On Sunday, Sarah Palin gave another speech, this time, REALLY stepping down. As a parting gesture of kindness, I will assume that her unintelligible press conferences of last month were the result of a hastily-made decision to quit. (Because we she says she is not a quitter and yet she is quitting in the middle of her term, there she goes again speaking English words strung together in a most fascinating way. Maybe it is Palinese.)
She had over a month to prepare her REAL good-bye speech and calibrate her parting impression on her former constituency and the nation. Hmmm. She did not put that time to good use. I wonder what her high school English teachers think? Are they cowering in a corner? Is this the product of a public school education in one of the richest countries in the world? If so, G-d help us.
Sarah, dear, get a speech writer and stick to the teleprompters.
Did you see Conan’s take on the speech? He said, “Oh, it is a POEM!” and had William Shatner come out and recite it… works well that way.
