protein wisdom’s Republican National Convention coverage, 8

I was scheduled to do a brief 5-minute spot on Laura Ingraham’s radio show early this morning, but I slept through it after polishing off several bottles of bourbon last night with a pair of Wyoming delegates who kept giving me grief about my surf shop cowboy hat. 

I feel bad about missing Laura’s show—I sent her over a huge box of Raisinettes in lieu of a personal apology—but c’mon:  how often do you get to spend time with a couple of drunk cowboys lassoing Times Square hookers with a rope made from shoelaces knotted to a half pack of cherry Twizzlers?

update:  Hmm.  Should’ve sent Laura a gyro sandwich, maybe…?

  1. Must be the hangover, but you weren’t very clear here, Jeff. Was the bag of Twizzlers the bait, or part of the rope ? ‘Cause any real cowboy knows a hooker will chew right through a Twizzler to get free.

  2. Must have been interesting watching Jessica Cutler “floss” with the rest of the package.  I don’t even want to know what happened after that.  Do I?

  3. When I served in Vietnam, I and my band of brothers who served on Swift boats would troll for hookers on the Mekong River as we came under heavy fire from the enemy.

    Did I mention that I served in Vietnam?  That means that you can’t criticize me.

  4. Tom Wolfe nailed it with “social x-ray”
