PALIN'S SPEECH...WHATEVER!
WHY WERE MY CHAMPIONS ON MSNBC GUSHING OVER THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PALIN'S SPEECH AND HOW SHE SCORED POINTS AGAINST OBAMA/BIDEN? DOES ANYONE THINK THE WORDS SHE SPOKE, OR THE THOUGHTS SHE EXPRESSED WERE HERS, OR THAT SHE HAD ANY INPUT INTO WHAT WAS TO BE SAID OR HOW IT WAS TO BE PRESENTED? I DON'T THINK SO GIVEN HER 30 SECOND TENURE ON THE STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS AND HOW THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO POSITION THE PALIN BRAND. ANY WELL SPOKEN WOMAN (AND THERE ARE MANY THAT FAR EXCEED MOTHER MOOSE'S QUALIFICATIONS)THAT COULD HAVE DELIVERED THE SAME ADDRESS WITH SIMILAR RESULTS. IS IT POSSIBLE OUR MEDIA HEROES GOT BAMBOOZLED BY A SLICK SPEECHWRITER, OR WAS MSNBC, CNN OR ANY OF THE MAJOR NETWORKS AFRAID TO CHALLENGE HER APPARENT ELOQUENCE OR LEGITIMACY AS A VP CANDIDATE BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN? WELL GUESS WHAT...THE REPUBLICANS AREN'T GOING TO HOLD BACK ON OUR MINORITY CANDIDATE AND WE SHOULDN'T HOLD BACK ON THEIRS! AND MAYBE IT IS TRUE THAT ONLY IN AMERICA CAN ANYONE BECOME PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT...I HOPE NOT.

We all understand that the news people (MSNBC included) have a ratings interest in ensuring we have a riveting campaign, so they are loathe to criticize too aggressively. Palin is in for a bumpy ride in the next two months (the Republicans can't hide her forever) when she has to veer from the prepared text, and no matter how many times McCain uses the word 'change', Obama is the change agent in this election.
This week, I have been getting my talking heads relief from the Daily Show because they comically present the things we're all thinking.
