Did you enjoy Mathew Scully's speech last night?

Question

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/th...

It was originally written for a male VP, but was altered a bit for Palin and her family.

What orchestration. Did you see the little daughter wipe spit into the baby's hair? Must have taken hours of practice and a cue from the cameraman to get that one right.

One sign of how good it was: The Obama campaign was reduced to praising Palin's delivery and attacking the speechwriter, Matt Scully, because he worked for George W. Bush. Lame. Better to have not put out any statement at all. I'm told -- and was told before the speech -- that she had a strong hand in writing and rewriting the speech, working on for several hours over the past three days. And one of the loudest applause lines in the entire speech was her joke -- which Bill Kristol previewed here two days ago -- that the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is lipstick, was line she improvised when delegates from Michigan, all wearing hockey jerseys, applauded loudly at her initial mention of being a hockey mom.

Answer 2

Yes I did.  Do you know who writes Obama's speeches?  Didn't think so.

Did anyone actually think these speeches were written by the speakers themselves?

Answer 3

They are still cleaning the f***s off of Obama this afternoon after Palin and Rudy got finished with him. ha ha
