Perhaps we didn’t listen to the same speech! Clearly, she revealed what she wanted to reveal and kept what she was not ready to reveal. Only her critics found her resignation speech not to be understandable, it seems to me. Haven’t we had enough of “great oratory” for one political season, meaning fine style and no substance?
Her speech was filled with rambling sentences, run-on sentences, heavy breathing before she rambled onto the next few words, and on and on.
She is not in any way an accomplished speaker, although she is the opposite of Obambi. While he punctuates his speeches with "hmmmmms" and "ahhhhhs" while he's searching his pea-sized brain, Palin fills the void with a lot of fragmented nonsense.
