Palin's speech

Here, courtesy of the New York Times, is the transcript of Sarah Palin's speech last night at the RNC.

And Here, courtesy of Comedy Central's "Indecision 08" website, is a list of 17 or so words not included in her speech (I say "or so" because one could argue that things like "brother-in-law" are more than one word).

Did anybody read all of that garbage about how the speech was originally written for Mitt Romney somebody more masculine than Palin? I mean, first of all, it's not like anybody writes their own speeches. That's why they employ speech writers. Come on. Second, forgive me, but don't you think every speech a potential presidential speech writer has written up until now would have been written for a man? I'm a girl and at least a moderate feminist and all that, but it's not like history repeats itself in terms of sexism or anything. Finally, honestly, how effeminate/masculine can a speech really be?? It's not like, if Romney were delivering it, he'd be talking about bitches and hoes, but since Palin's the one speaking, she's going to talk about knitting and nail polish.



:::edit::: uhh, she did too say "economy," "nuclear," and "talking snake."

...Just kidding about that last one.
