quote unquote

I was skimming an article in the times and came across this Palin quote:


My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars.
And, she concluded, “never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or a continent, I just don’t know about this issue.”



Eyargh! All my favourite traits rolled into one. Incoherence, ignorance, pretension (to awareness), bad bad BAD grammar. In a person who stood to hold the second most important post in the most powerful country in the world. shudder. I going to read The Story of O to erase this from my head. >)
