Dick Cavett is funny (and so are the comments):
“My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars.”- Sarah Palin, denying she didn’t know Africa was a continent and not a county.
The Wild Wordsmith of Wasilla has a novel way of speaking, also, she doesn’t make a lot of sense. Can you construct a Palinesque paragraph? Can you imagine trying to do sign language of a Palin interview?
Sifu Tweety Fish has a good one.
she reminds me of rumsfeld…without the intelligence…as she does walcott , who joins the chorus in his inimitable fashion:
que sera, sarah:
*balloon juice: palin rendered in verse.
in an earlier post he referred to the palinites as doug and bob mckenzie’s american cousins.
he may be on to something.
Palin is cartoonish. I’d get a laugh out of her utterances, but the fact that so many people appear to take her seriously sobers me right up.
Palin is like the lead car in a James Bond-ish car chase. She throws down an oil slick of verbiage that sends the cars following her into such a spin that she’s long gone by the time they straighten out.
Whenever she responds to a question she releases a barrage of verbosity, an avalanche, a torrent, a tsunami of words. Great quantities of words, having little or nothing to do with each other or the question.
I’d love to give an approximation of her speech, but my ego would have to be three or four times the size it already is, AND I’d have to drop about 30 I.Q. points in order to sound like her.
Only 30?!
Incoherent she is. -Yoda
Silly you think I am?

Mr. Booman,
As you aware, as Governor of Wasilla I have multiple responsibilities in the time being, and because I can see Russia from my house there is a perception that somehow you bloggin’ people in pajamas have wisdom aplenty. And don’t ever forget it. The world is a complex place, with many moving parts that can easily be confused with the weak dollar and at the same time we have to keep an eye on those rebels in Darfur, heaven knows what they’re doin’.
Of course, up here in Alaska we have a lot of respect for the hunter, but that doesn’t influence my thinking one bit, because I still believe that Ted Stevens deserves to represent the people of the United States of America and as a devout Christian I am willing to overlook his sins and move on to a space-based missle defense. Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that you can’t stomp a snake with both feet in the bucket.
And let’s be frank about the money that I spent on a nice wardrobe during the Presidental campaign. Most real Americans that I know like to see a woman lookin’ good, and it sure helps when you’re tryin’ to make a deal with Kazakstan or somebody. As Vice-President I would be responsbile for travellin’ to countries like Africa and talkin’ to those people over there about mad cow disease and other international situations which have a bearing on peace, especially since you liberals have confused the picture with your supposed facts. Remember, you’ve got to groom the turkey before you milk the goat. Bear that in mind, OK?
Yours,
Sarah
“Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that you can’t stomp a snake with both feet in the bucket.”
Pure brilliance. I’ll have to try to remember that one.
OMG! I was enjoying her making an ass of herself again and then I almost had a heart attack. Sweet.
Ha! Thanks for bringing that to our attention Booman.
Brilliant! Would I love to hear that used again. Dick Cavett has still got it.
