Sarah Palin continues her very public nervous breakdown as she demonstrates her inability to understand the President's speech, has teleprompter problems, and misquotes the Alaska State Song.

Palin clearly did not listen the President's speech (Which you can hear for yourself right here), and simply looked for the parts that she, and RAM, felt were weaknesses in his argument.  (By the way listening to SARAH PALIN say that the President "did not articulate what our purpose was" is almost surreal.  This is a woman whose communication skills have been labeled "word salad" now telling the world that one of the greatest orators in the history of this country was "not articulate." Irony does not eve BEGIN to cover that.)

Palin's warmongering is out of control here and she seems to have no limit to her thirst for Middle Eastern blood.  (It kind of gives you a hint as to how Jeremy Morlock came by his lack of compassion for those he refers to as "ragheads" or "Haji" doesn't it?)

She clearly has no qualms with continuing the regime change philosophy embraced by George W. Bush, and seems almost sexually excited with the idea of taking Gaddafi out.

At some point during this interview it dawned me that Palin seemed very prepared for the questions Greta was posing to her.  Almost like they were scripted.

In the past I have been a little hesitant to believe that is the case, but then something happens at the 5:05 point that sort of makes it obvious.  If you notice Palin momentary looks stunned and then looks down at some notes in front of her to help her answer the questions. 

This clearly demonstrates that she was using a teleprompter, which must have malfunctioned.  She then looks at notes on the desk in front of her which MUST have been written with the full knowledge of what Greta was going to ask. Amazingly this means that as stupid as Palin sounds in this interview, she is actually using a script to help her to appear smarter!

Without this kind of help Palin would undoubtedly make an even bigger ass out of herself than she did in this interview. Which means I guess we can blame a Mansour typo for Palin's use of the word "squirmish" at the 7:13 mark.  (By the way "squirmish" is how I feel every time I have to listen to Snowdrift Snooki speak.)

At the 8:03 mark Palin suddenly brightens as if she saw a Democrat get hit by a car, because she then gets to talk about Obama's reference to the North Star. As many of you probably already know Palin uses the North Star to identify herself, and references it constantly in her speeches.

I knew the second I heard it that Palin would automatically glom onto it for later use.

"I mention the North Star so often, the North Star is part of the Alaska flag where we..up here..are able to use as our GPS, as kind of..our..our plumb line.  The great North Star with its abiding light o'er land and sea a beacon bright."

In case you "out of staters" did not catch the reference, Caribou Barbie was trying to quote directly from the Alaska State song to make her point.  Sadly she is just as ignorant of the lyrics to our anthem as she is on how to conduct foreign relations in the world.

The Alaska State Song:

Eight stars of gold on a field of blue,

Alaska's flag, may it mean to you,

The blue of the sea, the evening sky,

The mountain lakes and the flowers nearby,

The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,

The precious gold of the hills and streams,

The brilliant stars in the northern sky,

The "Bear," the "Dipper," and shining high,

The great North Star with its steady light,

O'er land and sea a beacon bright,

Alaska's flag to Alaskans dear,

The simple flag of a last frontier.

Even with the help of her now functioning teleprompter Palin is a huge fuck up.

Have I mentioned lately how glad I am that she is no longer in charge of our state?

Update: Here is the transcript of the interview. Does not appear any more intelligent in print though.
