Sarah-babble

Actual response from Sarah Palin to question from Katie Couric about the proposed bailout:

That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in. Where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh, it’s got to be about job creation, too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade — we have got to see trade as opportunity, not as, uh, competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation.

First, reducing taxes has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief? Does she have a clue what she is saying? Does she just throw words together?

Second, she makes George W. Bush sound eloquent.

Third, I would love to have my old eighth grade teacher, Sister Joan Marie, ask her to diagram one of those sentences.
