Sarah Palin Baffles Reporters By Rehashing Stump Speech At RGA Conference

Sarah Palin said today that she doesn't want to comment on the strategy behind the McCain/Palin campaign now that it's over, which is too bad, because that's basically the only thing (besides her aspirations for 2012, and snow machines) that anyone wants to talk to her about. BUT! That doesn't mean she's ready to give up on the stock stump speech she gave over and over again on the trail, though, apparently to the utter bafflement of reporters who are, by now, really bored to tears with the travails of Tito The Builder.

Jonathan Capehart told MSNBC's David Shuster, "I watched her entire speech, and I had to remind myself that the election was a week ago, and this was not a McCain/Palin rally." Is that crazy white-haired lady who thought Obama was "an Arab" a Republican Governor? Probably! "Everything you heard at a McCain/Palin rally since she was selected as the Vice Presidential nominee since September, and even down to the same rhetoric was in that speech," said Capehart.

Jonathan Martin added that Palin's speech was "perplexing" and "jarring," which are the two nicest things ever said about a Palin speech. He added that he wasn't "sure if she wanted to, you know, re-litigate the past campaign or look forward and diagnose where the party should go from here. And it was sort of a little bit of both, but also neither."

Capehart added, "She needs to stop." And, according to David Shuster, 52% of people polled agree that it's time for Sarah Palin to go home. By contrast, 45% say they can't get enough of her. Funny how those numbers seem to correspond with another large accounting of the American electorate that was recently taken!

Why doesn't Sarah go to Eye-rack and "entertain" the troops? She could do her stump speech and to them it would seem like comedy.

I say cut Palin a little slack, you know how long it must have taken her to memorize that stump speech. She's obvioiusly not capable of knowing more than one speech at a time. She'll continue to trot out her campaign speech for at least the next several months regardless if its appropriate to her speaking venue.

She is not fit to lace Obama's boots - let alone speak his name.

He is as far above her as it is possible to get.

As David Brooks said. "She is a cancer."

Now that there's no immediate danger of her becoming president, I can't get enough of her. The more people see of her, the more likely it becomes that she will never be president. Keep on talking, Governor!

Reports are baffled by her speech? I find THAT baffling!

[momwithopinions]

This is hilarious! I wondered what her speech would be like and whether it would be obvious that she wrote it or if it would be something new that she had a speechwriter put together. I wonder if the RGA is p.i.s.s.e.­d that she was given this opportunity and wasted it. Rehashing her (failed) stump speech? Nice.

This is like watching the Britney Spears train wreck !

[zippywpinhead]

maybe she'll shave her head...

[GrainneKathleen]

It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall.... I agree with those last lines, though: she just needs to STOP!
