    That was a Governor's resignation speech done in the style of a Mary Kay cosmetics convention Power Point presentation.

    kae, this is really weird, but the street with palin signs is the one with people who will help you raise a barn, or bring in the hay, or repaint the bottom of your fishing boat with marine epoxy resin. but i guess that doesnt really work for you if you live below 14th street. heh.

    Ok, I'm sorry if this sounds asshole-ish, or if any of you are from Alaska but SERIOUSLY PALIN? Alaska is of great importance to our national security? REALLY? Last I checked we used your ass for oil and looked at your pretty coastline from giant cruise ships and that's about it. GET OVER IT. You're the only damn thing from that state anyone ever hears about!

    I love Anderson Cooper's discussion with her spokesperson, it is beyond embarrassing.

    Why? Why all those words in CAPS?

    This was a press release, not notes for a live speech. Once you read it on the podium, you take out the CAPS, exclamation points, doodles, and then post it online.

    HI, SARAH.


    IT'S PRETTY INSANE THAT YOU'RE WRITING YOUR RESIGNATION SPEECH IN KANYE WEST'S SHOUTY, ALL-CAPS STYLE.

    @kkatt:


    Not to be a big nerd, but that's not true. Most fish can't swim against the current when they're juvinile. It's something that needs to be taken into account for Marine Protected Areas and fisheries regulations. Not that she'd know anything about that.

    6. For a better understanding of Palin's approach to theology, consult the children's show Veggie Tales.


    This completely explains it, actually. She's just remembering the lesson from the Gospel According to Larry. "If you commit yourself to waiting for a cheeseburger, but you get hungry, you can go to Denny's first, and then COME BACK and still get a cheeseburger, if you love the Cheeseburger with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."


    Sarah has just applied this lesson to her life. Denny's= money and Cheeseburger=power.

    I spent a considerable amount of time with Sarah Palin this weekend. Her speech is like The Giving Tree, there ae always more treasures it can provide, whether you refer to the published piece or her actual performance, which was remarkable in its ineptitude.

    This is mostly what I came away with:

    As many Jezebelles will know, it was not Sarah Palin, but rather Rahm Emanuel who most charismatically and memorably inserted dead fish into our political discourse. Epic fail, SP.

    Thank you for the text. I can't watch the video, as something about the sound of her voice makes me want to claw my own face off.

    Here Palin references Hamlet's famous soliloquy. Though Hamlet speaks of "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," Palin's "slings and arrows with that unpopular move to veto" is no less poetic. The Hamlet allusion may also be a coded statement of Palin's plan to feign madness in order to achieve her political aims.


    Anna N., I think this feeling I have might be love. I can only hope for more large-scale GOP gubernatorial political implosions so that this feature might continue.

    Every single sentence in that entire speech appears to have switched colleges four times.
