The Woman Who Would Be King





















This is an excerpt from an interview of Sarah Palin by conservative columnist William Kristol:
Palin said that she told [her son] that she had a debate that night. “And he says, ‘Yeah, I heard, Mom,’ and he says, ‘Have you been studying?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I have,’ and he goes, ‘O.K., well I’ll be praying.’ I’m like — total role reversal here, that’s what I’ve been telling him for 19 years.”
Nice.  A vice-president who says "goes" when she means 'said', and 'I'm like --' when she means nothing in particular.  This is the speech of not-too-bright teenagers in a seedy mall.  This is the woman who may soon be at the Helm of State, sitting in the place where Jefferson, Lincoln, and Kennedy have sat.
