Here's a treat for ya...The Guardian reviews Palin's speech yesterday......this is hilarious

[dixiegrrrrl]

2 examples, but there is so much hilarity here:

And so it begins. These two really look great next to each other, don’t they? When in the same room, their spray tans seem almost human. Imagine a hyper-intelligent species from another galaxy coming to Earth and intercepting the satellite feed of this horrendous speech. First of all, they’d have no idea how to decipher our language and second, they’d assume Valencia oranges were our babies.

Instead of leaving the stage for a pee break or sitting down outside of the frame like anyone else would, Trump lingers. He just stands there like the Colossus of Rhodes, breaking character only to give a thumbs up or smile when Palin forms a complete sentence.

1. That is a perfect summary that while funny, is also pretty scary, too.

But I had to listen to her diatribe again, just to compare notes with Dave Schilling.

And now, Palin totally falls apart and starts speaking as though a tiny man with a cattle prod is silently electrocuting her underneath her podium while she tries to finish her remarks.

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. Found the perfect pic to go with it......

[hifiguy]

6. In that picture both of these inexplicable homunculi

look very much like audio-animatronic creations of the Disney studio. What's up with that?

[countryjake]

8. Here's the perfect answer for that shit-eating grin of his...

[ejbr]

10. He looks mortified in that pic n/t

[hifiguy]

18. You know that's the first and only time

I have ever seen Trumpolini actually look somewhat embarrassed.

[Takket]

43. why is she pointing at his crotch?

never mind.... please, no one answer that question. I don't even want to think about it

[PWPippin]

28. As I read recently, it's as though the wheel's still spinning, but the hamster's dead.

[countryjake]

36. And the awful part - that witless hamster is trying to represent our government.

Have you seen this?

Patton Oswalt Just DESTROYED Sarah Palin In This Hilariously Accurate Impression (TWEETS)

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/01/21/patton-oswalt-just-destroyed-sarah-palin-in-this-hilariously-accurate-impression/

~snip~

If Sarah was holding a giant flashing neon sign during the speech that said “Please mock me,” it couldn’t have invited ridicule more than she already had within the first one minute of speaking. Needless to say, some of our more liberally bent comedians took to it like wolves to red meat.

Patton Oswalt took notice of her shenanigans and decided to deliver his own blistering impression of an average Sarah Palin speech, which you can read below...

It gives me a chuckle reading all of these wild responses to the gibberish disguised as a speech that our nation was subjected to yesterday, but it only makes me miss David Letterman.

I can just hear him saying, ""And we wonder why they hate us."

[dixiegrrrrl]

42. Patton.." 10 minutes of humming"

[countryjake]

45. ...vroom vroom (that was a snowmobile, not a car engine sound)

When she said "squirmishes" again, I had a distinct deja vu of some late-night comedian, Jimmy Kimmel or maybe Stephen Colbert, it's been so long ago that I can't remember which jokester it was who defined her new word as what happens when a bunch of worms get into a fight.

Letterman expressed regret on his retirement when he heard that Trump was running for president last year.

Palin's return to the political arena is great fodder for comedy but I think that it also marks a sad state of affairs for all of us. Listening to her spewing such garbage gives me the shivers along with making me seriously nauseous... laughter is fleeting because she is all too real.

[spanone]

2. K&R...

[icymist]

3. Great article! Thanks for the laugh!

As Palin ploughs on, Trump’s teeth finally make an appearance on the campaign trail. As disturbingly white as those teeth may be, it’s preferable to his pursed mouth that looks like he’s about to kiss a live salmon.

Cool grandma Sarah decides to let it all hang out and toss some hot jive: “You know, they stomp on our neck, and then they tell us, ‘Just chill, OK just relax.’ Well, look, we are mad, and we’ve been had. They need to get used to it.” This is truly the “I Have a Dream” speech for idiots.

[3catwoman3]

22. Stomping on necks is a specialty...

...of a memorable Rand Paul supporter.

[oioioi]

5. "a human being who speaks like the comment thread underneath a YouTube video"

brilliant.

[LongTomH]

7. Can I get a 'Holy Shit!!!!".......er, Hallelujah

[pangaia]

9. HOLY SHIT !!!!!

[onethatcares]

11. I

just peed my pants......... Gaud, it was my last clean pair of jeans too.

[smiley]

12. This has to be performance art

That's the only logical explanation.

[malaise]

13. Delish

Nailed it

[onecent]

14. K & R GREAT!!!!

[hopemountain]

15. she is hideous &

so is trump.

[Cassiopeia]

16. Seeing those two stand together reminds me we should spay and neuter.

It's the responsible thing to do.

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. LOL!!!

I'm with ya.....

[gratuitous]

17. For context, see the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode titled "Darmak"

Thumbnail synopsis: The Enterprise goes to a planet to make contact with the inhabitants. Another Federation ship had visited years before, but wrote off the planet as speaking incomprehensible gibberish. Picard makes contact with the leader of the planet, who seems friendly enough, but keeps talking about "Darmak and Gelaad at Tenagra." When Picard can't make hide nor hair of what he's talking about, the leader intones, "Shaka, when the walls fell."

Eventually, the crew figures out that the inhabitants speak a shorthand dialect that references popular myths or historical events. But since they don't know the stories being referred to, they are in the dark about what the planet wants or how to establish friendly relations. The leader of the planet finally makes the ultimate sacrifice to get Picard to understand that his people want to establish relations with the Federation. The Enterprise has to depart, but leaves behind a survey team to suss out the planet's stories and establish a basis for communication.

In the same way, Palin speaks in a dialectic shorthand that refers to the myths and histories that the members of her tribe tell each other over and over again. They're so familiar with the stories that comprehensible sentences or fully-formed thoughts aren't necessary: Those inside the tribe know what she's talking about. When Palin crams ten passwords together in the space of a few seconds, her audience gets what she's talking about as if she held forth for five minutes or more. In fact, by avoiding any detail or nuance, each member of her audience can fill in the gaps in the way most pleasing to each of them, and experience those Rich Lowry starbursts again as if for the first time.

This tribe, unlike that of Darmak, isn't interested in friendly relations with outsiders.

[hifiguy]

19. That is one of my favorite non-Data STNG episodes.

A tour de force from Stewart and the actor who played the planet's leader.

[Demit]

29. The great Paul Winfield.

Also had a great arc in the Wiseguy tv series.

[zeemike]

21. I think you have solved it.

That makes sense...a dialectic shorthand that the tribe understands.

[ronnie624]

25. +1. n/t

[ChisolmTrailDem]

27. I agree with the way you put your words together here. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Very perceptive.

and it DOES explain the impassioned members of the flock who have said "she is talking to me, she knows me"

Sort of a Babel Fish Rorschach test.

[diane in sf]

35. That's the way I interpret her speech as well. It's also like listening to small children

Or crazy people who think you can read their mind.

[Melissa G]

39. !

The problem with friendly relations with other tribes is that it messes with their version of reality.

[Sentath]

40. Thank You for also seeing this and providing a framework that I might be able to use to explain it.

I don't know if she writes for herself or just updates and interprets, but parts of this were really tightly coded.

I think my favorite phrase in is was 'Greek columns'. It would take me 3-5 paragraphs to unpack those two words.

[Solly Mack]

48. Excellent explanation.

[LynneSin]

20. Those two looking really great? Sure if I'm into overly botox'd women and bad combover men!

However I kinda prefer more natural looking women and men!

[Gman]

23. I read her speech. Now I can't unread it

I don't know what I'll do.

[3catwoman3]

24. I am paraphrasing the iconic line from the...

...Poltergeist movie - "She's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ack!"

I will have to change my usual response to hearing anything about Sarah Palin from "Damn you, John McCain," to "Damn you, Donald Trump!"

It was nice while she was semi-gone.

[YOHABLO]

26. She is incapable of speaking with any coherency. Truly amazing he would want her endorsement.

[smirkymonkey]

32. Hysterical! Thanks for the laugh!

But tell me, are most Graun commenters Daily Mail refugees? They are some of the most miserable, bitter, hateful people I have ever encountered on a message board.

[JudyM]

33. "No matter what you think of the man’s hateful, moronic rhetoric, at least it’s coherent."

Actually... Yeah, maybe sometimes...

[delrem]

34. That was some read!

I can't bear to watch much of US politics directly.

I can't watch the debates for whatever party, it's so grotesque. Not necessarily because of the candidates from whatever party, but because of the Beyond Thunderdome context designed by the MSM and co-signed by all of those paying the freight.

I can only stand a few youtube snips of actual discussion by the pundits at MSNBC, FOX, Washington Post, etc. It is so awful.

[Mendocino]

37. Incoherent nonsensical rambling,

add that to her puffy looking face leads me to believe that sitting up in Wasilla drinking cheap beer and homemade plonk all winter is taking its toll.

[Katashi_itto]

38. I think they are awesome. They will do historical things, Unimagined by the even the

greatest fevered imaginings of a Hieronymus Bosch painting.

This quote stands out "Was this speech written, or was it found at the bottom of the ocean next to the Cloverfield monster?"

They are a couple truly, Lovecraftian in scale.

[whatthehey]

41. We did this to ourselves

Over at least two and probably three generations hoi polloi have not just devalued but denied the practice of teaching children and students that correct use of language and logic is an important skill. We are told we can't invalidate Special Snowflake's "cultural identity" by insisting they use standard English. We have been called "snob" or "Grammar Nazi" or, occasionally by the few remaining who can manage the multiple syllables, "pretentious" for using it ourselves. Pop culture sputters out venom about "ivory towers" and "disconnected academics" who can neither offer anything of value nor even relate to "real people" as if the intellectually limited were a separate, and superior, species. We snidely post "TL-DR" on anything with depth and nuance beyond the level of an ad jingle, and think that brevity is always wit and never the absence of wits.

Fifty years of that and you get people who think Caribou Barbie is the realest and superiorest of all, because we collectively have told them so their entire lives. Another thread today mentioned Buckley and Vidal. They would be laughed out of the studio today for expecting "real people" to understand their hi-falutin book larnin'. We didn't fall so far. We jumped, and dragged our children off with us.

[dixiegrrrrl]

44. Intentional destruction of education is now a master plan, starting with Bush.

Down here, 9th graders are taught history about the Civil War ers.
That history BEGINS with post Reconstruction dates.
a short paragraph covers the actual War.

[6000eliot]

46. She seems to just string a bunch of keywords (probably written on her palm) together

with no concern about logic or coherence.

[Bucky]

47. I love's Trump's shit-eating grin in these pictures. He's sly & evil rather than dumb & evil...

I'm sure he's in pain, trying to look supportive during this deathmatch between Mrs Palin and the English language
