From the sounds of it, that's all she has in common with Sarah. If I can believe the FR response. Which I believe I can.

[Clinging Bitterly]

Best the Republicans can do? I should really turn in my card.

[Political Junkie Too]

I can't explain it, but I suddenly have a craving for peas.

Just wow. Cheering, cheering, cheering. Where’s the COACH with the gameplay?

[riri]

The kid dances to Bruce Springstein? WTH is her target audience?

The GOP is beyond hope.

[caww]

I know...what idiot put her up to this nonsense...good grief she’s suppose to be responding to Obama’s speech and she’s buying into his plan.

WoW! What a soft sell of Obamas speech...I bet the Democrats are loving it!

FWIW, when I spell it out (opposed to copy-n-paste), I too spell it TEA.

[Windflier]

Good grief this gal is fully supporting and re-peating just what Obama spoke about...she’s so far offering nothing at all.

I've still got the volume down low, so it sounds like Barbara Bush giving a speech. Is she really just repeating Obama's talking points? If so, there'll be hell to pay on the talk shows tomorrow, and Twitter is gonna light up like crazy tonight.

[ The repub response is vapid.

The last time I was talked to like this was in kindergarten. ]

It is almost as if the GOPe is saying “Now settle down you little tea party children, see we are conservative too....”

[ctdonath2]

Link to transcript? Need to know what he said (”know your enemies” and all that) but sure don’t want to expend time hearing it emerge from his mouth.

[dragnet2]

She sounds like she’s speaking to a 3rd grade class room...

wow...

[P-Marlowe]

The last time I was talked to like this was in kindergarten.

Al Gore always talks like this. Just assuming his audience is a bunch of pre-school children.

We are from the government and we know what is best for you.

Best the Republicans can do? I should really turn in my card.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Washington state RINO?

[Revolting cat!]

"I believe that there's no use beating a dead horse, you don't change horses in mid-stream, and it is better to let sleeping dogs lie. I promise nothing."

Weak! I would have said:

"The dead horse is out of the barn, no use beating it in mid-stream!"
