The governor of Virgina, Bob McDonald, spoke the rebuttal for the Republican Party last night after Obama's speech. The speech was thin, I thought and full of cliches. They made a point of saying that in the large room where the governor spoke was full of friends. What made me laugh was the four people purposely placed at the four corners behind him. In the upper left hand corner, was a black woman; the upper right hand corner, an Asian man; the lower left hand corner, a military man in uniform and on the lower right a white woman. They were so carefully placed, but also acting- head shakes, smiling, clapping (only losing their composure at rare occasions). See it for yourself.
For Shields and Brooks it was all they could do to hide their amusement by the sheer hollowness of the presentation. Brooks, a republican, only quipped about "I don't thing that we're going to see a guy standing alone in a room any more." They were moderately kind but I felt they submerged their contempt. They then composed themselves and tried to make the most of the material. Check it out.
