I never know what Sarah Palin is talking about
Did anybody catch the former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin’s farewell speech? That is if you could call it a speech even. The text in its full can be read here, but I’ll go ahead and quote my favorite part.
I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature’s finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In the winter time it’s the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn’t it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs?
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. It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future.
Umm, Sarah Palin, what the hell are you talking about? Are your brain and your mouth playing marco-polo again? Somebody go get Charlie Gibson…
I personally think Conan O’Brien and William Shatner got it right on The Tonight Show. It wasn’t a farewell speech, it was a poem!
Oh my gosh, the tears are running down my face. I don’t know if it is because it is so funny, so true or I’m so freaking scrared that people will vote for her. LOL
Thanks for the video of two of my favorite men.
Oh I know, I nearly cried when I heard it too! What the hell was she thinking?
Heh there’s a rumor that she’s gonna run with Limbaugh… oh lord… you know from a blogging standpoint I’m almost rooting for it. I could post about those two wingnuts for days…
I don’t care what George Takei says, Shatner rules!
