is sarah palin a real person or is that just a persona she puts on? [View all]

i'm serious, this is like being stuck in some absurd, surreal movie.

i just heard her speak on the teevee. jibberish delivered with a cartoon voice, with cartoon facial expressions....

what she said made absolutely no sense.

it's hard to believe that anyone takes her halfway seriously.

says more about the nation than ms palin.
