Gov. Sarah Palin to softball-lobbing Wolf Blitzer on the role of state Governors in the new Administration:
Sitting here in these chairs that I’m going to be proposing but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it’s our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable, not being just one of many just casting votes or voting present every once in a while, we don’t get away with that. We have to balance budgets and we’re dealing with multibillion dollar budgets and tens of thousands of employees in our organizations.
That executive experience that every governor has and must have being put to good use now as we work together as governors to help reach out to Barack Obama’s administration, being able to help him make good decisions based on the solutions that we already seek. For me specifically of course, energy independence that is doable here in this country, we have the domestic solutions because we have the domestic supply.

That first sentence (?) is a real killer to read. I started it 4 times, I think. Dodged a bullet there.
I used to think she was just dumb, but reading transcripts of things she says, I wonder if she’s got a neurological issue. The individual words are right for the context, but they’re strung together like gibberish. I would love to know how a linguistics or speech-pathology expert would analyze the way she talks when she’s unscripted.
YOu always seem to have the best tidbits! This is so what I used to do when called on in school, if I hadn’t really read the section and wanted to bluff, wiht mixed success. I just pray she continues prattling on and on, allowing those who readily see her incompetence to expose it further and further. She will truly dig a deep hole for herself!
