Sarah Palin is a poet and doesn't know it
Ever wondered why you can't make any sense out of what former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Ex-Gov. Sarah Palin says?
It's because she speaking in ... poetry!
Read one of Sarah Palin's finest works, taken from Hart Seely's collection of found poems reproduced verbatim from her actual speeches and quotes:
You know,
Small mayors,
Mayors of small towns--
Quote, unquote--
They're on the front lines.
No wonder we were all confused.
Keep reading for another Palin poem that Seely titles "On the Bailout":
On the Bailout
Ultimately,
What the bailout does
Is help those who are concerned
About the health care reform
That is needed
To help shore up our economy,
Helping the--
It's got to be all about job creation, too.
Shoring up our economy
And putting it back on the right track.
So health care reform
And reducing taxes
And reining in spending
Has got to accompany tax reductions
And tax relief for Americans.
And trade.
We've got to see trade
As opportunity
Not as a competitive, scary thing.
But one in five jobs
Being created in the trade sector today,
We've got to look at that
As more opportunity.
All those things.
Poetic, isn't it?

Did Sarah Palin quit as governor so she could make more money?

Sorry, she's not a poet...she's not a governor, nor a vice-president...she's only a media celebrity who has definately outlasted her fifteen minutes of fame...it's time for her to retire.
I think someone who can't explain their actions coherently either has a serious neurological problem, or something to hide. No one expects Palin to give the Gettysburg Address, or Churchill's "finest hour" speech, but even a five year old can explain his, or her, actions with some clarity. As far as quitting. The pressures on a President of the United States must be much greater than what she has experienced.
Did FDR quit when he had to face the Nazis and the Japanese military at the same time? Did JFK quit because Khrushchev was being mean to him? As Truman said: if you can't stand the heat,stay out of the kitchen, if I quoted him correctly.
Erratum:
Sarah IS a poet, and you ARE a journalist!
I am indifferent to all this. This is only an opinion from someone. Stupid to some genius to others. There are bound to be people from both sides.
Sarah Palin is easily the best example of the Kruger-Dunning effect ever discovered. (See wikipedia)
Only someone as utterly clueless as her could be so blind to her own shortcomings.
