As I sat before my TV on Wednesday night and watched Sarah Palin’s speech at the GOP convention, I turned to my wife and said, “Interesting speech. Wonder who wrote it.” Later, I opened up The Wall Street Journal, and there on Page A6 I had my answer. The speech was written by Matthew Scully, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush.
It seems Palin, who is getting accolades for her speech, didn’t write a word of it. And many people are saying, after hearing her speak, that she surely is qualified to be president (in the event of McCain’s death). Give me a break. Just because she can read a speech written by someone else, this qualifies her to be president? As George W. Bush found out the hard way, there’s a little more to that job than meets the eye.
