RNC Final Night Top 10

Rnc10-Wtc
The Evil-Doers and Haters video

Rnc10-Sp-Jsm
No surprise, Palin gets between McCain and the cameras after Mac's speech.
Meanwhile, McCain's gesture describes whose convention it really was.

Rnc10-Cindy-Theresa
Cindy with Mother Teresa

Rnc10-Green-John
Use of giant rear projection images puts sickly green background
behind Mac again for first 10 minutes of acceptance speech.
(Here's the real backstory -- nailed by a BAGreader first, I believe, if you check the comments.)
(And if you haven't seen it, watch the Colbert Green Screen Challenge from the 2:30 mark.)

Dnc10-Bridget2-1 Dnc10-Bridget1-1
After all the GOP bluster about the exploitation of candidate's children, Cindy
actually exploited Bridget and her adoption to boost her own humanitarian cred.

Rnc10-Black-Faces
The networks managed to make it seem like there were plenty of black faces among the delegates.

Rnc10-Mitchell
MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell thought her near-drowning by balloon was an innocent thing.
No Andrea, Palin and her religious right posse are completely pissed off and they really were trying to drown you.

Dnc10-Palin-Ebay  Rnc10-Cindy-Plane
You know that plane Palin sold on eBay?  I think Cindy bought it.

Rnc10-Mom
Proper etiquette: When your Mom's to your right, you should acknowledge her by reading off the teleprompter to your right.

Rnc10-Sara-Moose
Who could resist Sarah in pearls and the paramilitary-looking outfit. (Can anyone ID the uniform?).
And, of course, the moose.

Rnc10-Lindsey-
O.K, it's an eleventh. I just had to say:
I hope I don't see that whiney little war-mongering Lindsey Graham ever bear his teeth again!
