Sarah Palin: Out of Control Talking Point Machine or Political Magnetic Poetry?
Sarah Palin's first interview, with Charles Gibson, was painful. Her latest rounds with Katie Couric build on that discomfort and add mystery. As in: What's she saying?
Here's Couric asking Palin about the bailout:
If you can't see it, Couric asks Palin whether it mightn't be a good idea to spend the $700 billion on things like helping people get healthcare, gas, and groceries rather than on a Wall Street bailout.
Palin: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Helping the—it's got to be all about job creation too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans and trade—we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as competitive, scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today—we've got to look at that as more opportunity.
It's like a talking points machine gone out of control. Or magnetic poetry that you have on your fridge—in fact, you can try it at home. String together key words and phrases like "shore up the economy," "reduce tax rates," "healthcare reform," and "trade" and see what kind of Palinisms you can create.

SARAH PALIN POEM AMERICAN PATRIOT
SARAH PALIN AMERICAN PATRIOT
She chose their opportunities
To become strong, not weak
By pulling up her boot straps
She acquired the dreams we seek.
Her personal goals of well being
Will never stand in the way
Of doing her public duty
No matter what others may say.
Her devotion shall prove contagious
It's the brilliance of her kind
What you find within her
Is great character of mind.
With faith and courage, she must live
For her life to be complete
With good morals and family life
She’ll triumph, even in defeat.
She was raised to participate
Within her community
With her fellow men and women
She'll enrich life and liberty.
Thank You For Being
"A Soldier For The Lord"

SARAH PALIN POEM = SOLDIER FOR THE LORD
SARAH PALIN POEM
SOLDIER FOR THE LORD
She's a soldier for the Lord
Who’s been up and who's been down
Though while on the battlefield
She has never turned around.
She'll face more than flesh and blood
With the devil's evil hoard.
But they shall not steal her soul
For she swings our Lord's swift sword.
She wears all of God's armor
With helmet, breastplate and shield.
As Satan’s arrows fly by
From his archers of the field.
The devil casts his dark net
Over any he may charm.
He’ll lead them from salvation
With his hands upon their arm.
She battles evil daily
And prays that you’ll join her.
She gives new hope for this world
To be better then we were.
