Just watched some of the highlights of Glenn Beck's Whitestock, including Caribou Barbie's speech.

I remember noticing this before, during the '08 elections. It's something subtle, about the cadence of Sarah Palin's speech.

It's something about how she pauses between words once or twice every sentence, how she mispronounces certain words, the tone of how she reads.

Because that's what she's doing - READING. Not comprehending. Just parroting the words without having much of an idea what she's reading. It's like a seventh-grader in junior-high English class reading Macbeth without having any real idea what Shakespeare's play is about, stumbling over the thees, thous and forsooths.

This also explains why Sarah falls apart and gives us Miss South Carolina word-salad aphasia when you take the teleprompter away, and have her trying to do a dynamic interaction instead of reading a canned speech that somebody wrote for her. This is a person who truly has no idea what she's talking about.

And she says that Obama falls apart without a teleprompter...

If you look really closely through her eyes, you can see the back of her skull...

I have no idea why so many people follow her so slavishly. Boggles my mind.

Seriously, Sarah may not be at 7th grade reading comprehension level, there is a certain light that is missing in her eyes.

I think people follow her because they are bored with their lives and for some reason she epitomizes what they want to be. (why I don't know).

It's a sad thing to observe.

2. Yep, Sarah Palin is a puppet.

If you look closely, you'll see someone's arm is up her butt moving her lips, blinking her eyes, and moving her arms.

And she loves it. She'll take those idiots in the audience for every penny she can get from them. She doesn't care about them, she tolerates them while the money rolls in. Palin is a grifter, going from one scam to another as long as she can get away with it. When she exposed herself for an idiot in the 2008 campaign, she knew she had to get the hell out of the Governor's Mansion in Alaska.

First one book and now another, neither written by her, of course.

She's like The Archies: a comic book character that doesn't really exist or sing, someone else does everything for her in the background.

3. Yep. She does understand one thing, money, and right now she's laughing all the way to the bank. n/t

4. today...

projection rules the republican party. Whatever you do, you project onto the opponent. She is truly scary, but would make just as good a president as georgie bu$h the idiot.

6. Underestimate her at your own peril..........

She obviously has something that gets people to be devoted fans...and followers....I hate to look at her, hear her speak. It's like nails on a blackboard to me.....but we really should seek to understand what her magic is. Making fun of her, dismissing her is not a smart plan.

8. She's just the face. It's her backers and puppeteers who are dangerous. n/t

I always felt like I was listening to the class "C" student giving his book report.
