At their convention in New York last night, the Republicans went
bipolar on us.
With coverage limited to a tight and tidy hour, the time was basically
divided between two speakers with wildly contrasting styles:
Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.), a turncoat who did a whoop-and-holler
assault on the Democratic opposition candidates, and Vice President
Cheney, a shoo-in for a second nomination and not in the least worried
about it.
Unfortunately for the Republicans, two very different men could speak
in succession, but the crowd was the same for both, and to a large
degree, the Republicans behaved like a bunch of yahoos who'd been
bused in expecting "The Jerry Springer Show."
Nothing makes a worse case for the Republican Party than seeing a mob
of them congregating.
This crowd makes your average suburban tailgate party look like a
black-tie State Dinner.
