2. I've been LMAO at the supplemental applause. |

It sounds exactly like an early 80's sitcom.

8. Seriously, trying REALLY hard to be non-partisan and objective here and |
|
I am just FLOORED by the difference between this and the DNC, even BEFORE greek-fest in the arena, lol. Everyone looks so old (no offense to the 60+ crowd, we love you too) and so subdued and robotic. No passion, no substance, no "nothing".

19. No inspiration, no passion.... |
|
And Fred Thompson is trying way too hard.
I love the people just sort of walking around, not paying much attention to him.

Every applause starts with that idiot making the SAME noise -- like a dying moose.

11. All the RNC delegates have remotes wired up to their brain stems. |
|
Applause on que - cheer on que - laugh on cue. They wouldn't be able to get the proper response otherwise.

16. I think it's just that Bush doesn't have audience feedback; he's guessing about the applause. |

How embarrassing. That's pitiful.
Then at the end, he disappears... just like Palpatine in a hologram.

Now we know what that ginormous movie of the endlessly waving flag is for -- it appeals to self-righteous overthetop patriotism while being less obvious than a dangling pocket watch. "On the count of three, open your eyes and follow the instructions you have been given..."

20. And it was the opposite last week at the DNC |
|
I noticed the networks last week during the DNC were squelching the applause, "controlling" it from getting too loud.
