Title: Sarah Palin's Gridiron Speech
Post by: seabelle on December 06, 2009, 11:19:47 AM
Greta just posted the transcript to her blog:

Sarah's got spunk !  It'll be interesting how the media covers it, eh?  Here's a snippet:

Quote
It is good to be here and in front of this audience of leading journalists and intellectuals. Or, as I

call it, a death panel.

To be honest, I had some serious reservations about coming to visit your cozy little club. The

Gridiron still hasn’t offered membership to anyone from my hometown paper in Wasilla, the

Matanuska-Susitna Valley Frontiersman.

And my dad thought it was just a plain bad idea to leave the book tour for some football game.

He might have a point!

I’ve been touring this great, great land of ours over the last few weeks. I have to say, the view is

much better from inside the bus, than under it!

But really, I am thrilled to be with you. And I’d like to thank the Gridiron for the invitation and

Dick Cooper for his introduction.

To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, this has to be the most extraordinary collection of people who

have gathered to viciously attack me since the last corporate gathering at CBS.

Despite what you have read, or more likely, despite what you have written, I do feel a real bond

with all of you. I studied journalism, earned a communications degree and for a time only

wanted to be a journalist. I was even a television sportscaster back home.

I’m guessing some of you probably got your start the exact same way… once there was

television.

....another one.....

Quote
I know this can be a long night, and as I understand it, we’re going to break with a Gridiron

tradition. Normally, the Democrat speaker would deliver a speech after me. But instead, John

McCain’s campaign staff asked if they could use that time for a rebuttal.

A lot has been made of a few campaign relationships. The closeness. The warm fuzzy feelings.

John and I both agree all those staffers should just move past it. It’s history.

Let’s just say, if I ever need a bald campaign manager, it appears all I’m left with is James

Carville.

I don’t want to say that I’ve burned a bridge, but I know all about cancelling a bridge to

nowhere.

That Democrat speaker I referred to is, of course, the one-and-only Barney Frank.

And I’m the controversial one?

Barney, the nation owes you and the government a debt. A huge, historic, unbelievable debt.

But, it’s good to be here with you, Mr. Chairman.

Because by Chairman, I don’t just mean the House Financial Services Committee. As far as I

can tell, Barney’s also the Chair of AIG, CITI, and the Bank of America.

They are going to have to repaint the walls at the DUmp from all of the head explosions once they get wind of this.

Hey guys,

I read her book and saw photos of her husband..he can probably skin a moose blindfolded.....don't even think about it....

Personally I thought her comedy probably went over the head of most of the liberal audience, to me she was subtly giving them the finger....  Anyone else see it that way, she was putting them down for being biased big time.

why would you blindfold a moose?

Q: Hey, Sparky? Why do you blindfold a moose?

(yes, this is a sick twisted jab at Sparky and all other squidwardy types)

A: 'Cause they're too big to stump-break.

LOL, I noticed one of the first AP articles explained her jokes, even adding Democrat after James Carville.  I'm assuming they're fact checking her jokes now  :thatsright:
