Palin doesn’t have a very good speaking voice.
However, that is NOT IMPORTANT. We shouldn’t be chosing our politicians based on looks, voice, clothing, etc. (not to mention race and gender).
I’m not comparing S. Palin to A. Lincoln (`Baberaham Lincoln’?) but Abe is said to have had a high, annoying speaking voice. And when he laughed (I read somewhere) it was a high-pitched cackling—`Hee hee hee.’
We’ve experienced form-over-substance since 2009.
More screeching, less sonorous baritone!
