Palin Quotes:

A couple of the quotes ya list *can* make sense.... #5, if you've got a high murder rate but low everything else....number 8 would be, um, 45% mental?... 10 makes sense in the same way that it does when I say "I loved Reno! I lived in (N.Cali town that's about the same distance apart as Phoenix and Cali)!" ... 13 makes sense in that "discriminate" is used in PC talk to mean unjust discrimination, not in the 'to choose between' form....
Quotes from the guy in comments aren't even inside of the same country as the _least_ amusing ones in the list. Just partisan.
Just...teh funny. There's People saying dumb things on both sides of the aisle.
I've got a post somewhere of a rep speaking Klingon on the floor of Congress... Gotta remember to find that and put it here!
