Here's what I learned from watching GOP week.

1. Republicans are better at being mean and sarcastic than Democrats are. Democrats are better at being smarmy.

2. The GOP has lost its edge in convention production values. They used to put out the spread, but this time the Democrats had the pizzaz.

3. McCain's subtext is very Batman: Obama is the hero you want, McCain is the hero you need.

4. Sarah Palin looks like one of those women from an 80s or 90s hair metal bands who played a teacher or librarian - the took off her glasses, let her hair down, and danced on her desk. If she would have kissed Cindy McCain, now that would have sealed the deal on the frat boy vote. If McCain had kissed Palin's hunky husband, well, now, that would have been maverick.

No pussyfooting around here with the sexism - none of that, what the hell is someone who had five kids, including a Down syndrome baby and a pregnant unmarried teen daughter doing running for VP. Going right for being a pig here.

5. White people should not be allowed to dance in public, especially ones who are openly Republican.

6. What the hell is a maverick anyway? And if you have been in Washington since the 80s, WTF?

7. If you are a Democrat, don't go on Bill O'Reilly's show unless you really know how to play in the the twilight zone. David Lettermen is the only guy I have seen who knows hot to handle him, and Obama is not programmed that way. I love how O'Reilly has to break his Obama interview into segments. This allows him to bring out conservative blonde Hooters girls to rip on him (no subtext there, eh?). This basically is saying his audience has short attention spans and has to be spoon fed the talking points. O'Reilly would have been fun to watch had he been around in the 1950s.

8. McCain seemed more comfortable one on one on Face the Nation than he did in front of his own party. So much for the hostile, liberal press, eh?

9. If race is no longer an issue, why the lack of blacks or Hispanics at the GOp convention?

10. What the hell is abstinence education? And how much do you think they are paying the baby daddy?
