Why are people pretending that Palin speaks English?
There's a disconnect here.

2. It seems to me
that she speaks the King's language, she simply doesn't understand what the hell she's saying.

3. I have conduction aphasia and often speak in an unclear way. I wonder
if she has the same problem or if she is just so fully unprepared to answer questions on world affairs that it just comes out all messed up.

5. She speaks the same sort of English that Warren Harding did
HL Mencken on Harding: 'the relations between word and meaning have long since escaped him.' (Harding's style) 'reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it.'
