GOP Conventioneer Looking Forward… to Hurricane

GOP Convention attendee Jim Brown has penned a blog post for the Billings Gazette which notes that he’s looking forward to experiencing the hurricane. Brown makes no mention in his piece of any anticipation for the convention itself.

Jim Brown, the attorney for the Montana Republican Party, said:

 

this will be first time to experience a hurricane. I’m actually looking forward to the experience.

 

I doubt the locals whose families, homes and businesses are at risk are looking forward to the hurricane much at all.  However, I can’t blame him for a lack of excitement over hearing Republican dullards recite speeches day and night.

You can read the rest of Brown’s piece on the Gazette website–complete with spelling and grammatical errors. Brown also chronicles some of the edifying experiences he has already been a part of, such as seeing Karl Rove in baggage claim and learning that some convention events have been cancelled.

    Yes the Republican Convention was going to be Soooooooooooooo exciting. My Im almost in tears that it is being cancelled by a hurricane. But I find it ironic as well, a hurricane seven years ago this week demonstrated the ineptness of the Bush Administration, and now a hurricane is going to ruin the Republican picnic in Florida. And to think these are acts of GOD so I wonder if God is angry at the Republican party. I mean come on some evangelicals were claiming it was God that sent hurricane Katrina cause he was angry about gays, I wonder if God is not angry at Republicans, for being hateful to his children. But anyways a little digression. Still Sould be a nice Republican picnic and should be the same speeches as usual “Obama is a socialist, Muslim, from Kenya that hates white babies and America”. Yes, yes, yes heard it all before, infact everyday for the past four years. They will propose some great new ideas at that convention, you know take us back to the good old days of Dick Cheney. Ronald Regan was wonderful, trickle down economics worked great. Yes, yes, yes, heard it all before.

    You know the other thing I find funny about this is that it is now Hurricane Issac that is going to ruin the Republican Picnic in Flordia. That is a name from the bible. Talk about Irony.

    Which hurricane is Brown looking forward to experiencing? Isaac, which will dampen Tampa but clobber the northern gulf coast, including, possibly, New Orleans? Or hurricane Romney-Ryan, which, if it hits the White House, will clobber Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, among other things, and leave our most vulnerable countrymen out in the cold?

    Were Isaac to really clobber Tampa, that might be considered Biblical justice. Were Romney-Ryan to clobber the White House, that might be considered proof that God is not good.

    The winds generated by Isaac will pale in comparision to the hot air and methane swirling around inside the convention center. Cue the calliope music. Those clowns’ time would be better spent filling sandbags (with sand).

    There is a song that has just popped in my head “It’s the end of the world as we know it, it’s the end of the world as we know it, yet I feel fine.”

    The Teatards are coming undone! And well the should. America, it friggin’ TOOK you long enough, but finally you are beginning to realize that these nuckers are FUTZ! And that’s a good thing. Too bad the nutless press (especially here in GF) dropped the ball on this one. The sleazy gutless nutless wonders in the press gave these cheeseballs a free ride for far too long! (by giving them an air of legitimacy) Time to END the nonsense!

    The funny thing is, I grew up on the South Texas coast and I’m not sure I would say exactly that we looked forward to hurricanes, but there certainly was a sense of anticipation and excitement. The air crackled. Maybe it’s because I was just a kid, but hurricanes were a big deal and pretty cool — even Carla, which hit us with 175-mph wind gusts and destroyed the roof of our house, and Beulah, which dropped 30 inches of rain in three days and flooded our back room.

      The words “a big deal” and “pretty cool” definitely apply to strange weather, yet not so much to policial conventions where the “result” has already been determined months ago.

    I expected more of the Gazette than to print boring misspelled garbage like this. Correction, I USED to think more of the Gazette.
