...but her speech today left lots to be desired. She rambled a lot and seemed to use code at times, repeating Pass the Ball several times. And what about Alaska Looks to the North or whatever that was.

"She rambled a lot" and she "used code" at times???

Really?

Your critique is ironic. Do a google search through what Big Media had to say about her resignation statement using the keyword "rambling".

Thanks for the link. I normally don’t look at Big Media.

It seemed to me that she repeated “pass the ball so the team can win” several times, plus a phrase about “millions of dollars and wasted state time” more than once or twice, and some phrase about “More and more Alaska looks to the North for the future” which i really did not understand.

“Code” is probably not the correct phrase- she used idioms that may have been familiar to those in attendance, but were lost or obscure to others.

I’m sorry if you do not like my “rambling” opinion, but that was my impression (I’m looking for the speech to watch it a fourth time). She seemed to change direction abruptly and made several segues into asides. She presented a rapid flow of ideas that covered a broad space and touched on many varied ideas. For a “resignation speech” it was much less focused than others I have heard or read.

I knew that a post with any criticism of her would be unpopular but this is Free Republic and irony or no, I think that differing opinions should be expressed.
