Sarah Palin's Energy Speech Disaster
There is a You Tube video with an excerpt of her energy speech. While watching, I compared it to the speech transcript at John McCain's website.
When one follows both simultaneously, one can only conclude that Sarah Palin has a talent for taking a prepared speech and making it worse with her ad libs. Her personal additions added nothing to the content of the speech, mangled the English language, and were self serving.
We already know that Sarah Palin is incapable of answering questions of substance and policy in a meaningful way. The comparison I made led me to conclude that she is unable to meaningfully deliver a written speech.
Wow.

GOP announces fun new interactive video game called "Scripted or Mad Libbed?" featuring that spunky, twinkly burst of fresh air, Gov. Sarah Palin delivering major policy speeches around the country.
Players watch video clips of the winsome Governor and mark their playing cards either "scripted" meaning she followed the prepared speech or "mad libbed" the selected portion. If a player guesses correctly, he or she chugs a shot glass of his or her favorite beverage. If a player gets it wrong, it's a tumbler full of moonshine and into the penalty box they go, where they have to name -- in alphabetical order -- ordinary citizens and their occupations like Albert the Astronaut, Brent the Breeder, Carla the Car Washer, Dina the Dishwasher and so on. If they don't get out of penalty box, it's Five Minutes in Hell with Joe the Plumber! What happens in the locked closet is anybody's guess!
This game is not yet rated. Brief nudity and loads of profanity may occur. Batteries not included. Not intended for use by children and teenagers. Parental discretion encouraged.

Very good. The best part of the game is that you have to drink regardless of whether or not you are correct because it is difficult to listen to Palin when you are sober...

I missed her speech. I was really disappointed that the media did not hit more on her huge gaffe regarding autism research and then cutting the 'ear mark' for studies on fruit flies where the greatest advancement in identifyng the cause of autism came from studying fruit flies. It seemed to float right by with the exception of Kieth Olberman and Rachel Maddow.
I saw a small clip of her speech and she sounded kind of ridiculous like a kid pretending to be running for vice president giving a policy speech.
