Today's TRMS
We are still in St. Paul at the Republican National Convention. Things are picking up today-- there are actual people walking around! Yes, so darn exciting. Our big celebrity sighting today? Jon Voight.
On today's show Rachel will be talking to Libertarian presidential candidate and former Republican congressman Bob Barr! Rachel is so jealous that he's been to the Ron Paul convention. Maybe he'll sneak us in? Fingers crossed.
And then Rachel welcomes Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak back to the show.
Unbelievable!
I cannot believe W just told the world on national TV that America will continue the policy of First Strike, unprovoked (read illegal) warfare. He explicitly and shamelessly said John McCain will "stay on the offensive, not wait to be hit" and "strike first." So this is the brilliance of the Republican party. They can now say and do ANYTHING they want and openly promise future unjust wars with total impunity. At this point it is not even newsworthy when a Republican glorifies the morally unpalettable on national TV. I saw no one cover that in mainstream news last night.
By the way, for Rachel and anyone else in my hometown, according to trusted sources, Leaning Tower of Pizza is offering discounts for Democrats and full price for Republicans. So go down there and get some grub and enjoy the Land of Sky Tinted Water (Minnesota).
Peace.
