Sarah Palin, Sock Puppet

How much more will be coming out about this person's lack of qualifications?

Add this to the mix:

There was a flutter of attention when McCain campaign manager Rick Davis told a group of Post reporters and editors yesterday that his team was having to rework the vice presidential acceptance speech because the original draft, prepared before Gov. Sarah Palin was chosen, was too "masculine." While we all wondered to ourselves what might make a speech masculine or feminine, no one batted an eye at the underlying revelation: that the campaign was writing the nominee's speech before knowing who the nominee would be.

So when you watch Sarah Palin tonight, expect to learn something about how well she handles a Teleprompter. Expect to learn something about the McCain campaign's assessment of its political standing with women, or working families, or social conservatives. Whether you're learning what Sarah Palin really thinks or feels is anybody's guess.

Astonishing.

She can't even be trusted to write her own speech to address those few who really think she has the qualifications to run for the 2nd highest office in the land.

Truly, astonishing.

To be fair...

...apparently Romney, Jindal, Lieberman and Ridge would all have been reading essentially the same speech. That tells us something about the desire for message discipline in the McCain camp, but exactly squat about Palin herself.

No matter who McCain had picked, the speech would have been canned.

Fair, Schmaire ...

She's a maverick.

She's hard charging.

She's Sarah Barracuda.

She can kill a moose with her left hand while grabbing earmark funds with her right.

She doesn't need anyone to write her speeches.

She's an executive and executives don't get "handled".

What are the odds?

I made up some t-shirts to point out the invisible hand up Palin's rear end, so I figured you guys of all people would get a kick out of em.

I'm not just spamming for profit- download a big poster-version of the graphic for free on the site and pass it along, please!
