Palin's Speech Was Even Better Than We Knew
Even liberals have been forced to agree that Sarah Palin hit one out of the park with her speech at the Republican convention last night. But her performance was even more impressive than we realized at the time:
Halfway through Sarah Palin's speech tonight at the RNC, people following the speech noticed she was deviating from the prepared text.
According to sources close to the McCain campaign, the teleprompter continued scrolling during applause breaks. As a result, half way through the speech, the speech had scrolled significantly from where Governor Palin was in the speech. The malfunction also occurred during Rudy Giuliani's speech, explaining his significant deviations from his speech.
Unfazed, Governor Palin continued, from memory, to deliver her speech without the teleprompter cued to the appropriate point in her speech.
Contrast this to Barack Obama who, when last his teleprompter malfunctioned, was left stuttering before a crowd unable to advance his speech until the problem was resolved.
Meanwhile, Palin knew that the entire media was hanging on her every syllable, eagerly waiting for her to make the slightest slipup so they could tear her to pieces. But I don't recall her saying "uh" even once, in stark contrast to the Wizard.
Saracuda is in a different league than her opponents. No wonder the media is willing to sacrifice the last of its threadbare credibility in a desperate attempt to destroy her.

On a tip from Lyle.

This lady rocks and is the game changer/winner the "fighter pilot" intended to have hit Obama's 6 out of the sun.
Enjoy the sudden stop at the end of your "Palin" induced fall Obama.

Sarah Palin? Don't you mean Sarah Pawlenty?
Anyway, she's just a woman with an annoying voice, from a shitty state that nobody cares about, with a knocked-up daughter. And she has zero foreign-policy experience.
Watching you douchebags defend her is going to be a lot of fun.

Markus, watching the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the left come January will be even more fun. Trust me on this - you could sell it on pay-per-view!
I don't know how much fun watching people defend Sarah Palin can be, since there's really not that much to defend her from. Obama, on the other hand, has a long and sordid list of terrorists, Marxists, and extremist mentors and supporters, as well as the usual Chicago shady dealing. Not to mention zero foreign policy experience.

The smell of defeat, from the Daily Kos.
Perhaps they need a new strategy. I'm thinking the whole DailyKos false rumor thing has run its course and will only backfire more and more from here on out.
Palins son off to Iraq or face drug charge? (5+ / 0-)
Has anyone heard the 'rumour' that Palins son was given an alternative to jail time for a drug charge to join the effort in Iraq? don't want to spread rumours but I heard that today from someone who lives in Alaska.

Markus, you really are pathetic and hate- filled.
You dismiss Alaska as "A shitty state that nobody cares about," yet you have the gall to call US douchebags!
That's what's know as the pot calling the kettle black.
Boy, you liberals sure are lovers of tolerance and compassion, aren't you?

As a staunch conservative and sitting Moonbat Inspector General I took it upon my self to "sniff" out the moonbats that are lirking within the bowels of out fair land. As a way to ease into my reconiscence mission I first started at the lib-puke fest Shakersville. May I say, not in a shy way, that the lib hate meter just raised 80 degrees following Governor Sarah Palin's history making speech last night at the RNC (is it a coincidence that Hussein and Sarah both have a historical "speech" under their belts. This fact alone should qualify her for VP). Boy are these libs nasty. You tell them that their messiah is a fake and a fraud and that their VP is a selfish parent who leaves his motherless kids with crack heads or the like and these moonbats say, and I quote, "F**k off." Can you believe this coming from people who call themselves progressives or other such nonsense?
Anyway I will be making further missions in the future and it will be my pleasure to report back on any more moonbat sightings.

I think Markus is right. No one cares about Alaska, we have 56 other states to worry about. As far as her daughter being pregnant, that could be a huge distraction. Liberal nutjobs will obsess over it endlessly until their heads explode, 'Scanners' style. And her lack of foreign policy expertise overshadows the fact that Barry O' isn't even qualified to manage a 7-11, where you have to have a slight Indian accent, according to some.
Posted by: Smoke TNT at September 4, 2008 9:21 AM
Markus if you really thought that you then you wouldn't be on a conservative site spewing such filth. If you think she's such a bad pick for VP then why aren't you somewhere celebrating what is SURE to be a Democratic victory?
Posted by: cowlove at September 4, 2008 9:26 AM
Hit one out of the park, indeed, and she had to, just to get any credit at all. So much for skepticism in the media. If they were on the field, Post Turtle Obama could flub a grounder to the shortstop, who would throw it to center, who would toss it over the wall. Then the commentators would all have an O-gasm about his home run.
Posted by: Mr Evilwrench at September 4, 2008 9:34 AM
Hey Markus!
Mom is home and is she ever pissed at what's been happening.
She's going to take you, the obamessiah, and michelle out to the woodshed and whip your butts!
Posted by: bjd at September 4, 2008 9:42 AM
I was born in Alaska. I've also been to Delaware, Arizona, and Illinois. As far as "Sh*tholes" go - Delaware and Illinois are just behind New Jersey at the top of that particular list. Alaska and Arizona aren't even ON the list.
You ever been to Alaska or Arizona, Markus?
Defending Sarah would be a real waste of my time - she obviously does that quite well all by herself. Without a teleprompter.
Does it kind of make you wonder if the teleprompter wasn't deliberately sabotaged? That's definitely a stunt a silly liberal would pull.
Posted by: Jimbo at September 4, 2008 9:52 AM
Markus, why is it that Pelosi and Reid are so adamantly against exploration and harvesting of the natural resources of that "shitty state that nobody cares about?" Will you please write to them and set them straight? Millions of Americans are counting on you to convince the Democrat leaders, as these harworking citizens are suffering the high cost of transportation and heating their homes.

Here's a photo of Markus surfing the net.
When his mom got home, she was pissed that he hadn't picked up his room, but at least he had his clothes in the laundry.

from a shitty state that nobody cares about
At least one honest lefty admits the contempt with which all liberals regard real America. As far they're concerned, any bridge that doesn't lead to Manhattan is a "bridge to nowhere."
Posted by: V the K at September 4, 2008 10:06 AM
Markus is a perfect embodiment of the liberal mindset towards the other 80% of Americans that don't reside in metropolitan cities. I hate to break it to you buddy, but those of us in 'flyover country' are what make up America. You and your elitist NYC buddies are the MINORITY.

Annoying voice?! Are you kidding? Try listening to that Hillary thing for half as long as Palin spoke and know the meaning of auditory agony.
Speaking of witch, I bet there's not a lamp left in the Clinton house this morning.
Posted by: Fiberal at September 4, 2008 10:29 AM
Juan, that picture has warped my mind.
Please don't do that again.
Thanks

I'm still trying to figure out what guys like Markus are really up to. Do they get their kicks seeing people responding to their posts saying "you are an idiot"? Is is masochism? Do they really think they'll change someone's mind by name calling? Are they so filled with hate, they just HAVE to say stuff like this?
I do love it, though. We know we've got a winner here from all the frantic, desperate reactions! So does the press. And the TV media. Chris Matthews leg must be going crazy by now.

The sheer volume of attacks from Obama's camp in the media should be a wake up call to his befuddled masses. Why is he attacking somebody that he feels is inferior?
Posted by: Zen at September 4, 2008 11:12 AM
Just a reminder of what the world's smartest commnunity organizer sounds like without a Teleprompter.
Posted by: V the K at September 4, 2008 11:19 AM
Markus just sent my moonbatty senses crazy. The power of stupidity is strong in that one. As Mark Levin would say, Markus is the kind of lib nut job that hangs out in his underwear in his mother's basement wearing a tinfoil hat so the Mother Ship can't penetrate his pea brain.
Posted by: Moonbat Insepctor General at September 4, 2008 11:33 AM
Thanks V the K.
Obama off script always reminds me of Ashlee Simpson and her lip synching fiasco on SNL. I think next time he should just break into a jig.

Hey Markus Cranius Opossumus, do you like films about gladiators? Do you prefer snails more than oysters? Careful what you say here or Sarah Palin will kick the shit out of you.
Posted by: Corona at September 4, 2008 11:53 AM
considering her teleprompter was messed up and she had to ad-lib a bit of her speech, she did dayamed well!
when the obamaprompter is working CORRECTLY, all you get are a bunch of ums and ahs.
Posted by: nanc at September 4, 2008 1:05 PM
As much as I've enjoyed watching the insane attacks on Sarah Palin (who, btw, I told my wife 6 months ago was going to be the VP pick), I'm going to enjoy even more the looks of frozen dumb bewilderment on the faces of the Drive-bys and the MSM on election night as the Post Turtle gets body-slammed.
You hate what you fear, and it's pretty obvious that the Libs are scared shitless of Sarah Palin.
Posted by: NoObamunist at September 4, 2008 1:31 PM
I just went to check my email at comcast and those leftists had this to say about Sarah Palin's speech last night at the RNC. It just goes to show that EVERY media outlet wants life under President Hussein. Didn't we hang one of these idiots already?

Insulting others lets Liberals temporarily forget their own failures and Oblama's lack of qualifications.

I like this Moonbat Inspector guy... he's got sharp teeth. Keep it up, man!

I can't believe how incredibly stupid Americans are. Palin pretends to be a christian, criticizes Obama, avoids any relevant issue, has a pregnant daughter while she preaches abstinence, has zero foreign policy experience but wants to lead the country, but it's fine with you. Leaders around the world are probably making fun of this joke of a vice-president. If she can't deliver a speech with class where are her so-called values?
Posted by: SAM at September 4, 2008 4:35 PM
Say - you an American, Sam?
Posted by: Jimbo at September 4, 2008 5:12 PM
Here's a joke that Hussein Obama and SAM will find funny and relevent.
SAM and Hussein Obama went to the desert for a vacation and some Al-Qaeda training. They rented a camel and headed out. Five days later they came back but without the camel. The man who had
rented them the camel was very upset and screamed, "Where is my camel?"
Hussein Obama replied, "Well, we were riding along when we kept hearing people say, 'Look at the two assholes on that camel!' So finally we got off to take a look and the damn camel ran away!"

Anyway, she's just a woman with an annoying voice,
Um..You can haz Hillary? She sounds like Dr Evil for fricks sake. Palin has a slightly back-country accent, anathema to "liberals" of course since it's not a beltway nasal twang like Hitlery.
from a shitty state that nobody cares about,..
Which holds how much of the entire country's energy reserves?
with a knocked-up daughter.
How dreadful! Surely this has never happened to anyone else, anywhere .. it is surely a big enough issue to decide the presidential race!1!!!!3!!22@!!!two!
And she has zero foreign-policy experience.
And Obama, the Dem PRESIDENTIAL candidate, has zero foreign policy experience and zero executive experience. Hmm.
Watching you douchebags defend her is going to be a lot of fun.
Ditto. Watching you douchebags defend your empty suit is going to be even more fun when he loses.
Posted by: mandible claw at September 4, 2008 10:28 PM
NB. it appears Palin wrote a lot of her speech on her own, or at least assisting the speech writer.
Does HopenChange do that?
Posted by: mandible claw at September 4, 2008 10:30 PM
No foreign policy experience? Alaska is the only state in the U.S. to border onto two foreign countries. Canada, with which she negotiated a pipeline deal, to the East, and Russia to the West.
