Pardon me if this has already made the rounds, but it’s hilarious. I hadn’t actually heard or read the Palin speech before. Now that I have … I’m speechless. Another Palin WTF moment.
And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature’s finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In the winter time it’s the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn’t it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs?
And then in the summertime such extreme summertime about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than just some months ago, than just some months from now, with fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here, Mother Nature wins. It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future.I have never believed her to be a serious name for 2012. I was positive she’d fade away as a humourous footnote in the Obama story. But now it seems that her nomination in 2012 would be the perfect end game in the GOP’s slide into irrelevancy.
