There’s that old saying about the media building you up before they tear you down.
It would appear, when it comes to Sarah Palin, they got the order of sequence reversed.
“Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown,” Ms. Palin told the delegates in a speech that sought to eviscerate Mr. Obama, as delegates waved signs that said “I love hockey moms.” “And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
As the crowd cheered its approval, Ms. Palin went on: “I might add that in small towns we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening.”
Conveniently forgetting about the near week of gleeful Republican rips issued during the DNC Convention, the liberal line today is that Sarah Palin and the Wednesday Night Club was too mean. If that’s all they’ve got, it may be a long stretch run to the general election for Democrats.
Her speech was damn good. Guliani’s was really good too. They both took jabs (and uppercuts) at all the smears aimed at her thus far.
Rudy and Sarah, like Fred! the night before, were on fire last night. And if they think they’ve had it rough so far, then just wait. They’ll be facing smear after smear, as they call them. We call it using the facts against them.
Lipstick!
