Palinisms

"Sitting here in these chairs that I’m going to be proposing but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it’s our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable, not being just one of many just casting votes or voting present every once in a while, we don’t get away with that. We have to balance budgets and we’re dealing with multibillion dollar budgets and tens of thousands of employees in our organizations." - Palin

I'm always amazed at how poorly she speaks. I mean... is this even English? And if so, what
exactly is she saying? Sure, there are many politicians that have made a career out of saying nothing, but the difference is that at least these politicians manage to say nothing while at least sounding intelligent. Palin just sounds like someone that either is dumb as a door nail or has such a poor command of the language that they get lost in their own sentences.

Postscript: I've said in an earlier post about how much I hate to proof-read and the funny kind of mistakes I find when I do. Since this post is specifically about language, perhaps I better read this over at least once...
