Because only awesomeness can come from googling sarah palin egypt

From the lips of America's next President:

"And nobody yet has, nobody yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and no, not, not real enthused about what it is that that's being done on a national level and from DC in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And, in these areas that are so volatile right now, because obviously it's not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And, we do not have all that information yet."

On a completely unrelated note


I'm linking to this Card essay on talk radio because I have an honest question: has Card always been this cool on Huckabee?

I tried to arrange her utterances in the form of verse. Works better.

Hmmm.. I wonder if we can infer her thoughts from the random jingoisms she seemingly is spouting out:

"And nobody yet has, nobody yet has explained to the American public what they know
> People are stupid unless told what to think.

, and surely they know more than the rest of us know
> But I need to make them feel good about their ignorance, complement them.

who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak
> Quick, say something topical!

and no, not, not real enthused about what it is that that's being done on a national level
> don't use the "I" word, never use it, the speach coaches must be right some of the time.

and from DC
> opps, off topic, get back to nailing the big 'O'.

in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt.
> oh right, we're talking about Egypt not 'I' and election to DC.

And, in these areas that are so volatile right now,
> Yes, nailed the fore-shadowing of danger on that one!

because obviously it's not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings,
> Need to sound connected on a world stage, I R important

we know that now more than ever,
> hey, look! I making us know what we don't know, go me!

we need strength and sound mind there in the White House.
> whew, avoided the 'I' word again, go me!

We need to know what it is that America stands for
> stand together behind me!

so we know who it is that America will stand with.
> so I woun't be standing alone

And, we do not have all that information yet."
> out of time, quickly wrap up about not knowing since they need ME to know.

Good translation, butthere is one line I'd like to submit an alternate interpretation of:

Palin: "because obviously it's not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings,"

which you construe as

"Need to sound connected on a world stage, I R important"

I think might actually be Palinese for "Shit, I can't remember the name of any other country."
