Palin's Insanity Deepends, Chapter....I lost count

[FunkMonk]

Palin-hating is so 2008. 

I'm not trying to defend her. Just saying she's old garbage and the coverage of her antics bores me.

She is old news and her "gaffyness" means that no matter how badly Obama may have fucked up Palin will lose if she is nomated. Keeping her in the news is cruel like cripple fights.

It's my fondest hope that she tries to start a 3rd party.  Hopefully that will siphon away alot of the wingnuts that drag the GOP down.

It's not really gaffes.  A gaffe is a mistake.  She didn't become stupid by accident.

If Palintology requires a close study of her anatomy, where does one sign up for the classes?

......
The same cannot be said, obviously, of most of the Mid-West.  The German population that settled the area seems to have adopted their new language and culture to the point of becoming more "American" than the Americans, resulting in "accent less" English and an architectural style that bears little resemblance to the motherland.  This makes a fascinating comparison with German migrants to Brazil and Argentina who are still purported to speak some German and have constructed entire neighborhoods in German style.

I knew what Spellus was trying to say, but it came out a little strange to a non-American, no doubt.  The Midwest accent so predominates in news broadcasting that Americans have come to think of is as the 'default' accent.

[Razgovory]

It is the default!  It's the only true American.

Um... no. Midwestern accents tend to be pretty sharp, but not as pronounced as Boston, New York, or most flavors of southern drawl. GAE's closest to a neutral far-western accent.

Everyone speaks far-western in Canada, aside from Atlantic types.

Which is why I had to coin "gaffyness". She just makes blunders constantly that in others would be considered gaffes. I don't want to characterize somebody as stupid without actually having met them, however, in her case her publicly projected persona does not include inquisitiveness and being well informed.

I don't mean the Great Lakes accent, if that's what you thought I meant.  I'm talking Iowa/Nebraska/Kansas.

Great Lakes is all DA BEARSSSS and Chi-KAHHHHH-goh.

Newfies = virtually impossible to understand.  I talked to one on the phone once and I think I had to ask him to repeat himself after virtually every sentence.

William Shatner recites Palin's farewell speech as spoken word poetry. It's pretty much verbatim.

Transcript from Palin's speech so you can compare:

(reformatted by myself)
"... 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."

Basically, she sounds like Obama and only slightly better than Biden.
