What To Take Out Of Tonight

Some conclusions out of tonight:

• Sarah Palin's hairdo is beginning to look less and less like a bun and more and more like a bird's nest.

• The campaign still can't seem to find a flattering backdrop for John McCain. Tonight it went from the standard lime-green jello to the Giant Blue Screen of Death.

• Just when you thought John McCain couldn't give a more boring speech, he did. By the way, did you know he was a POW?

• What exactly did he mean when he said that Palin "worked with her nose"? Because as far as I know, she's not in the perfume business, nor is she a sommelier. And the only other things I can think of for what that might have meant are too far in the gutter to mention here.

• Before McCain's speech, the Republicans showed a very graphic video of 9/11 and the Twin Towers collapsing. And then John McCain took the stage at exactly 9:11 PM Central Time. Republicans showed themselves as the desperate, depraved, disgusting, morally bankrupt assholes they really are. But they do that every day, so that's not really news.

But if there's one thing I ask you to take from tonight, it's this:

#24 SOUTH CAROLINA: 17
VANDERBILT: 24

Because, in the grand scheme of things, Vanderbilt upsetting South Carolina and the Ole Ball Coach for the second straight year, earning our biggest home win since 1992, and going 2-0 are far more important than anything that comes out of any Republican's mouth!
