spot the minority @ rnc

[teflep]

You won't. They don't have any as they are soul-less bigots. Ywia

[KB]

Maybe they'll pan on the delegates from Puerto Rico.

[teflep]

Oh, Steele has to be there. And Rubio. There you are.

Is John Stewart all reruns this week?!?!

[laurenpetro]

Cain is a no-show?

He was last week -- he better not be this week! I can't imagine he would miss the GOP Convention. If he is, I will be very very sad.

[basilosaurus]

We started playing that as a drinking game a few days ago when they replayed Palin's 2008 speech. It sucked; we stayed sober. We did spot one black guy, but we figured that the security guard didn't count.

There was no Daily Show last night. There will be a new one tonight. They're doing a Tuesday-Friday schedule this week on account of the convention.

FEAR NOT!

Mia love. Also black. Does she not "count"?

tef, i think you need to lighten up on this, big time.

soon enough you get to play "spot the over 50 white guy" at the DNC and we'll all play along. cris-cross my heart.

[wawa]

What are the rules? Is it only minorities in the audience? So staff and people on stage don't count?

I am quite light on this, I assure you.

That's the way we play. Invited tokens don't count.

So this is the perfect drinking game for those who don't like to drink.

She'd be the first black female repub voted into congress. Her family came here from Haiti with no money....I find her interesting.

Yes, join in!

Back in 2008 during the debates, we had to have juice and coffee drinking games since we were in Japan, and they aired at like 9am.

[mominatrix]

I wish I could find video of it, but I still remember Chris Rock as a floor correspondent to Comedy Central, covering the Republican Convention of 1992...The year GHWB was up for re-nomination, and the convention was notoriously, infamously White. Molly Ivins said it best, that Pat Buchanan's speech probably "sounded better in the original German."

You can imagine the hilarity.

[GailGoldie]

We just saw a black guy IN A COWBOY HAT! What kind of points do we get for that??? (he was in the audience!)

The Googles are telling me that it wasn't 1992, but 1996 that Chris Rock was at the RNC for CC.

Oh, well, I can't be right 100% of the time.

Nope. Try again. Memphis has a local elected official who is a Dem and wears cowboy hats and boots. And he's not from Texas. Go Figure.
