Notes on Night 3 of the RNC

1. Zell Miller was pissed. But in a dignified way, of course.
2. Zell Miller, when ticked off, looks like a cross between Bitter Beer Face Man and Alan Alda.
3. In a duel between Chris Matthews and Zell Miller, my money’s on Miller. You know he’s handled guns in the past, whereas Matthews may have, at some point in the past, owned a Daisy Red Rider and may have even fired it after noting his attempts to browbeat squirrels to death were falling contemptibly short of their mark.
4. Republican delegates need to either start attending a) more protests or b) more professional basketball games. I mean, everyone knows the “tune” and cadence to “Aiiiirrr balll! Aiiirrr balll!” Just translate that to “Fliiiipp floooppp!” and hey, instant cheer. How hard can it be?
5. Apparently, it’s even harder to find Republicans that can dance without drawing the attention of nearby EMTs on the lookout for potential seizure victims.
6. “Four more years” can be an endearing chant, but only if delivered in an Austrian accent: “Foah moah yeeaz! Foah moah yeeaz!”
7. Harlem Boys Choir: tear-jerking performance. Brooks n’ Dunn: not so much.

More tomorrow.
UPDATE:
Here’s a link to a clip of the Miller-on-Matthews confrontation. It’s priceless.
