Reactions to the RNC

Now that the elephants are leaving St Paul, the experts weigh in! For the adult conversation, click on GritTV over on the right.

For buffered responses, we turn to YouTubia, the great leveler, because Tina Fey won't be on SNL until Saturday.

First, a sample of the pundits ON the air:
Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow review the nomination on Sept 1.

Tom Brokaw and Chuck Todd on MSNBC.

CNN has Donna Brazile, Roland Martin, Toobin and more.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow sums it up in five seconds at 3:20.
(Who is Rachel? Air America host who will now have a show on MSNBC).

Then the pundits when they think they're OFF the air: in first place this morning for views at YouTube: Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy, two conservative commentators, are caught saying what they REALLY think of McCain's VP choice: "It's over."

But enough of the pundits. What else is out there? Warning: the following contain satire, profanity and all-around bad taste.

LisaNova imagines the conversation between McCain and Palin when he offered her the nomination!

Kevin Nalts does a Tootsie take on Palin in response.

Here's the McCain rap song (as part of the Headzup playlist).

They gave away a T-shirt for every time McCain said "my friends" in his speech last night: ten.

Famous people have opinions, too: P. Diddy's put up his own vlog about the Palin pick, and there are now a gazillion responses. I am fond of Michael Buckley of "What the Buck?".

After the P. Diddy parody, check out this hilarious song, a parody of I kissed a girl, rewritten as I picked a girl.

The Ballad of Sarah Palin #2 (with a banjo!)

And here's an interview with Jon Stewart, who is now a more respected source of news than other TV newscasters. With the McCain campaign sounding identical to SNL, we can understand why.
