Cut the “someone wrote the speech for her” crap
Photoshop: David Lunde
Right on cue, the Beltway snobs dumped on Gov. Sarah Palin’s brilliantly crafted and delivered speech tonight by immediately pointing out that the speech was “written for her.”
What officeholder — from mayors to the President — doesn’t have speeches written for them?
Now, they have a problem with political candidates who are skilled at reading a teleprompter and delivering great soundbites and revving up large crowds?
Now?
They fear. They hate. They squirm.
Keep bringing it on, Gov. Palin.

Did you notice that crusty disappeared after his little world started to colaspe around him.
And if anyone should know what a lie looks like, it would be trusty.
Hey rusty the village called and said it’s time for you to come home.
I was unable to comment last night after post #494 on the lady’s night thread. It’s just as well, I needed to get to bed. But what I wanted to say has already been said by so many… Sarah delivered. She delivered beyond my wildest expectations. Then to learn that the teleprompter fizzed out, makes it all the more better. God Bless America and God bless Sarah Palin.
Same here. What’s up with that? One day see-dubya leaves and the next day the site goes all huggermugger.
Can we entice see-dubya to return?
A friend passed this link to me. It’s all you need to know about the mind(?) of Rusty. He’s one sad little boy.
WARNING: Contains gratuitous scatalogical references.
I noticed this right away on FOX News after the speech, I think it was Mort, than that horrid woman on the panel… they BOTH talked about how someone else wrote her speech. I’ve never heard them say that after a *male* politician spoke. C’mon! You think Barack Hussein Obama writes his own speeches?
This is nothing but a sexist, assault by the RINOs and Democrats: They cannot stand it that Palin was so powerful… so confident… so intelligent… so qualified to be President (Yes, I’m hoping McCain keels over after the election). Palin has got to be the greatest political orator since Reagan and I bet she will be a *greater* president than Reagan.
Palin had her speech written for her just like all politicians, but she came off like a pro even when she had to improvise. It is obvious Obama has all his speeches written for him and on teleprompter. The difference is Obama can’t think of anything to say when the teleprompter quits working. Palin has had more experience in dealing with real world situations and knows how to answer questions and speak without a teleprompter.
Attacking her for using a speechwriter would be crazy. Attacking her for using Bush’s speechwriter: Totally in bounds.
I think my Reverend Wright example perfectly illustrates this. Who cares that people write Obama’s speeches. But if Reverend Wright had written one, oh boy, you’d be pissed.
This isn’t attacking the presence of the writer. It’s attacking a writer who worked for a politician who is loathed by two-thirds of the population.
The inability to recognize the distinction is willful ignorance because you so badly want to believe Governor Palin is being attacked on all sides for no reason. Nevermind that she was in a secessionist party, wanted to ban books from a public library, is a proven liar (She was a Bridge to Nowhere supporter), and has faced corruption scandals.
It’s all about Bristol and her speechwriter. Riiiight.
(BTW, I thought the speech was ok. She got in some great zingers, but she didn’t really flesh out what she would bring to the ticket. She just talked about McCain’s heroism. Boring. McCain does that on his own any chance he gets.)
These left wing idiots are so stupid and transparent. Everyone has someone write their speeches for them. I just can’t wait to hear what idiocy rolls out of their mouths next.
Rusty: Bad night sleep?
It’s never the speech writer, It’s how the delivery is made. Debate 101 Berkeley 1968
But I thought you like Obama.

sorry folks I have double posting problem???????
More here.
I’m loving it!
Meredith on Today just said,”obviously she had help with the speech.”
Yeah. Was out of gerbils so he borrowed a porcupine.
Seriously, has this self-absorbed, immature, uneducated troll-light ever made a useful contribution?
My wife said that women will be the most vicious of the attackers. It’s in their nature. That is not sarcasm or sexists. Just the truth. All you ladies know it.
There is no way you can read someone else’s words with the emotion this woman put out … It just isn’t possible,
As with Reagan, liberals say the say old tired things. We now know Reagan wrote most of his speeches for himself.
Gov Palin ad libbed the lipstick joke … in mid stream. She was thinking while speaking, adjusting while saying.
Obama can barely talk when the teleprompter shuts down.
BOH: The irony is that Viera most certainly read those words from a teleprompter.
In the words of Obama; a er a hmmm era e hhhhhhhh .and er a hmmmmumer er.
Pure panic. Don’t they have news service where you are located? Or are you too preoccupied clinging to your atheism and arugula?
The leader of that “secessionist” party issued a statement that Palin in fact was NOT a member of that party.
As for the remainder of your comment, it is pure delusion. Keep it up. You are making liberals appear as a collective of people incapable of coherent thought. The difference between the party of people, and the party of the people.
Rusty, you are such a neuron-depleted ditz.
In order for your attempted analogy to Wright being Obama’s speechwriter to have any chance of holding up, Bush himself would have had to have written Palin’s speech.
But Bush didn’t write Palin’s speech, A (not “the“) Bush speechwriter did.
Bush has had numerous speech writers over his two terms, making your claim even weaker.
So…..
BZZZZTTTT!!!! You’ve publicly soiled yourself once again. You should ask lgm or bemusedlib to advise you on how best to clean up — they have plenty of practical experience dealing with it. Apparently a shoehorn is useful for scraping out the dried stuff.
p.s. you make a further logical error by conflating a poor popularity rating with Bush being “despised”. The GOP doesn’t despise GWB. No: “Despised” is for BDS sufferers such as you.
If unpopular means despised, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should be traveling in armed convoys by night, since their numbers are three time worse than Booosh. That work for you?
And in case you haven’t noticed, a pinata party was held here last night, with your head as the target. It’s gotta suck for you to look back at MMs threads to see yourself being so totally pwned.
I’d ask you to lick you wounds but being a liberal you would probably try instead to perform an unnatural act upon yourself.
After watching the MSM this morning, I don’t think their truly biased. They PISSED OFF because they didn’t create her.
Watched the same show, glad Brit jumped on that snowball, and I’m disappointed in Kondracke…
Could the jaw flapping about who wrote her speech indicate the expectation that she was capable of writing it herself? An acknowledgment that she is a formidable opponent?? My belief – stickin to it…
Sarah could sell freezers to Eskimos. Alaska on the job training/ sarc
Folks, Rusty – like LGM – is only here to incite and drum up business for own blogs by making himself the center of attention on every thread he can; just scroll past his posts and ignore his often childish rants and jealous venting over the fact that the country’s first female VP is a Republican.
DBN, uh, McCain-Palin is going to lose.
All the people talking about a McCain presidency kind of proves how deluded the base is.
Every Republican I know knows this is a lost election.
All you’re doing is getting me excited to post here in November.
FDC: Well played! Hope kRusty’s SCHIP is paid up.
Man, I am pumped this morning! Sixteen years of hard-working, straight shootin,’ glass ceiling shatterin’ Sarah Palin – our first Republican female veep and first Republican female President!
and like the today show hosts don’t have teleprompters in front of them?? yep you bet they do….and scripted questions on paper to ask their guests…give me a break…stupid idiots…
The left is so dense – so blatantly, massively hypocritical, I’m shocked they have collapesed into a black hole.
Oops. Can say black hole?
Let me guess they wanted Lieberman?
John Ansell is not every Republican.
I don’t know who John Ansell is….
And, you’re right, the Republicans I know aren’t social conservatives. They are very much not on the Palin train are disappointed in McCain’s pick. They are, however, pragmatic. And they see the writing on the wall.
I said before Palin was on the ticket that every macro indicator points to a Democratic victory. With the economy tanking and people sick of war, there was no way the GOP could pull it out unless the Dems did something very stupid like nominate Edwards.
He’s the commenter around here who will never vote for McAmnesty even if it means an Obama presidency.
Also, just so you don’t think every criticism against Palin is about her daughter getting knocked up or some phantom criticism about her not writing her own speeches…
Palin said yesterday that families with special needs children could have a friend in the White House. Yet she slashed special ed funding in Alaska by 62%. Some friend.
Her repeated lie that she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere is especially galling since she is on the record supporting it before it became politically unpopular in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Then there’s the corruption snafus, the terror of having a president who wants to ban books from public libraries, and her involvement with the AIP secessionist movement. Oh, and her lack of qualifications.
So pretending that there aren’t real criticisms of this candidate is obtuse.
Rusty, go change your diaper.
You really are starting to stink now.
The program she cut was the Alaska Challenge Youth Academy Program. Here’s the description from your source:
That sure doesn’t sound like “special needs” to me.
That article is 100% opinion and conjecture with no supporting documentation. If you’re going to make a definitive statement, please back it up with facts.
If this is about the trooper, this is ridiculous and has been proven so. It’s just a smear attempt, not an actual scandal.
Do you really think all books are appropriate in a public library?
Nobody has actaully stated what her involvement is, just that she’s “involved”. Let me guess, she was also a blatant thespian in high school.
Again, what lack of qualifications? Mayoral and gubernatorial experience is actual executive experience. What exactly does a “community organizer” do that qualifies him?
When you show me a real criticism, I’ll consider it. Meanwhile, these made up non-issues aren’t going to fool anyone, despite the media’s hopes that they will.
Seems to me as if someone’s mom called in to school to let their little poo-butt stay home. I guess they just weren’t feeling so well after watching their Empty Suit get so perfectly deflated last night.
Oh well…if they were happy about Palin, then we should be worried. The fact that they have to dog so deep and still come up with less than what is in BOTH their candidate’s closets is mind numbing at best.
Even the MSM still doesn’t get it. They and the trolls think that we are upset about them asking legitimate questions concerning her political past. They completely obscure and ignore what they have done concerning her children, her family, and her personally.
Oh well…they still think we were upset at Clinton because of sex.
Liberals…they just don’t get it.
Keep it up with your listed talking points, nitwit. That goes for your so-called “Republican friends”, which is the liberals equivalent of saying “some of my best friends are ….fill in the blank”.
What does Kos do – email this crap to you morons every morning?
Anyone that is voting for Obama is no Republican and never was. Anyone who thinks they have “Republican friends” who are voting for Obama…I have a nice patch of land in the Sahara I would like to sell, perfect for a harbor.
Young Rusty, the writing is graffiti, the wall is a restroom partition and you’re tapping like Savion Glover.
Go take a walk in the park. Clear your head, but keep your trousers up.

I taught special ed for nearly twelve years and you’re right, that program is/was NOT special ed!
In fact, it sounds like one of those “feel good” programs liberal universities push on public schools to give the appearance of being pro-active in public education, when all they’re really doing is lessening actual learning with mindless drivel while, at the same time, decreasing the amounts of funding available to worthwhile academic programs that really teach, like those focus on compensatory reading and mathematics skills for special needs students.
Besides, as a large part of special ed is funded through Social Security reimbursements to state-/local school systems, the last thing any state’s governor would or could cut is special ed.
Oops! Almost forgot – Yay Vice President Palin!
And the “slashed special-ed” lie has been thoroughly debunked here.
