So we got our Palin cherries busted tonight, I guess...

...I didn't listen to all of it, but I did catch some of it on the AM radio waves while fetching some I.P.A. and a package of Theraflu for my wife. Before she took the stage I told everyone I know that her speech would be well-received by the people standing in the room, and it was. But that's simply because the people standing in the room are suckers for sophomoric pot shots and...well...lying.

Why didn't I watch it? Because I know what I need to know about Palin. And I wasn't going to learn anything other than what the Rovian douchenozzels at McCain's campaign have trained her to teach me. After all, they did write the majority of the speech (minus the scant personal anecdotes about Alaskan oil and lies about her taste for pork) before she was picked.

"There was a flutter of attention when McCain campaign manager Rick Davis told a group of Post reporters and editors yesterday that his team was having to rework the vice presidential acceptance speech because the original draft, prepared before Gov. Sarah Palin was chosen, was too "masculine." While we all wondered to ourselves what might make a speech masculine or feminine, no one batted an eye at the underlying revelation: that the campaign was writing the nominee's speech before knowing who the nominee would be."

Now, I know that the Obama team wrote Biden's speech. And I know that it isn't anything new for the party and nominee to edit the speakers' talking points. However I think the fact that the GOP's was writing the VP speech without any regard to the nominee speaks volumes about the paltry substance of the speech and the expectations of the people BUYING INTO it. Do you get it people? The conservative arguments are so predictable, that it doesn't make any difference WHO parrots them. Like my wife said..."It wouldn't matter if he picked ELMO".

This post has been brought to you today by the letter I....for idiotic.
