Sarah Palin can not speak English (MoDo)
Edited on Sat Oct-04-08 06:36 PM by madaboutharry
Maureen Dowd has a very good column in tomorrow's NYT.

She uses Palin's misuse of English as a handle to discuss what a dope she is. It is very good. See it here:

fixed link, sorry!

14. "She dangles gerunds, mangles prepositions, random exiles nouns
...and verbs and also — “also” is her favorite vamping word — uses verbs better left as nouns, as in, “If Americans so bless us and privilege us with the opportunity of serving them,” or how she tried to “progress the agenda.”

Thanks for posting!! :hi:

16. Fingernails On A Chalkboard
I hosted a Palin party - we played Palin Bingo and considering how horrific it was to listen to her mangle the English language, along with the blatant flirting, predictable one liners and the tinny high pitched screech of voice - I was surprised how quite we all were vs laughing our asses off.

Looking back, I think we were all in a state of shock.

24. lol! They just don't "git" it! A few days ago in a post I mentioned how
creepy it was when they called themselves Mavericks. It's different when someone calls you that but down right arrogant when you call yourself one.

Maureen's line is absolutely perfect and would be a great line for an Obama ad.

23. MoDo has done a lot of unnecessary damage to some of our most
important Dems (as in Gore and Clinton), but she also often nails the assinine idiots on the other side, which is usually clever and right-on. This is a premier assessment of the Moosehunter.
