Posted: 10/29/08 at 12:55pmThis woman wrote speeches? For Obama? The writing in this article is so bad I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:00pmIs it just me, or does she sound kind of crazy and stalker-y?
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#3
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:01pmWell, someone has to, I guess.

A disgruntled speechwriter leaves the Democrats because she doesn't like the way the media has been playing certain things. I suppose you think this is it for Obama? Compared to what Republicans are doing in this campaign, her gripes are petty.
But it looks like we'll have to brace ourselves for 8+ years of Palin as President. The tide has clearly changed.

I don't know. Mustard-South-Beach-Bathing-Suit-gate could really do us in. I'm still not sure what that was even about???
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#6
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:08pmYeah, I read the mustard thing three times. Still not getting it.

Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:11pmI'll call the writer and ask her to put it in the form of a showtune so that you can understand it a little better.

There's so much I don't understand - the Grey Poupon, "Joe the Plumber is right," comparing ANY of Sarah Palin's inanity to Obama's "57 States" comment, etc, etc.
I also don't get the in quotes mention that Biden "good looking" man. Who is she quoting there?
Whatever, Wendy. Who needs you?

Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:12pmWhy don't you just explain it, Goth?
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#10
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:14pmI thought Obama wrote all his own speeches anyway. I smell Republican operative.

Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:15pmWell spotted again artscallion! I need to drink my morning coffee. I'm slow on these things this morning. (Long night of work, little sleep.)
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#12
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:16pmWasn't "Not Joe the Plumber" one of their operatives, too?

Wow, she sounds like she has a lot of solid reasons to vote for McCain. Because Obama didn't fawn over her gift of Grey Poupon (that sounds like the Spring Awakening spinach incident!) and because the media is mean to Sarah Palin and some ignorant doofus -- seen his commentary on Israel yet? -- trying to milk his moment of fame.
I'm convinced.
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#14
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:31pmExcept when attached to her kiss off letter, I can find no indication that she was ever actually a speechwriter for Obama. I see her credited to Edwards and Clinton all around the web, but nothing for Obama.
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#15
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:36pmMaybe she was a speechwriter for him in the same way Charles Guiteau was a speechwriter for Ulysses S. Grant.
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#16
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:40pmWell, that made no sense.

"I'll call the writer and ask her to put it in the form of a showtune so that you can understand it a little better."
Funsy!
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#18
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:43pmWhy can't Goth just explain it? Clearly, it's some big obvious anecdote we're all missing.

Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:46pmLeave him alone! He and Wendy Button are thinking up rhymes for "Poupon."

"See campaigns get complicated when you’ve written for so many Democrats. Not only had I written for Senator Edwards, but I had also been Senator Hillary Clinton’s speechwriter. Senator Joe Biden is a “good looking” man and his care after my father almost died from an aneurysm is the kind of kindness you never forget. When I saw Edwards at a traffic light in D.C. about a year after our meeting, he asked for help and I did and it was an honor to help him with his concession speech."
Is this paragraph supposed to be coherent?
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#21
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:50pmBiden was REALLY good looking about 30 years ago. Foxy!
re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#22
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:51pmSomeone has paid her to write? Really? Really!

re: Obama Speechwriter Votes McCain#23
Posted: 10/29/08 at 1:52pmIt's pretty common for speechwriters to be picked up at traffic lights.
