She PLAYS Flute, People.
You don't get it. If she knows the Gflat scale, she can basically conquer anything.

4. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
I'm a professional wind player, and after mastering the clarinet and sax, it took me YEARS to get the hang of the flute. That is ONE TOUGH INSTRUMENT.

x(

But other than that, yeah, she's pretty useless. Carry on.

:)

11. Ha! I wish bands and orchestras made you guys play more than one instrument...
...imagine not getting hired unless you were fluent in the English Horn, Trumpet, and Tuba!

19. Uh, don't you mean "French Horn?"
"English Horn" is a double reed, unless you believe all trombonists should play a double reed, too.

14. Trombone? HA! You just have to move this slide up and down...
Like a slide whistle.

It's not like woodwinds where you have to be precise in your fingering...:P

I could only wish my instrument came prekeyed. Speaking of which, I wonder if Palin is good with her hands.

20. HA!!! A lot you know! You can't play a wind instrument by sucking it!
You have to blow it.

Perhaps this should be a question for the Veep debates?

10. Doesn't matter if she can play the G-flat scale...
She needs to do all 24 of them--major and minor--3+ octaves--in sixteenth notes with quarter note = MM120. Then we'll talk about VPOTUS.

Do you really think Putin can play just the G-flat scale?

12. C'mon
G flat has what, 7 flats? I mean, seriously... That's like the toughest one. And I want a VP who's tough on scales and hard on flutes...

Heh. Hard on flutes.
