It's a convention about nothing!

We posted something like this last week, and others have started to take notice. AmericaBlog:

Where's the economy at the GOP convention? Do the Republicans just think Americans are too stupid to notice the economy is being ignored in St. Paul?

Well, yeah. Most of moron-America is still squidging over how awesome the gun-totin' PTA values mom from Moosejaw, North Snowcap is. The WaComPo:

Maybe it's a good thing for Republicans that Hurricane Gustav has abbreviated their convention. On an issue of some concern to Americans -- the economy -- they seem to have nothing to say.

John "POW" McCain didn't have an economy while he was a prisoner of war. Time Magazine's erstwhile gpuke bootlicker Joe Klein:

[T]he most striking thing about the evening was what was missing: even the slightest wisp of substance. The strategy here seems crystal clear -- indeed, it was stated today by McCain's campaign manager, "Issues don't matter." The Republicans are gambling that John McCain's inspiring biography will overcome the overwhelming -- 80% -- feeling that the country has been moving in the wrong direction.

He's a former prisoner of war, you know. The CS Monitor:

GOP convention honors POW McCain, economy goes MIA

Yeah, we're all pretty much SOoL. The Obama campaign (via email):

At a time when millions of Americans are struggling like never before to pay their mortgage, their medical bills, and their gas bills, tonight’s speakers at John McCain’s Republican convention proved how out of touch their candidate is by saying not one word about his plans to put our economy back on track and provide real relief to middle-class families. Apparently, John McCain’s belief that we’ve made ‘great progress’ economically over the last eight years means he doesn’t have to offer any plans at all to fix our ailing economy.

Because he didn't have to think of making any plans during the five-and-a-half years he was getting assraped by gay sadists, Karl Rove.
