Patrick got the feeling that Palin's Republican base was disappointed in her overall performance, however. "When she didn't take a strong stand against abortion or against giving civil rights to gays, they were actually visibly upset -- like they had been sold out."

Patrick and his friends, however, had a great time playing Counterintelpro during the viewing. For instance, when Palin said, "And as for who coined that central war on terror being in Iraq, it was the General Petraeus and Al Qaeda, both leaders there and it's probably the only thing that they're ever going to agree on, but that it was a central war on terror is in Iraq. You don't have to believe me or John McCain on that. I would believe Petraeus and the leader of Al Qaeda," Patrick shouted out, "That's right! Let's believe Al Qaeda!"

And when Palin took a hard line on Iran, Patrick gleefully shouted, "Yeah! Let's do it! Let's bomb 'em back to the Stone Age!"

And then Palin herself arrived at the rally. "At first they had some Barbie doll type lip-syncing karaoke songs onstage and actually dancing around in go-go boots but then a smoke machine started up and Palin's 'Country First' bus actually drove onto the stage. It was just like a Motorhead concert!" Guess I missed all the fun.

The only other thing exciting that happened to me in St Louis was that on the way home my plane got bumped out of line at the airport by Air Force One, as Bush flew into town to host yet another Republican fund-raiser. Am I the only one in America that gets upset that Bush is always out raising money to help clean, gut and field-dress our country -- and these trips are always being paid for by the taxpayers' dime?

And with regard to the inconvenience of Americans having to sit on runways forever or having their cities shut down in order to make our president [sic] feel safe, I'd like to quote my friend Stewart. "If Bush's people can't provide security for him any other way than by inconveniencing millions of people or shutting down airports, then GWB should just stay at home."
