Sister Sarah! Use Your Words

What the fuck is she talking about?

I promised myself that I would not do a post about Sarah Palin until 2012, when she goes for her ill-advised second go. However, this post by Dick Cavett cracked me the fuck up. Click on this link for the full kiki. Mind you, it's a bit "elitist" but it makes a strong point about how words are used by the good, the bad, and the confused.

Mr. Cavett poses the question: "What on earth are our underpaid teachers, laboring in the vineyards of education, supposed to tell students about the following sentence, committed by the serial syntax-killer from Wasilla High and gleaned by my colleague Maureen Dowd for preservation for those who ask, “How was it she talked?”

This is how Sarah Palin talked: "My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars."

They said she was an honor roll student in high school and a journalism major in college... I don't believe it. She does have her beauty pageant contestant "speak" down pat though.

"Such as, when, as if, they were in all things...all encompassing."

Sarah Palin

Is a great example of the corruption of power. She got to where she got thanks to the lobbyists she paid to get her there. And anyone that is looking for some good PR firm they should consult hers. Cause they did a great job to get her look real. But too bad for them the media had enough of the bull shit. Now what it needs to happen is for all forms of media start questioning and really exposing some of this bias assumptions about people often presented in the name of Jesus. That is the job that the media have to come after. To really secure the separation of church and state.
