Laffy Liveblog: Rudy edition

By GottaLaff

Yes, he did. He called her "Tharah" Palin.

Get ready to get sick. Rudy's up next.

Sidebar:

Palin worked until about midnight last night practicing her speech and resumed again this morning at 5 a.m., according to McCain advisors who have been with the Alaska governor day and night.

The chief speechwriter on this address is Matthew Scully, who is one of McCain's speechwriters and also wrote President Bush.

Palin has been involved in the drafting of her remarks and describe the process as a "total collaboration," aides said, adding Palin is professional and "not rattled" by the attention and scrutiny of this night.

The governor was in "prompter practice" from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. today, aides said. Last night at about 10:30 p.m., aides added, they did a full run-through at a practice podium in an effort to create the feeling of performing at the hour she will appear tonight.

Awww, there's Bristol and Trig, or Track, or Truss. I can't remember.

David Gregory: Palin has a tremendous upside and a tremendous downside, has to fill in the blanks. They want to make her an icon... like... Reagan? Did he just say that? Really?

Rudy Noun Verb 9/11:
We better get it right. I know a way: Obama will win.

We have to imagine job applications. This is already hard. We have a decision to make. And it has to be right. Well, that part's easy.

One guy is time-tested and a saint. Even Dems believe that, he says. Because, and I'm not sure you know this, McCain's a hero. He's The Sacrificer. Did you know he was in the military and got tortured?

He stood up to special interests... he's a reformer.

Now: The other resume, a gifted man. Educated. A community organizer. And to that Rudy laughs and says, "What???" What a dick.

Blahblahblah... demeaning... blah blah.... ass... blah blah... slime.

Newsflash: Obama is a Celebrity Senator! He has no idea how to run things! He never had to lead people in crisis! I'm thinking very hostile thoughts right now. "Not a personal attack, a statement of fact."

"THIS IS NO TIME FOR ON THE JOB TRAINING." HE JUST GAVE US OUR NEXT CAMPAIGN LINE.

John McCain is the guy for change. How did I get him and Obama confused?

JOHN MCCAIN WILL LEAD US AWAY FROM FOREIGN OIL? I think my father in law wrote this, it's a joke. "Drill, baby, drill"??

He will keep us on offense against terrorism = bomb, bomb, bomb.

This is painful. It's like they live in an asylum somewhere and were let out for 4 days.

Did you all know that the Dems are letting Al Qaeda win? And did you know that this is the biggest pack of lies I've heard in ... minutes?
