Scandalous: PALIN HAS A SPEECHWRITER!!!elevenses!
Well, stop the damned presses:
My sense is that what most Americans will remember about Sarah Palin last night was her poise. She’s been put through the spin cycle for a week, her family has been dragged through the mud, and she came out last night with spunk, if not fire. This was just a speech, but oh, what a speech. It was important that she present herself well last night, and there is little question she did. The leftie talking points about the unremarkable fact that she had speechwriter (and a good one — well done, Scully) is evidence that they are concerned about that poise. Can’t attack the presentation? Then belittle the presenter. But given that the entirety of Obama’s persona, apart from the uplifted chin, is his speechifying, I have a hard time seeing how this line of attack helps them. Does anyone really think that Obama writes all of his speeches? If they spend ten minutes watching him speak off the cuff, they would be disabused of that notion.
They’re desperate. The Messiah hasn’t been able to close the deal with anyone but hard-Left radicals and the motley-fool aggregation of sniveling America-haters that are now the base of the Social Democrat Party. Palin breathed new life into what they had assumed was a moribund ideology. The problem was never with the ideas, but with the Repubs’ abandonment of them. Palin, with her “servant’s heart” line among plenty of others, brought those ideas back to the fore, and she has a lot of people, myself included, feeling hopeful about seeing some real challenge presented to the DC leviathan’s ever-expanding control over our lives, for the first time in a long, dark while.
Besides, everybody knows that the Lamb of Chicago gets his speeches delivered straight from God, on stone tablets, from atop a mountain.
And while we’re perusing the Corner, howzabout this blast from Mark Steyn:
I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin – whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin – as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn’t worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.
How’s that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your “devoted husband John Edwards” routine?
Once more: Just desserts, baby. Taste them. But how long can it be before some deranged left-wing nut like Sully or any random DKos mouthbreather comes completely unglued and tries to claim that Old Dead Media’s despicable assault on Palin and her family, having backfired so badly as to have crisped their eyebrows, is actually proof positive that they’re in the tank for McCain?

kbiel - maybe it isn't Rove; maybe they are just mindless chickens after all? And Rove just recognized that and planned accordingly?
