Sarah “Aphasic” Palin
I know the more we attack Sarah Palin, the more her supporters love her, but I am so tired of hearing her half-assed attempts at producing grammatical sentences of English that I feel it is time someone say something.
Almost every time I see this poor woman speak, she makes some egregious grammatical error. Most recently here.
“We’re fighting two wars, with a force strength in need of rebuilding, not in being gutted,”
First off, “force strength.” You can almost see the rusty cogs feebly trying to turn in there, but I am sorry. I am not OK with “force strength.”
Second, she got caught somewhere beween
“not in need of being gutted,” and
“not of being gutted,”
But where she ended up is most certainly NOT English.
You know, she is exactly like a parrot. She is very good at mimicking human speech, but when it comes down to it, the internal machine that turns out human language is missing from her brain.
Is it too much to ask for our political leaders to be able to string words together into something we recognize as a part of our native language? America is in need of intelligent leaders, not in being led by this woman.
