I couldn't watch Giuliani and Romney--I know I'll get the highlights on the Daily Show/Colbert Report tonight, and that's enough for me. I make myself keep up on what the Republicans are saying so I know enough to be informed, but I'm not that much of a masochist!
I think the speech was entirely written by Bush's speechwriter--but to me that doesn't matter; she delivered it so she's responsible for what it said. And the ad hominem against Obama was so ironic coming from such an unexperienced person herself--I totally agree with you about the diss against community organizers. Hello, as one good commentary on the speech pointed out, people become community organizers because the political establishment is failing them! This idea that McCain/Palin is a ticket for change is SO completely laughable.
And I would have a hell of a lot more respect for the privacy of Bristol Palin if her mom didn't keep using her family as a political talking point. You really can't have it both ways; either you keep your family out of the political spotlight or you don't. And that's not the only hypocritical part of her speech. Like I believe she mentioned that as a parent of a special-needs child she'd be on the side of families like her--when she's on record as vetoing funding for schools for special needs children!!!
