Mrs. Greenspan actually said that Simple Sarah was the best speaker of the four! Yikes! My newfound ability to view MSNBC online is both a blessing and a curse.

Political Memo
A Riveting Speaker, Waving the Flag

By PATRICK HEALY
Published: October 13, 2008

skip
As the Republican vice-presidential nominee for six and a half weeks now, Ms. Palin has emerged as the most electrifying speechmaker among the four politicians on the major party tickets. She generates enormous fervor at her events; people sometimes do not stop clapping or shouting words of praise until Ms. Palin pauses.


Which is plainly idiotic. Palin is a simplistic, jingoistic, xenophobic cheerleader who cannot speak in complex sentences, doggone it. She definitely appeals to the "base" in a way that is clearly unintentionally ironic: she appeals to the basest emotions and is a master of us vs them rhetoric. The more you hear her, the less bearable she becomes, in my opinion.

Long story short - no "there" there.

12. Andrea's right--Palin's such a refreshing change from coherent sentence structure and
pleasant voices.

17. Palin is a good speaker when she has a script
She has a kind of down home folksiness that makes her seem like one of the people. She is completely incapable of independent thought or stirring eloquence. But she has the homespun thing down completely.

If she also had a brain and new something about policy she would be truly formidable.
