Worst metaphor ever.

I'm just finally getting around to watching Palin's speech.

OMG, this is horrible.

3. What was the entire line, because right now it just reminds me of this

That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs but what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom.

6. "A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why the ship is built."

relating to taking risks.

WTF?

I think I prefer the black pearl.

9. Hee hee. Maybe "ditsy" more? And McCain is the worst clapper EVER

Gawd, how embarassing. And he actually looks like he's saying "WTF did I just do?" 90% of the time between awkward claps.

11. He didn't even know where he was and who his pick was, really twilight zone stuff.

5. Her speech this morning was just horrible.

I also heard that line and was like WTF?

[AlCzervik]

7. the entire event looked hurried and poorly thought out, much like McCain's candidacy!

Bah duh bump, i'll be here all week!

10. You all don't have your office mailboxes jammed with

motivational knick-knacks and posters then, or you would recognize that half of her speech was cliche driven poster-speak. I was working alone in my classroom when I heard this and finally had to reach for the mute button. If I was one of those clever folks here who could insert photos, I'd dredge up one of this particular cliche and its accompanying poster. I think it might also be hanging in Michael Scott's office!
