Welcome to Bizarro World, the Republican National Convention

The last few days in GOP Land have run the gamut from bizarre to downright scary strange.

Not much of a gamut actually, merely puzzling.

Where to begin? How about Friday. OK, it's disgusting how the GOP Karl Roverite types and such always play politics and spin like tops rather than address serious issues in a forthright manner.

That's politics. Not that it's right. Not that it helps anybody. But that's the game they play and we're victims when we don't, or won't, or don't know, or can't deal with it. That's life. We've been screwed for eight years by this game.

So it was "great politics" or whatever Fox News Channel calls it for McCain to step on Barack OBama's stirring 30 million-plus viewers, 84,000 in attendance, free event tickets being sold for $300 to $400, thousands outside the stadium epochal Denver speech.

For McCain to try to "win the news cycle" with his insipidly lame Veep choice of Sally No Vetting with the typical GOP hypocrisy and lies, as in her saying she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere when she supported it, saying she opposed benchmarks when she took them constantly, and all this other personal hypocrisy -- the ambiguous child, the no sex before marriage, oops daughter preggers by self-proclaimed redneck kid guess we don't have that "talk" -- nonsense from the destroying the environment, killing polar bears, fake Iraq gun sound bites to the having no passport until two years ago, no foreign policy experience to....

Ah, whatever. They're the same scum who stole the 2000  election, lied Kerry into defeat --Swiftboat pigs anybody --  lied us into the -- look ma, no WMD's, no Iraq-Al Qaeda connection -- Iraq War, blew Afghanistan and Katrina, ruined the economy, allowed credit card company predators to run wild, allowed the companies to make $40 billion quarterly profits while regular people starve to pay for gasoline so they can get to work, and....

Whatever. As I said, back to the RNC: BIZARRO WORLD. The entire flip-flopping on the McCain so-called message whenever it suits his campaign.

So, this is McCain's judgment. As a 72-year-old guy who has had melaoma four times, sure it makes sense to have a woman with five kids, questionable ethics, NO experience beyond being a mayor of a 6,000-person city, followed by goveror of a state with the population of Austin, Tx, to be veep.

What, Dan Quayle wasn't available?

Yeah, that's good judgment.

Bizarro World personified. Up is down etc. Nice touch putting Bush on before prime time. Nice touch having that limp mind Lieberman who was tossed out of the Democratic Party -- primary loser -- giving a lame speech. Especially liked his no-applause iines where the funny hat delegates couldn't figure out whether to applaud or hiss.

Then, we got that CSI actor or whatever he is who put up that faux presidential campaign for a few months and then had to shut up...Until now.

This convention might be called a train wreck, except it would give a bad name to train wrecks.

Thanks for nothing?

Close. although I'll give them this much. As Roseanne Rosannadanna once said: It's always something.

And in the case of the rapidly sinking Repuboship, it's sort of great theater, except the consequences are always bad for real people.

I'll give them this much. I'll be tuned in for a few moments tomorrow. You never know what kind of crazy off-the-wall stuff this "fun"? bunch will "think" of next.

.Always surprising, apparently, and always insane.
