" So. Night one of the Republican National Convention is behind us, and it was really something.  I&amp;#039;m not going to get into Chachi, or the guy from Janet Jackson&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Love Will Never Do Without You&amp;quot; video. I&amp;#039;m not going to get into the wisdom or ethics of allowing a grieving mother to litigate her child&amp;#039;s death onstage, or of the presumptive nominee calling in to The O&amp;#039;Reilly Factor to upstage her. I&amp;#039;m not going to get into Bob Dole hiking his pants three inches north of the nipple line.  What I&amp;#039;d like to address here is the transition between Rudy Giuliani&amp;#039;s speech and Donald Trump&amp;#039;s introduction of his wife. Because hoo boy.   Rudy Giuliani spent seventeen minutes yelling about how Americker is the strongest country in the history of the world but should also be shitting its pants in fear. From there, GE Smith and the Saturday Night Sometime In 1953 Band launched into noted American Van Morrison&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Brown Eyed Girl.&amp;quot; And then, before we could get to the part about makin&amp;#039; love in the green grass behind the stadium (as many delegates were arranging to do, on Grindr), the music stopped. The stage went dark, and then was illuminated by an eerie, misty-green light from below. And then, after a few awkward seconds because this guy really needs to work on his entrances, Trump appeared. In silhouette, like it was Wrestlemania, or the &amp;quot;Respect The Cock&amp;quot; scene in Magnolia.   This was not the weird part.  The weird part was that this transition was set to &amp;quot;We Are The Champions.&amp;quot;  The weird part was the arena full of Republicans singing along to Queen.  An arena full of people singing along to Queen, when their official party platform can be characterized as &amp;quot;strongly anti-Freddie Mercury.&amp;quot; An arena full of people singing along to Queen, when their party&amp;#039;s presumptive Vice Presidential nominee said marriage equality would bring about &amp;quot;societal collapse.&amp;quot;  An arena full of people singing along to Queen, when their party&amp;#039;s presumptive Vice Presidential nominee wants to pull funding from organizations that treat people with the disease that killed Freddie Mercury, unless they &amp;quot;provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.&amp;quot;  Basically, an arena full of people saying &amp;quot;Listen, Freddie: we love your song and we&amp;#039;ll use its message to our advantage, but if you want our actual support, you&amp;#039;re going to have to behave more like the guys in Florida Georgia Line.&amp;quot;  Disgusting. And then, of course, Donald Trump approached the microphone and the first thing he said was &amp;quot;Oh, we&amp;#039;re gonna win so big, folks,&amp;quot; and then he introduced his wife, who recited Michelle Obama&amp;#039;s speech from the 2008 Democratic National Convention.  Also, the use of &amp;quot;We Are The Champions&amp;quot; was unauthorized.       An unauthorised use at the Republican Convention against our wishes - Queen \u2014 Queen (@QueenWillRock) July 19, 2016    So anyway, things are going great. Keep it up, guys.
