Those leaders who followed seem intent on helping the beast back onto its feet.
She said George Washington? Are you sure? I believe her answer was “All of them.” Am I wrong?
PALIN: You know, well, all of them because they came collectively together with so much diversity in terms of belief but collectively they came together to form this union.
Bullcrap, Beck retorted. Whos your favorite? Palin then finally settled on George Washington because he returned power to the people and then went back to Mount Vernon to farm. Beck agreed:
PALIN: They were led by, of course, George Washington. So hes got to rise to the top. Washington was the consummate statesman. He served, he turned power to the people. He didnt want to be a king. He returned power to the people. Then he went back to Mount Vernon. He went back to his farm. He was almost reluctant to serve as president too and thats who you need to find to serve in government, in a bureaucracy those who you know will serve for the right reasons because theyre reluctant to get out there and seek a limelight and seek power. Theyre doing it for the people, that was George Washington.
BECK: He is my favorite for that reason as well.
Thank you sergeantdave.
