John Boehner was at the bar, before and after his speech about bar jokes. No kidding.

Speaker John Boehner's speech was so sad tonight. Half-empty stadium, barely any applause. And he's 2nd in line to the presidency.
— Russell Schaffer (@RussOnPolitics) August 29, 2012
This Boehner speech reminds me - "The Walking Dead" is coming back in October.So that's another total disappointment.

“You know, they call this America’s Comeback Team," John Boehner says. And by "they," he means the people who vetted his speech.

@scottsdalesteve I think Janine Turner "jumped the shark" when she endorsed/supported Sarah Palin 4 yrs ago. Wretched example of a woman.

If your only real applause line is "I'm Scott Walker," maybe you should save it for further into the speech. Or maybe the end.

GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying "This is how we feed animals."
— David Shuster (@DavidShuster) August 29, 2012@takeactionnews#TAN
Talking Points Memo
The CNN official declined to confirm specific details of the incident to TPM but generally confirmed an account posted on Twitter by former MSNBC and Current anchor David Shuster: “GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying ‘This is how we feed animals.’”
It is not clear whether the alleged culprit was a delegate or attending the convention in some other capacity.
In a written statement, CNN addressed the matter but divulged few details: “CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”
From Politico
The RNC referred POLITICO to GOP Convention spokesperson Kyle Downey for comment. . . .
UPDATE: GOP convention spokesman Kyle Downey tells POLITICO, "Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated."
It will be interesting to see how Wolf and Candy try to smooth over the racist attack on their own
