‘Ma’am, you’ve got to leave the Walgreens,’ - Jon Stewart on the Palin disaster - HILARIOUS!

<snip>
But the most bizarre moment of the weekend had to be Sarah Palin's head-scratching speech, which has been described as "meandering and bizarre," "weird" and "terrible."

Here's an excerpt:

"Things must change for our government. Look at it. It isn’t too big to fail. It’s too big to succeed! It's too big to succeed, so we can afford no retreads or nothing will change with the same people and same policies that got us into the status quo. Another Latin word, status quo, and it stands for, ‘Man, the middle-class everyday Americans are really gettin’ taken for a ride.'"

“You know, that’s the kind of talk you normally hear right before the pharmacist says, ‘Ma’am, you’ve got to leave the Walgreens,’" Stewart said on Monday night's "Daily Show." “Now we know what it’s like to get cornered by Palin at an open-bar wedding."

Maybe Palin wasn't setting the stage for a presidential run in 2016. Maybe she was doing something else entirely... and Stewart thinks he knows exactly what it is.

15. As Dick Cavett said...

"She doesn't seem to have a first language."

[kentauros]

20. Did Cavett actually say that about her?

Or was it a quote for someone else? Either way

[pinboy3niner]

21. It was in an NYT column Cavett wrote about her--'The Wild Wordsmith of Wasilla'

My memory was off a bit; here's the exact quote:

Could the willingness to crown one who seems to have no first language have anything to do with the oft-lamented fact that we seem to be alone among nations in having made the word “intellectual” an insult? ....

[kentauros]

22. Thanks!

And perhaps if we're ever in a situation where someone lobs "Intellectual!" at us as some kind of insult that we should, in turn, suggest that the lobber go back to school to learn just why "intellectual" isn't an insult, and why "dolt!" is

16. Join the line

17. Reminds me of the time

they were changing out the porta-potty down at the work site and it got knocked over and all the stuff ran out ...
