But my favorite is what Dick Cavett said of Palin when she ran for VP: "She doesn't seem to have a first language."

being AGAINST TORT REFORM. (At least, it'll appear that way UNTIL somebody explains to her what she just said. Then she'll have to go on HANNITY so he can give her a 'Hannity Job' and clean up the mess.)

It's amazing, isn't it? Just when you think this idiot can't POSSIBLY top her last stupid comment...there she is again, 'ringin' Paul Revere's bells.'

I haven't heard her express any coherent ideology or even policy positions that I could agree or disagree with.

She's just like a parrot that repeats random snippets of things that very vaguely sounds like it means something but actually doesn't.

so far, when it comes to saying things that make absolutely no sense. Let's not ruin her perfect record with a misquote.

She said "less tort reform threat," obviously forgetting that she's supposed to be IN FAVOR of tort reform.

She managed (somehow) to remember that "TORT REFORM" was what conservatives are supposed to blather about whenever somebody asks about healthcare. She just couldn't remember whether she's supposed to be FOR or AGAINST tort reform. So she said "Less tort reform...threat(?)..yeah, I guess. Um...tort reform THREAT, that must be it. I'll just say that, and maybe nobody'll notice...*WINK*"

Seriously, what a DOPE! Conservatives only HAVE a repertoire of about five talking points. How stupid do you have to BE to not remember whether you're supposed to be for or against each one of them?

A TORT is an injury that causes somebody physical harm, making them entitled to legal redress. So, in the context of healthcare, TORT usually refers to medical malpractice lawsuits.

Conservatives always blather about tort reform (ie-putting a CAP on the amount of money you can sue a doctor for if he accidentally chops off your LEG when he was only supposed to take out your appendix) as a way of lowering medical costs by lowering the cost of Doctors' malpractice insurance. When, in fact, medical malpractice contributes almost NOTHING to the cost of healthcare, and Republicans only attack it because they know that medical malpractice lawyers are big contributers to the Democratic Party.

So, we need to get the word out that Repubicans advocate CAPPING the amount of money you can get if a Doctor mangles or cripples you for life through gross incompetence, for STRICTLY PARTISAN POLITICAL REASONS.

And Alaska—we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. … It’s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans.


…as long as it’s only for themselves, or only for white people.. Karl Marx might have said exactly the same thing if he had spoken in schizophrenic word salad instead of academic German.

that Sarah does - talks in circles. I wonder if Sarah has some issues - diagnosed or not diagnosed, treated or not treated.

In one way, I feel sorry for her - if she wasn't such a dangerous snake.
