Palin's folksy little $9.11 speech boiled down to its essential parts:
Edited on Mon Sep-13-10 01:38 PM by Swamp Rat
Paragraph 1:

I don't really care about you, but here's a lame excuse: think of the children! You want some freedom fries with your Happy Meal? ALL HAIL SOLDIERS FOR JESUS!! ALL HAIL BIG BROTHER!!

Paragraph 2:

I get paid for my opinion, which comes from my back yard, and you must obey or else you hate Big Brother Jesusland.

Paragraph 3:

Toil hard and obey Big Brother or else he will kill you. WEEEE!!! This is like a paid vacation! Be afraid or else Big Brother will kill you. Obey and feel no shame or guilt... sleep... ALL HAIL SOLDIERS FOR JESUS!! ALL HAIL BIG BROTHER!! **CHA-CHING!** HAHA! SUCKERS! Thanks for the money!

"Well, I'm sorry I'm late. We had a bunch of kid activities today, and the kids come first, OK, so... we're taking care of that, but first let me ask you - Do you looove your freedom? We do love our freedom so what we do is we think of vets and we have some vets right here and we have vets all over this crowd. Raise your hand if you've served in the past or are presently serving in the United States military. We love you and we salute you! God bless you guys. Thank you guys so much! You're why we are here - why we are free - why we have these protections in our Constitution that only you can secure so we thank our vets. It's just really really good to be home. Tonight I think I'll see some of you at a Glenn Beck event that we have in Anchorage. Woohoo!
I know. What would we do without Fox News? I don't know.

We've had a busy time getting to travel around the United States and share the message of really the reform in this country that we need. The reform it's not a fundamental transformation of America that some would want to instill upon us but it is a restoration of America and the values that we hold so dear. That's been our message. And I tell ya where that springs from though, is the roots here in Alaska. I tell my parents all the time there is no better gift that they could have given me than besides such an appreciation for family and for faith and patriotism, it's been an upbringing in America in this most perfect state in America - Alaska, where we are independent and we have the pioneering spirit that more of America should hopefully get to look into the state and understand and really try to emulate because it's that pioneering spirit that America needs more of.

It's a spirit that really wants to value work ethic and value family and value country and not ask much of government. We just want government on our side. We don't want it against us, we just want it on our side so it's not a lot to ask. But that... that value, that belief, it comes from being an Alaskan. There is no place that I would rather be than with you on a day like this - patriots in Alaska. Patriots here who have taken time out of their day to say that we will never forget 9/11, nine years ago - we will never forget and we all commit to never letting it happen again. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for not just welcoming me in my home town but for being who you are, true patriots holding on to time tested truths. Knowing that... knowing some basic principles that again, the rest of America can learn from so many Alaskans who believe this - those time tested truths that are based on the government that governs least, governs best. And the knowledge that it's our Constitution that provides the best path - the best blueprint for a more perfect union and the knowledge that our men and women in uniform are a source for good throughout this world and that's nothing to apologize for. So you Alaskans who are so proud to be American, I'm with you. I love you. God bless you and God bless the United States of America. Thank you guys!"

6. What in the hell is this? Is this actually a sentence? Take a look:

That woman is the master of meandering run-on sentences that go nowhere. I believe her biography will have a total of 12 sentences.

8. Reminds me of grade school essays.
from the kids who only focus on the number of words and not the content.


Then again, I didn't go to 5 colleges.

Makes me think of KLUNKS from Geoff Edwards' Treasure Hunt.
