoping for Joe Lieberman as a vice presidential pick? It appears that McCain is trying to explain his evangelical pick in a series of four new campaign posters.
Remember the fun John McCain? The one who used to pal around with the media, crack jokes, smile a lot and invite female reporters on to the Straight Talk Express for a completely non-sexual bus tour? Where'd that guy go?
A lot has changed since 2000, when McCain was a media darling full of good humor and charming small talk. Now, the guy who once called the media his "base" is lashing out at what his campaign says is the "offensive" and "demeaning" treatment he's getting at the hands of his old friends.
