No way. Thanks for the offer though.
Speaking of which
The Democrats’ roll call showed America’s beauty and diversity. The Republicans’ roll call . . . did not.
Each state’s chairman or representative appeared in front of the same bland backdrop decorated with the hashtag #RNC2020. The camera’s framing trapped each speaker in an uninspiring rectangle. The only reminder that the Republicans were live from a Charlotte ballroom were the disembodied cheers that would periodically erupt in the background — perfunctory, desperate noise from a greatly reduced throng.The view of each speaker’s face was so uncomfortably intimate that you could see the perspiration shining on one forehead after another. You could tell how close people shave and how diligently they floss. And frankly, it just seemed to be a cruel and unnecessary act to put these civics die-hards under such a high-definition microscope.
But then, the longer the roll call ticked on, the more you realized that the Republicans had no interest in putting a gloss on their proceedings. They were reveling in the sweaty urgency of their law-and-order, build-a-wall, liberty-and-justice-for-me message. It was just fine that man after man after man after man felt very comfortable expounding on the sanctity of a fetus without mentioning the well-being and autonomy of the woman who carries it.

Guilfoyle in a nutshell.
It's not about the fetish, it's about the man. He is a huge hypocrite with this, and enriched his life by ruining lives over more benign things and didn't even bother living up to the stupid standards he made his students adhere to. He hated Muslims and LGBT - so much so he offered Carrie Perejean, a controversial Miss USA 2009 contestant a full scholarship because she said she didn't agree with gay rights.

April 2009: Falwell unilaterally offered a full scholarship to a beauty pageant contestant who spoke out against LGBTQ rights. After then-Miss California USA Carrie Prejean spoke out against same-sex marriage during the Miss USA Pageant, Falwell hosted her at the university's convocation. He then offered to provide a free ride to the then-San Diego Christian College junior if she transferred to Liberty, saying at the convocation, "I get so tired of Christians getting berated over their beliefs," and calling Prejean a "hero for what she did."

I was busy watching my Flyers spit the bit in a 4-0 loss to the Islanders in game one of their second round NHL playoff series to bother with the RNC last night (hell, I would've watched Flex Seal commercials on an endless loop over the RNC), but I've read on Twitter this morning that the "highlight" of the first night was Kimberly Guilfoyle screaming her head off like a madwoman. I can't imagine what lunacy night two has in store.
