If you missed it Palin's speech will go down as one of the worst ever

[grantcart]

Sophmoric as in terms of a sophmoric High School student she rambled with her most irritating sing song voice.


She is for the military and for freedom and for the 2nd ammendment.


She did not identify her main issue that would allow her to contribute with public leadership.


She is a hero because she will not be a lame duck.


She scolded the media and told them to "stop making things up"


She warned Alaska that Hollywood was about to launch an invasion so that they would infiltrate Alaska and take away their guns, but she reminded all of us that "we eat therefore we hunt" appealing to everyone except those that apparently don't eat.


Given the amount of time that she had to prepare for this speech it was stunningly incoherent and poorly delivered. You have to wonder what happened to the handlers that prepared her for the RNConvention speech that was atleast effectively delivered.

[babylonsister]

1. "appealing to everyone except those that apparently don't eat."

:rofl:

[grantcart]

5. that would be the rather large 'feeding tube' lobby

[Clio the Leo]

2. Well, just be glad that the President did his "apology" Friday.....

.... as I'm sure there was a long diatribe written into her speech about how she loves America and cops AND firefighters and nurses and teachers and dog catchers and baby sitters and kids that work in the drive through UNLIKE that evil Obama dude.

[babylonsister]

6. Jeeze, good point I hadn't thought of. nt

[Clio the Leo]

8. I think it played a part in why he did it.

Right or wrong, they simply could not have that Palin woman all over the TV calling the President a cop-hater.

And since that would have driven me mad, I think I'll send the President an email thanking him lol.

[Uzybone]

14. Great point

I'm surprised she still didn't slip that in there.

She is even incompetent at the art of being an asshole.

[bridgit]

3. E-vah! In fact I am not convinced it was a speech so much as a glimpse...

upon a aggregate of internal complex' working their way through her lips

[Kind of Blue]

64. True that - I think she has had a breakdown

and doesn't realize it yet. Her speechifying is dizzyfying :crazy:

[glarius]

4. Her speeches are always so terribly disjointed!

She sounds like she is picking slips of paper with stuff written on it out of a hat and reading what they say. The words never flow to communicate a complete thought. She really is wacky.

[boppers]

11. I'm not sure what you mean?

Great country freedom, proud to serve, moose icy!

[glarius]

12. Huh?n/t

[boppers]

17. I think she's proud pipeline of hunters and brave Alaskans, especially patriotic workers and snow.

Rugged independence, caribou, and fiscal wisdom to a brighter future, without forgetting to learn the lessons from the lessons of the past that can be, and should be, learned from, without sacrificing defense and our brave soldiers. Like my great-grandfather once said, as he trudged through the tundra and snow and glaciers and 150 degree heat, "Better to get head than behind", while reform and ethics, freedom for all Americans, especially for Americans and Caribou and Elk who are proud and free.

[MadMaddie]

30. she couldn't have said it better herself.....no really...she couldn't!

Ha..ha..ha.
:rofl:

[Yavin4]

35. I Need A Shirpa To Guide Me Through Her Speeches

Good Lord.

[Canuckistanian]

36. So it was YOU that wrote those speeches!

Brilliant!

So tell us, how do you get her to do those awkward pauses, that atrocious rhythm and the occasional mispronunciations?

[boppers]

49. "awkward pauses, that atrocious rhythm and the occasional mispronunciations"?

Four words: William Shatner, Speech Coach.

[boppers]

71. Oh my. Someone on his staff reads DU.

[XemaSab]

45. FTW!

:D

[ellie]

59. hahahahaha!

[mrs_p]

63. "150 degree heat"

:rofl:

[live love laugh]

65. Are you her speech writer? W.O.W.

:wow:

(Only because there's no avatar for head spinning)

[grantcart]

25. she got it straight for freedom loving and big space for those that really want

to express their freedom and support the military while they continue to hate those god damned hollywood gun taker awayers.

[Arkana]

16. Pitbull hockey mom! Lipstick community organizer! Wasilla!

[XemaSab]

46. Tiny starlets

n/t

[Patiod]

57. OMG, that was my favorite line

about the tiny starlets wanting to stop hunting in Alaska

She is batshit crazy.

[cliffordu]

43. Well...

:rofl:

[Island Blue]

13. She writes her speeches using pages

out of a Mad-Libs book.

[The Wizard]

27. Incoherent rambling

with an aw shucks style worked for Bushigula.

[glitch]

28. Her biggest mistake: thinking the world wasn't quite sick enough of the bush league personality

Ok maybe not her biggest mistake...

[Control-Z]

32. What kills me

is that I always find myself trying to follow her, even to the point of anticipating what she might be getting at - but I'm never right, and always walk away scratching my head and/or choking on laughter.

[Cal33]

7. The Republican agenda has nothing to offer the American

people. Republicans couldn't very well be open and say, "I'm here to rip off every
red cent from you." Could they? The other thing I can say is that Palin has a lot
of Chutzpa -- but nothing else to go along with it. Neo-Cons could very well
choose her in 2012, at that!!

[MadMaddie]

31. Cal33 you are absolutely right!

Palin does have chutzpa but she is a blithering idiot that won't exit after her 15 min of questionable fame.

Welcome to DU!:hi:

[MoonRiver]

9. Lol, thanks for the update!

I think she is more amusingly stupid than Dan Quayle. That's saying something! :D

[tridim]

22. At least Quayle knew when to shut up

Palin will never stop talking.

[MoonRiver]

23. Can't wait until she figures out, NOBODY IS LISTENING.

[Leo The Cleo]

10. She Is The Brightest Star In Our Political Universe

Rocks.

[Spazito]

15. In what respect, Charlie?

I, also, too, yep, yep, absolutely, yabetcha, dead fish go with the flow!

(All quotes from the FORMER, oh how I love that word in this case, governor of Alaska, lol)

[pleah]

18. God, I wish she would just go away. Glad I missed it. n/t

[Zen Democrat]

19. What was that thing she said about tiny little starlets against the Second Amendment? Huh?

[grantcart]

26. they are on their way to take away their guns

[jberryhill]

41. What Indeed...

...I was trying to figure out whether she had anyone specific in mind.

[Kaleko]

48. Ashley Judd.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/02/ashley-judd-slams-sarah-p_n_163312.html

In a video, actress Ashley Judd condemns Palin for promoting the aerial killing of wolves and accuses her of suggesting $150 bounties for the severed forelegs of killed wolves.

"Now back in Alaska, Palin is again casting aside science and championing the slaughter of wildlife," Judd recites somberly.

"Palin even proposed a $150 bounty for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf. And now she is encouraging even more aerial killing. It is time to stop Sarah Palin and stop this senseless savagery."

[maxsolomon]

70. ashley judd and sarah palin look the same size to me

and that size ain't "tiny".

[stevedeshazer]

20. Nothing but a bunch of shrieking and hollering.

Not that I expected much, but it was even worse than I thought it could be.

Awful.

[madamesilverspurs]

21. Goodbye, Sarah.

Also, too.

[bvar22]

24. Was Quittercuda on TV or something?

Glad I missed it.

[glitch]

29. IOW a smash hit with her base (an incredible launch!) nt

[mkultra]

33. Never interupt your opponet when they are making a mistake

run sarah run!

[dalaigh lllama]

34. Here's a gal who could give Sarah a run for her money

let's just hope she never gets past city council hearings:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxe_kwc8klw

[Voice for Peace]

42. wow, she's excellent, thanks for that link!

:rofl:

[Proud Liberal Dem]

37. Saw her "quitting" speech and that was enough for me.

I surely wasn't expecting anything better for her "farewell address"- and it sounds like I was right. :eyes:

[LiberalFighter]

38. Heard her say something about not wanting to be a lame duck in her last year in office.

I thought next year would be her last year in office if she was still in office.

She never lets facts get in the way. Does she?

[saltpoint]

39. For years to come, symposiums and conferences will be convened to

hotly debate which of Sarah Palin's public addresses was the most abominable.

grantcart, you rock.


:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hi:

[Colobo]

40. Hopefully, Sarah will land a show at Fox News and become as irrelevant

as Mike Huckabee is.

[Jennicut]

54. Could she even cut it on a news show, ever for Fox? With all the incoherent rambling?

No one can make sense of it.

[Brother Buzz]

44. Her speech sounded like fingernails on a blackboard to me, but it wasn't written for us....

The speech was tailored for her base. Every loaded buzzword that her base understands and needs to hear was crafted into that claptrap of a speech. Wedge issue people don't care about anything as long as they are placated by hearing a few choice buzzwords that they have been conditioned to hear; Pavlovian dogs.

[XemaSab]

47. You're wrong

I did not hear the words "sanctity of life" or "birth certificate." :banghead:

[democracy1st]

50. that was pure crap here's the link

[Blue_In_AK]

67. The Mudflats has a transcription of this doozy

here http://www.themudflats.net/2009/07/27/palins-farewell-address-full-transcript/ and Gryphen at The Immoral Minority does a brilliant deconstruction here http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/
My favorite part from his post:

"We eat, therefore we hunt" - Sarah Palin
"I think, therefore I am" - Rene Descartes
"She speaks gibberish, therefore she is Sarah Palin" - Gryphen, the pajama-clad blogger

:rofl:

[democracy1st]

68. hehe thanks guy

[Blue_In_AK]

69. And I see that I "typed" gibberish, too.

I mean to type "She SPEAKS gibberish" not "speakers gibberish." I fixed it. :crazy:

[agentS]

51. Glad I didn't see the speech.

If I were there, I would have used one of those "Showtime at the Apollo" long ass candy-cane shaped poles they used to use to yank people off stage if they sucked.

So now she's out of office? Good! More time to reimburse the state for all those 20+ ethics violations!
Work hard at HumanEvents.com or Stormfront or wherever you wind up, Sarah Failin!

[WeDidIt]

52. The morning snooze shows aren;t even playing sound bites

They're just saying what she said, but not playing any of it.

[ErinBerin84]

53. Pat Buchanan was on Morning Joe

saying "Why are you making demands on what this woman should have said in her farewell speech?" And Mark Halperin said something like "How about two (coherent?) sentences?" Pat also says that Democrats were "terrified" of Sarah Palin during the campaign, and that Biden was "wailing" that "we should have picked Hillary". Gotta love his spin on things ,lol.

[JayMusgrove]

55. Pat and Sarah, a perfectly incoherent pair of voices in today's

Right Wing America.

I swear Pat has the hots for her. I swear Pat thinks she makes sense almost as much as he thinks he does.

And now, Pat will have more media coverage than Sarah, once again.

And to think, only a year ago, none of us had ever heard from Sarah Palin, (unless we lived in Alaska or Western Canada.)

All this flash in the pan, within less than 365 days.

[Mike Daniels]

56. Pat's just thinking with his lower brain again.

There's no way Buchanan would support someone this incoherent if they didn't have have MILF thing going for them.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

61. Leave it to Joe and Mikea to give that bigot a platform on TV

[Blue_Tires]

75. does Pat have the FIRST bit of proof about what Biden allegedly said?

of course not...

and the Dems were really "terrified" while watching the presidential election get cemented even before the Calif. votes were counted...

[ensho]

58. what she says never makes any sense

its garble and blather

[treestar]

60. Among Palin's worse, the worst ever must be a real doozy

that woman cannot speak for shit.

[Moostache]

62. The GOP is in need of a mercy killing at this point...

Between the Know-Nothings in Congress and the Senate, the overt racism around the Sotomayor hearings, the Obama-birther Brigade and Pat "I-never-met-a-good-non-white man" Buchanan, the GOP resembles a pathetic, rabid dog that is about 5 years past its prime. And that is BEFORE you throw in the likes of Bachmann, Coulter, Limbaugh, Beck and the rest of "teh crazy".

If this were an actual animal, we would put it down out of compassion....maybe that was what W. had in mind with "Compassionate conservatism" all along....

[WI_DEM]

66. She's a quitter--Americans don't like quitters.

[davidpdx]

72. She could talk out her ass

and still prove she's stupider then an animal. No surprise in terms of how dumb her speech was.

[Raineyb]

73. Has she ever made a good speech?

:shrug:

Unless someone puts it on a teleprompter for her to read I don't think she's ever strung together two sentences that weren't rambling examples of verbal diarrhea on a word salad.

[Monk06]

74. "It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to

the future."

She's a brilliant wordsmith.

Poetry just flows out her tongue like
a carving river.

Again Sarah thinking thoughts in the grip of her muse

"And then in the summertime such extreme summertime about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than just some months ago, than just some months from now, with fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here, Mother Nature wins. "
