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?

My eyes crossed just reading that. The only meaning I could glean from it is that America is very important so we need to know who to support because they can't do much without America.

A Palin Word Salad Magarita with a Card Highball chaser...

You're one mean bartender, aren't you?

I honestly don't recall, but it wouldn't surprise me: Huckabee is a Southern Baptist minister and he has made traditionally Southern Baptist disparaging remarks about Mormon theology.

I would guess Huckabee might as well have made a DVD commentary track to The God Makers as far as Card is concerned.

Can't wait for the sixth and seventh generations of the Sea Org.

That's just about totally incoherent. And yet, she's probably right that we don't know as much as we think we do.

In fairness to the former governor, if someone were to accurately transcribe my spoken words I'm sure it would look something like this most of the time. But in context (I presume) people can follow what I'm going on about.

You're linking to a site quoting a conservative American politician, with a byline that sources a highly liberal American publication, operating from a domain registered to IRAN? My head is spinning.

"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."

Seems to me that she is taking the (IMO accurate) position that America doesn't know what its own core values are, and this makes it difficult to form coherent policy. Of course, that may be an accident, where she meant to convey something else entirely.

"...Fox News Channel for cable TV, with conservative and libertarian commentators at night and scrupulously balanced news coverage all the rest of the time (which independent monitors have verified again and again -- Fox News is the only television coverage that even tries to be even-handed)."


Say what?
