Friends, Romneybots, CBSnewmen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Palin, not to praise her.
The gaffes that candidates do lives after them;
The good is oft interred on the cutting-room floor;
So let it be with Palin. The noble Frum
Hath told you Palin was uncultured:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Palin answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brooks and the rest -
For Brooks is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men -
Come I to speak in Palin's funeral.
She was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Wallace says she was rebellious;
And Wallace is an honourable woman.
She hath brought many operatives home to Wasilla
Whose ransoms did the Alaska coffers fill:
Did this in Palin seem ambitious?
When that mothers of special-needs children have cried, Palin hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Couric says she was out of touch;
And Couric is an honourable womman.
You all did see that on the Campaign
I thrice prevented her an open microphone,
Which she did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Schmidt says she was dishonest;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Schmidt spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love her once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for her?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the Tea Party there with Palin,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

Schmidt, Couric, Wallace, Brook, etc. are not good enough to be called bastards. Most bastards are the result of an unplanned birth involving two parents!

But these are self made.

Well worth the time.

If only liberals were that clever? Then again, if they were, they wouldn't be liberals.
