The crowd shots at the Convention look like a Hellish compendium of Far Side comics

Gary Larson's Inferno set in the Twin Cities.

I also spotted a group trying to hold up a sign who could give the "moran" sign guy a run for his money.

Maybe it's just my own little lens, but the Republican Party members really seem to have a look about them...

5. I feel like I should get out a Far Side book and see how many characters I can spot. It's eerie..n/t

3. They've all been shipped in from Innsmouth, Massachusetts.

Hideously inbred half-human, half- demonic sea creatures with an insatiable bloodthirst are the only people who'll still take the GOP convention seriously.

7. LOL!!!!

Also notice this, are there at least 10 African Americans, Hispanics, Asians or any other racial minories there? I mean I saw one guy holding a Hispanics (hearts) McCain sign

9. I'm reminded of an SNL (or Fridays?) skit ... where Bryant Gumbel was

the guest host ... and they ran him all over the place making sure he was in EVERY skit ... sometimes throwing him into a skit for just a second before being pulled away to be thrown into another skit ...

That's probably what they're doing with the paid infiltrators, er, minorities ...

"Okay, while the blacks are being interviewed over at the east wing, we need the hispanics to go to the south entrance ..."

6. Their unspoken reaction to McCain's pick.

Terrific analogy! They are a sight.
