Speaking in Tongues

There are a couple of things that make me cringe while watching the tube. The Brady Bunch Reunion Special comes to mind. George Bush mangling the English language is another. Lately, I’m feeling embarrassed for Sarah Palin and for us as a nation. Now we know why they are hiding her. The few sneak peeks into her intellect just conjure up more Funniest Home Video moments that make our country look like bimbonic dumb dumbs. When asked about the bail out, she appeared to be speaking in tongues. “Well it’s all tied to national healthcare (what?) …and it’s all about job creation (really?). Is she missing what the bail out proposal is really about? Is Wall Street now tackling national healthcare and job creation? She is starting to hang herself with these—well convoluted ramblings that we do not know where they are streaming from. It's almost like watching the Miss USA pageant where the contestants share simple minded platitudes about world peace and goodness for all. I must give props to Katie Couric, she seems to be growing a pair and earning some street cred. Unlike other reporters who let politicians skate by and not answer direct questions, she persisted….actually insisted on answers. In part two, we hear Palin talk about being her state being close to Russia. She rambled, “As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America where do they go? Alaska.” This is only a preview and the world is waiting.
