They used to have this cool ritual after games where the oil-rich boosters would form two lines facing each other. Watts was a high-profile quarterback on several good Oklahoma teams. He considered moving on to the National Football League, but realized that he'd have to take a cut in pay, plus he wouldn't get to play against North Texas State and Missouri. He has escaped felony prosecution on more than one matter by the skin of his teeth and with the help of some very powerful backers in Oklahoma. The GOP is risking a huge embarrassment by constantly putting this idiot out front.
Floor fights over the seating of certain delegations.
The balloons were probably numbered as to the order in which they should fall. I watched the Fox News Network. They, at least, made fun of stuff. They even had former GOP Presidential hopeful Gary Bauer lobbing verbal grenades at Bush over his reluctance to mention family values. Frankly, I don't blame Dubya on this one.
