A friend of mine has been watching the conventions and speeches much more than I do. She really liked parts of Palin's speech, but was turned off by negative statements and implications about Obama. I wonder what your friend thought of the bashing that Palin underwent in the days leading up to her speech? A sarcastic response was totally appropriate given the vicious attacks she suffered at the hands of the Left -- both the Obama campaign and the media. It is far better than responding "in-kind" to the attacks, which is what most of us would have done. I think a lot of people have criticized Palin in the way your friend has, but anyone who was being objective about it should see that the sarcastic counter-attacks were pretty much necessary given the circumstances. The media had already told us there would be no "red meat" in Palin's speech, so her delivery of a tough speech packed with red meat is what put her on the map, IMO. I think it was just right, personally. Sarcastic enough to make Obama look silly on his experience attack, yet not mean-spirited. I just don't know what else she could have done under the circumstances -- just stand there and take it?
