Sarah Palin’s Top-Five Most Utterly Nonsensical Sentences from Fox News Interview

http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2013/10/sarah-palin-s-top-five-most-utterly-nonsensical-sentences-from-yesterday-s-fox-news-interview

.... The Huffington Post calls her monologue a “free-association diatribe, an almost jazz-like improvisatory rant.” So what did Palin, the Ornette Coleman of Alaska, have to say for herself? The five most insane sentences (as defined by grammatical statutes, not by complete thoughts) are ranked below. ....

1. “Also, what has emboldened enemies is that [President Obama] with doubling of our debt since he's been elected, putting us on a path towards bankruptcy, and then locking up pipelines and resources that will result in us being more reliant on foreign imports for energy, and then of course he, having left behind, his administration, having left behind our brave men in Benghazi to be murdered, and then of course there's Syria, where he promised to bomb Syria because in that civil war, Syria was going to bomb Syria, and then we never heard another word again about his threat to bomb in a foreign civil war, and then of course, most recently, Megyn, he, uh, using our military, those who would fight against our enemies.”

It's English, after a fashion. I mean, I recognize all the words,...but, the order they're in, the relentless disregard for coherence, the blissfull ignorance of verbal punctuation, the fact-free content...

I don't think atrocities should be committed against the English language like that...

Other articles I have read indicate that Palin agreed to hire a city manager to keep from being recalled.

That jumble of words is only SLIGHTLY more coherent than un-medicated patients I have met with in the padded room.

She even throws in an obligatory neologism here and there.

I've always thought she was hypomanic. It explains a great deal about her whole life.

She looks like she is working too hard to keep a straight face while thinking "This woman is an Idiot". Even Kelly must be embarrassed by her.

Don't try to follow what she says or you'll be just as bad off as she is.

She doesn't seem at all like the person who was briefly governor here. She needs to have her medication adjusted.

30. Old Palin story from 2008

Oct 2013

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President. The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle..." Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle." The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain: "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she's up there, and you just gotta wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with!"

Whoever coined that phrase describing her crap was/is a genius.
Alaska people how the hell did you elect this idiot to the state house? How did you do it, what did she use. Did she show her boobs, pubic hair, what was it??? It damn sure wasn't on her merits thats for f'ing sure.

She just spews all the latest teabagger horseshit words and phrases.

Please please please let their be a Palin/Cruz ticket in 2016!! OMG it would be pure comedy gold and ensure total progressive control of the government for the next 30 years minimum!
