Oh dear, I just saw a post elsewhere where someone referred to Palin as Governer Umbridge.
If only she were that smart.
Keith Olbermann referred to her as Tracy Flick from Election.
That's more like it.
One of McCain's staff off-handedly admitted that they'd had to rewrite the speech in a hurry, to make it more "feminine"-sounding. That's right, they had the speech all ready, they just hadn't picked (or vetted) the person to deliver it.
That makes me laugh only because some commentators last night said they had heard from Palin's constituents (that's not the right word if she's not a member of Congress, but I can't think of the right term) that Palin's speech was "Pure Sarah" -- that it was "obvious" that she wrote it, because of its "spitfire" phrases, etc., etc., and they could identify only one or two phrases that were *maybe* written by the McCain team.
FAIL.
It was written by George Bush's lead speech writer. Oh yes.
Link, Brenda?
Although...I don't know why I keep reading stuff! It's all making me so mad!!!
I'm sticking to the actual Liberal Media -- TDS, Gawker: [link]
ION, it's still hot in here, I still have the headache, now I'm starving, and I'm definitely not getting anything done. Bah!
la la la ... I'm going to ignore as much of the campaign as possible ... la la la, I can't hear you!
Sits in Toddson's corner.
TDS was great last night. LOVED the video of O'Reilly praising the Palins handling of Bristol, contrasted with him calling the Spears "pinheads" and saying if a teenage girl gets pregnant, it's because of bad parents.
I also loved the little bit with Rob Riggle hiding under the bathroom sinks.

That was great, as was the way the handled the whole because-she's-a-woman thing.
