Here are my thoughts about Palin’s speech. It’s already 30 minutes into it. Hope it’s not too disjointed to read, but I’m writing it as I hear. Hopefully, I’ll be able to expand the thoughts later. This will update every time I save, it’s my first attempt at live blogging.

Seriously, McCain doesn’t run with the Washington herd? What exactly do you call lobbyists?

Did she know who Harry Reid was prior to making this speech?

Is that booing I hear in the background? And what was up with the “lipstick” joke?

Not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery? That may be the most hypocritical line in this speech.

Being a POW doesn’t qualify you for presidency, ask McCain’s fellow POWs.

Brave men served and suffered to serve their country. The journey from that to the Oval Office…seriously, is she saying that the only reason to elect McCain is to fulfill his personal dreams? How does that qualify him for POTUS?

POW, POW, POW. Yeah, we caught that part. Is there a point? I’m waiting…..

That’s the kind of man we need to see us through the next four years? Someone who can feed you full of shit, knowing it’s unlikely you’ll get out alive, but make you think it can happen anyway? Where do I sign up?

Damn, this is over already?

Haha, KSL radio just called her Sarah McCain!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I was trying to remodel my bathroom as I listened and couldn’t take it anymore. I think I’ll try this liveblogging thing again, soon. It’s very freeing to get my thoughts out as I listen to crap spew from my radio. I bet it would be even better to get my thoughts out when there’s something positive to write.

Overall, my thoughts on the speech are that she knows how to read from a teleprompter and emphasize the right words quite well. When she told the joke….”What’s the difference between a PTA mom and a pitbull? The lipstick.” It became totally obvious she was reading someone else’s words, not just their outline.

Sad.

Is KSL seriously asking if she wrote that herself? Ugh!

Haha, caller is talking about Palin’s cheap shots at Obama’s community service. Ethan is defending her. She’s new, it’s ok. What?? Those are just jokes, PR, marketing.

Not sure who is talking (Ethan?), but he’s saying that his problem with Palin’s speech is that it required temporary suspension of disbelief.

I’m off to figure out how to finish my remodel. Feel free to leave your thoughts below. (We bloggers like that kind of thing.)

A (female) friend just sent me a message saying “I’m embarrassed for women if they really think this is supposed to be a representation of women. I’m really embarrassed for myself.”
