Palin Just Delivered One of the Most Tasteless and Petty Acceptance Speeches in Political History [Transcript] (npr.org)


Palin lied when she said that Obama has never passed a single reform (andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com)

...."At last count, sponsorship of 820 laws in Illinois, and authorship of 152 bills and co-sponsorship of 427 in Washington. The 2007 Ethics Reform bill alone cannot be dismissed as simply non-existent. And since part of Palin's own claim to substance is an ethics reform bill, it seems extremely weird that she should believe that Obama's record is a total zero. You can go look at Obama's State Senate legislative record here. And his US Senate record here. "
