The Rude Pundit: Quotes That Make the Rude Pundit Want To Suck the Roe Right Out of a Salmon's Twat
A few words from "A Farewell to Dinks":
"Some straight talk for some — just some — in the media. … You represent what could and should be a respected, honest profession that could and should be a cornerstone of our democracy. Democracy depends on you. That is why our troops are willing to die for you. So how about in honor of the American soldier, ya’ quit makin’ things up?" - Now ex-Governor Sarah Palin, in her resignation speech, apparently missing the point that soldiers also die to ensure that America's leaders can do their jobs, as well as the point that democracy depends on elected officials.

"Alaskans need to really stick together…Stiffen your spine to do what’s right for Alaska when the pressure mounts because you’re going to see anti-hunting, anti-second amendment circuses from Hollywood… They use these delicate, tiny, very talented celebrity starlets, they use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-second amendment causes. Stand strong and remind them (that) patriots will protect our individual guaranteed right to bear arms. And by the way, Hollywood needs to know: We eat, therefore we hunt." - Now ex-Governor Sarah Palin, justifying why she's gonna get fat on raw wolf meat.

"Some still are choosing not to hear why I made the decision to chart a new course to advance the state. And it should be so obvious to you. It is because I love Alaska this much…that I feel that it is my duty to avoid the unproductive, typical, politics as usual, lame duck session in one’s last year in office….With this decision now, I will be able to fight even harder for you for what is right and for truth, and I have never felt you need a title to do that." - Now ex-Governor Sarah Palin, acknowledging, in the clearest language she can muster, that Alaska is better off without her.

1. It's just one cliche followed by a buzzword followed by another
and in no way forms a coherent whole. It's not just word salad, it's cliche salad.

The problem is that there are so many stupid people out there who listen just for the cliches and applaud or boo appropriately. It doesn't matter to them that the woman is making absolutely no sense.

Don't count her out. If the Democrats blow health care, her phony populism might sell in 2012 after the do nothing Democrats have been thrown out of office in 2010 in a repeat of 1994, the last year they did nothing about health care.

2. If someone generated a word cloud of what she said...
would it look any different than the actual speech?
