Sarah Palin's Greatest Hits, Over and Over
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/19/1424780.aspx

As of yesterday, Sarah Palin had delivered 14 campaign speeches since her well-received address more than two weeks ago at the Republican National Convention. And each time, she's packed in thousands of excited Republicans eager to see this new star of the GOP.

But those waiting for hours to listen to her could hear the same thing -- or something close to it -- simply by pressing play on a TiVO recording of her acceptance speech. Or clicking on to a YouTube clip of that Sept. 3 address.

“In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.” According to this reporter's count, she has delivered this line more than a dozen times.

“There's a time for politics and a time for leadership, a time to campaign and a time to put our country first,” she says nearly every time as well.

She almost always ends with, “There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you.”

And, of course, she says this: “I told the Congress, ‘Thanks, but no thanks,’ on that Bridge to Nowhere. If our state wanted to build a bridge, we were going to build it ourselves.” In fact, because fact-checkers have said the statement is misleading, she gets more attention when she doesn’t include that line than when she does.

1. A woman like that used to be called a dingbat. Now they call it
presidential material.
