Quick citation before bed

Let me get this straight, when Obama uses a little Deval Patrick he’s a plagiarizing weasel, but when Palin spends the night spinning Reagan’s corpse in the grave she’s orating? Did I get that right?

In case there is any question about her using someone else’s word, go ahead and read the transcript and search a few of the phrases that seemed a bit too smooth. Even the scripted “there you go again,” came from someone else’s improv. The flagrant bit was in her closing statements. I’ll let the New Republic weblog spell that one out. “Sunset years,” my ass.

Actually, it’s really interesting to read the transcripts. The YouBetchas and darns and doggones seem highly cheesy but authentic (like the mom’s of my childhood who would say “god love ya,” and “Jesus, Mary and Joseph”). Authentic seemingly are the strange outpouring of words in different directions. But, all in all, I think it’s safe to say she had a whole lot of fucking help to even get this far.

I mean, come on is there actually a verb predicate kind of thingy here?

PALIN: A two-state solution is the solution. And Secretary Rice, having recently met with leaders on one side or the other there, also, still in these waning days of the Bush administration, trying to forge that peace, and that needs to be done, and that will be top of an agenda item, also, under a McCain-Palin administration.
