RNC Final Night Top 10

Rnc10-Wtc

The Evil-Doers and Haters video

Rnc10-Sp-Jsm

No surprise, Palin gets between McCain and the cameras after Mac’s speech.

Meanwhile, McCain’s gesture describes whose convention it really was.

Rnc10-Cindy-Theresa

Cindy with Mother Teresa

Rnc10-Green-John

Use of giant rear projection images puts sickly green background

behind Mac again for first 10 minutes of acceptance speech.

(Here’s the real backstory — nailed by a BAGreader first, I believe, if you check the comments.)

(And if you haven’t seen it, watch the Colbert Green Screen Challenge from the 2:30 mark.)

Dnc10-Bridget2-1 Dnc10-Bridget1-1

After all the GOP bluster about the exploitation of candidate’s children, Cindy

actually exploited Bridget and her adoption to boost her own humanitarian cred.

Rnc10-Black-Faces

The networks managed to make it seem like there were plenty of black faces among the delegates.

Rnc10-Mitchell

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell thought her near-drowning by balloon was an innocent thing.

No Andrea, Palin and her religious right posse are completely pissed off and they really were trying to drown you.

Dnc10-Palin-Ebay  Rnc10-Cindy-Plane

You know that plane Palin sold on eBay?  I think Cindy bought it.

Rnc10-Mom

Proper etiquette: When your Mom’s to your right, you should acknowledge her by reading off the teleprompter to your right.

Rnc10-Sara-Moose

Who could resist Sarah in pearls and the paramilitary-looking outfit. (Can anyone ID the uniform?).

And, of course, the moose.

Rnc10-Lindsey-

O.K, it’s an eleventh. I just had to say:

I hope I don’t see that whiney little war-mongering Lindsey Graham ever bear his teeth again!
