Obama Camp Reduced to Attacking Palin Speechwriter

Sarah Palin's speech was so good that the Obama camp is reduced to having to attack the speechwriter (because he's previously worked for President George W. Bush). Why even release a statement? I do not believe McCain's team released a statement on Joe Biden's speech. I thinkTeam Obama is scared of her.

And as for the speech writing, as Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard notes:

I'm told -- and was told before the speech -- that she had a strong hand in writing and rewriting the speech, working on [it] for several hours over the past three days. And one of the loudest applause lines in the entire speech was her joke -- which Bill Kristol previewed here two days ago -- that the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is lipstick, was [a] line she improvised when delegates from Michigan, all wearing hockey jerseys, applauded loudly at her initial mention of being a hockey mom.
Indeed, the lipstick line is not in her manuscript prepared for delivery.
