Well dears, the convention is over. I had intended to write so many posts keeping you up to date on what was what, but what with this and that, and that and this, I somehow could not find the time. I’m writing you a long post with all of my adventures, from the minor Paulite revolution I fomented to the rather odd orgy I ended up at in the Bachmann’s suite. It was remarkably like the video above.
I blame grindr. More on all that later.
In the meantime, I note that I also omitted to follow up on my thread to find the best personal ad from the convention. I checked on my gays every day and, frankly, I was a little disappointed. The boys of Tampa just didn’t seem to be putting in much effort to snare some Republican arse, and the Republican Youth seemed to be keeping it indoors at the convention. I popped into one toilet at the Times Forum and all the lightbulbs had been removed. Thankfully I had my little torch. I’ve never seen so many lily white white arses moving quite so quickly before.
Anyway, aside from the Gay Joe Cool that JGabriel found, the only ad that really made me laugh was this one:
Much love. Have a drink on me. I’ll be back to you once I’ve managed to get Michele Bachman out of my closet so I can check out and get on my plane out of this shithole.

It’s probably a funny ad, but the image is so small it is unreadable.

One upside of the GOP convention: it dragged Billmon the blogger out of retirement, if only for one day:

I hope you made sure they all doubled bagged it. so many unpleasant viruses circulate at republican gatherings (and that’s only the politicians!)

@Amir Khalid: I can’t believe it’s not American.
BC bud makes you think a lot of things are good ideas, even when they aren’t.

There should be a song*. And, of course, now that I look for it on YouTube, I find that there is:

Going back to the ad — Why? Why does she want to beard gay Republicans? For the drinks? Blackmail opportunities? Blogging material? Despite my better angels, I find myself kind of hoping for the latter.

I will be your beard, your lady
I can hide away the gay
I will tell them you’re so manly
Cash, credit, or debit today?

@JoyfulA: Yes, I can read the title, but I bet the text of the ad itself is also quite relevant/funny.
If Cole can post huge pics of his critters, surely the other posters can manage to post legible screenshots.
