Sentence Hall of Fame....


Total cut and paste from Andy

(On Gov. Pal-in with Palin's farewell speech)

"Twenty years ago she could competently describe a dog race, three years ago she could articulate a position on the abortion issue, and this weekend she composed a resignation speech by throwing culture war stock phrases into a hat and dumping it upside down on a copy of The Paranoid Style in American Politics. [...] It's like Peggy Noonan, Jack London, and William Faulkner wandered into the woods with three buttons of peyote and one typewriter, and only this speech emerged."

I watched about 5 minutes of the speech and I seriously thought at one point she was speaking in another language, or maybe she just threw a bunch of words up in the air and read them off in the order that they landed. WOW!
