	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: The Gift that Keeps on Giving Wednesday, July 22, 2009 The Gift that Keeps on Giving Vanity Fair has posted a marked up version of Sarah Palin's legendary resignation speech, and it's both depressing and amusing. They did the whole speech (earning bonus hazard pay, one would hope), with blue ink for formatting errors, green for factual/research problems, and red for grammatical corrections. Needless to say, there's more red than black, in most of the paragraphs. Here's the start; click through to see the whole thing. That her rambling, speech-like oration would have gotten her booed off the podium in any high school speech class is indisputable. Fortunately for Palin, her and her husband's inability to write a speech isn't really a problem, since she's so defiantly campaigning for the support of the ignorant rabble. Not being able to talk so purty is actually a boon when aiming for the hard right fringe of the Republican party, since it's sort of a "folks like us" credential. If she'd delivered the address the Vanity Fair editors transformed hers into, much less one of Obama's intellectually-appealing orations, it would have been a far by any objective, public speaking criteria... but less effective and resonating with the audience it was intended for. They might have appreciated more the words, but there's a whole luggage train of cultural baggage pulled by Palin's "Aw shucks-isms," that wouldn't be so easily hitched to a slick, professional speech-maker. Among the many benefits of Palin throwing a fit at halftime, quitting the team, and walking out of the arena to try and get a job with a better team (to co-op her chosen basketball point guard metaphor), is the fact that she'll now be making regular appearances on unscripted talk shows, thus greatly increasing the frequency with which she'll bestow upon the American public the unique blend of non sequiturs, malapropisms, and disconnected talking points that make up her spoken dialogue.
