Apparently the concept of "Green Eggs and Ham" is too complex for conservatives to understand

I read that Palin also used this book at her CPAC speech tonight.

My god, she and Ted Cruz must not have ever made it to the end of that book.

I'll go find a link. I WILL NOT post a video.

She then explained that she taken the book and “spiced it up a little” for her developmentally-disabled son Trig saying, “…and little Trig, lucky little fella, his bedtime story, now it goes something like this.”

Palin then launched into a brief version of the children’s book beginning with: “I do not like this, Uncle Sam. I do not like this healthcare scam.”

In her sing-song litany Palin then proceeded to mention government spending, “cooking the books”, media coverage of herself, and governmental spying as things she doesn’t like.

1. They're

not just liars; they genuinely are ignoramuses.

2. But, but

Would they like it if it were served in a brown paper bag?

3. And they had it patiently explained to them last year when Cruz couldn't understand it

Cruz critics call 'Green Eggs' reading rotten

Sen. Ted Cruz does not like Obamacare, he does not like it anywhere – but would the senator mind it, if only he could try it?

That's what some Democrats are wondering after Cruz chose to read Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" to his two young daughters from the Senate floor around their 8 p.m. bedtime on Tuesday, near the beginning of an all-night speech denouncing the president's health care law.

The story, after all, is a parable about how a stubborn, Grinch-like character insists that he hates green eggs and ham – until he is finally convinced to try them.
...
“I went to the University of Missouri, I did not go to Harvard," Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said Wednesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. "But I’ll tell you that my daughter texted me this morning and said ‘Mom, does he not know the point of the story?’”

Unlike the normal audience for the story, Republicans are incapable of learning. And Palin is one of the worst.

4. It's difficult to get them to understand something when their salary depends upon not understanding.

5. It's because Jesse Jackson had a special reading of the book

From SNL a long time ago.

6. Never were orator and material so perfectly matched.

7. I still long for a HAPPY ending to that book

the one where he takes a bite of the green slop

then spits it out!

proclaiming, as I told you again and a gam, I do NOT like green eggs and ham!

I told you I wouldn't
and I found out it's true
I do not like them
so shut up, you.
