September 3, 2011 Palin Rails Against ‘Crony Capitalism’ and ‘Career Politicians’ By JEFF ZELENY
INDIANOLA, Iowa — Sarah Palin did not say whether she would seek the Republican presidential nomination, but she made clear during a speech here on Saturday that she has no intentions of simply falling into line behind one of the party’s leading candidates.
At times she sounded like a candidate. At times she did not.
But in a 40-minute speech before a Tea Party rally here, which was one of her most expansive addresses since she accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination three years ago, she railed against “crony capitalism” in both parties. She suggested that the “permanent political class” — Republicans, too — needed to be rattled.
“You know that it’s not enough to just change up the uniform,” Ms. Palin said. “If we don’t change the team and the game plan we won’t save our country.”
Her appearance at a Tea Party of America rally drew about 2,000 people on a rainy afternoon. A persistent downpour turned the grounds of the National Balloon Classic Field about 20 miles south of Des Moines into a soggy and muddy mess, but that did not deter the crowd from sitting outdoors for several hours to await her arrival.

I'm not sure whether you're admitting to being shallow and insipid, or whether you're accusing others of the same.
Care to elaborate?
So sue me. She hurts my ears. I like to read her speeches instead.
