Well done, Kevin.  I would suggest a compare and contrast video with the (aggravatingly) number of times she smacked her lips during her convention speech.

Ha! Doing this one nearly killed me, so I think I’ll take a pass.

Wow! Talk about WAITING TO EXHALE!

It’s a masterwork, Kevin.

My favorite is at 20 seconds in, where it sounds like a sheep joins in for the first time.

Of course, it could be a duck, but I know little or nothing about Alaskan politics.

I love the few actual utterances. “A fish in a photograph” is going to have to stand for something—-I’m just not sure what yet. Though Ms. Sarah’s doing a pretty good fish-out-of-water-impression.

She has the labored wheeze of someone who has blown a lung out tuggin’ on a crack pipe.  Sad.

that’s just disturbing on so many levels.

Also. From that speech:

Nah, only dead fish “go with the flow”.

Erm. No. Salmon migrate downstream and out to sea to feed up, as do sea trout and a few other species, and if freshwater eels didn’t go with the flow, they’d never be able to breed in the Sargasso Sea.

For a supposed expert hunter, her grasp of natural history is evidently on a par with her grasp of - well, anything but self-interest.

HA! Made my day. Thanks!

That’s not how I’m WIRED!!!!!??????

She did at least a quarter to stay up all night and write that verb snarl, then a few bumps right before air time.

It’s more than obvious that not only is she speeding her fucking brain out, but she’s been up for a while, too.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going, like REALLY going.

She’s a real energizer bunny that one.

JFK used to meth up before speeches, but he had the sense to sleep the night before.

I suspected she might be a tweak, but this performance is text book meth behavior to a ‘T’, or at least a ‘quarter T’.

Ha ha, I noticed the great big gulping breaths she took during the speech too. Thought it might have something to do with the altitude.

At first I figured her sudden resignation must be a precursor to some major scandal coming to light. But now I’m not so sure. Apparently she quit her other public jobs to pursue something bigger.

She may have just miscalculated how this looks, especially if she’s completely surrounded by sycophants. And I have no doubt she is.

She didn’t finish her term as mayor, stepping down to run for Lt. Governor. She didn’t finish her term on the petroleum board ethics panel, she resigned in protest and then ran for Governor.

This is just some of the track record regarding Palin’s supposedly “superior” experience that allowed me to sift out the Palinite nutjobs - either woefully ignorant or wilfully dishonest - during the election campaign and since, and safely dismiss their opinions on her and most other things.

It’s relatively easy to pad a CV given some luck, shady sponsors in high places, and a sub-Machiavellian ability to manipulate others, until prospective employers ask impertinent questions like “Why exactly did you leave these posts (not to mention the checkered academic career) before their terms were run?”

@KK—Great video! Editing heavy breathing, lip smacking and cottonmouth out of professional VO sessions is the most nauseating work in the business, yet you make it seem almost joyful.

@scooter—Good call. You don’t have to be a former speed freak to know EXACTLY what that press conference was all about, but it certainly helps.

Sarah’s first move as an out-of-work politician is likely to be a 28-day vacation in a secluded hideaway where everyone gets all the pudding and cold cuts they can eat, but you’re only allowed to smoke three cigarettes a day and you have to watch a ton of shitty movies about diseased brains and livers.

Sarah is going to “Camp Crazy” to work out a little “energy” problem she developed on the campaign trail.

Congrats Kevin, you’ve just made this blog the number one stop for horny fReichtards. Sure, they’ll talk about how mean and nasty you are, but that won’t stop them from watching this over and over and over.

But then any excuse to talk about vaginas in public, eh, clownyboy?

Yeah well, that’s the closest he’ll ever get to one, if you don’t count barnyard animals.

She may have just miscalculated how this looks, especially if she’s completely surrounded by sycophants. And I have no doubt she is.

Betty, I think this is exactly what happened. She has no rational or intelligent person in her camp brave enough to tell her that she is being a freaking idiot.  Even if she does I don’t think she bothered to run it by anyone besides the Palin clan, her spokeswoman and Greta.  And they all had the same thought which is “that’ll show’em”.  I’m convinced that they thought this was going to be a masterstroke.
  I have to admit that for a second there I actually thought she may have grown a brain and a heart and decided to pull her kids out of the political maelstrom…

I’m convinced that they thought this was going to be a masterstroke.

BTW, while we are on the subject of masterstroking…well done with the “breath to nowhere” vid Kevin…

Darth Palin!

I think Sarah thought the “speech” was a masterstroke after she gave it.

Yeah, well—she also thought she had just given it to 95,000 screaming fans at the Beijing Olympic Stadium, and she was striding triumphantly offstage on her way to an important meeting with Elvis, the Grey Aliens and Princess Leia.

She should go easy on the crystal meth before running.

Yeah.  Weird.  Nice job, Kevin.

Kevin,

Kevin, I am awarding you a virtual medal for your heroic work toward the common good of all mankind.

In spite of her forced smiling muscles, this is clearly not the speech of a happy woman at peace with her decision. 

The comment above may be correct, that after she steps down her first action could be a discreet rehab clinic.  Something is very wrong in her life.  Just for clarification this is a RUMOR.
