HONG KONG – Sarah Palin spoke to a group of private Chinese investors in Hong Kong yesterday. Despite glaring ignorance about the region, the audience, and the topic at hand, the group found her folksy and charming.
“I’m going to call it like I see it,” she said early in her speech, “and I will share with you candidly a view right from Main Street, Main Street U.S.A. First there’s a deli on the corner, next to that is the barber shop…” She then went on to describe her hometown for the next 20 minutes. The assembled group of Chinese investors were bewildered, and a little disappointed. “We hired her to get a perspective on rural America, not just her town.” While Palin was mid-way through a story about the first time she made out outside a Dairy Queen, an aide whispered in her ear and she moved on with the speech.
“Ya know, our cultures are very different, but we share common dreams. Where I come from, in America, we look up to mavericks who drift away from the herd. Here, ya’ll are like those terracotta soldiers. You respect same-ey-ness. But we can all agree that we strive for the same dreams: free-market economic opportunity without government regulation.” At this the group of investors applauded loudly.
Finding new energy, Palin’s speech rambled on for an extra 15 minutes, about how the investors should channel the strength of the ancient samurai, about the tragedy of David Carradine’s death, about the one Asian couple in Alaska that she’s “pretty sure” are Chinese, how popular Pad Thai is around the world, and how “it’s great America and China can come together like this after we kicked your butt in the war.”
The assembled investors seemed confused but enjoyed the speech thoroughly. “After years of living outside an American hegemony, it’s wonderful to see this is the person who almost ran your country.” Another anonymous guest said, “Oh she was great! I wanna hire her for my kid’s birthday!”
Sarah Palin is believed to be preparing for a possible 2012 bid for the Presidency.
Wow! I love how the Dem pukes love a successful women, oh wait that’s only when they are a Demo Lib. What a piece of crap. I hope you all love the great job your Commi leader is doing. And yes, he has proven to be worldly – has so much experience. It goes to show that he does have a gift, he said so. I’m sure most on this site have the brain power to pass a GED, go back read history. He will be a one termer, and will live along Carter as one of the worst Presidents. He does not have the mandate that he thinks he has. And his new lying judge is in line with the rest of the evil doers. Sarah is loved in Alaska, if you don’t like her then go up there and voice your opinion. Make sure you keep your phone close, you’ll need it to call for help. That’s why she was elected, people who rely on their own to provide what they need to survive. You pukes rely on the gov to help you survive, good luck. Make your own way. Here’s a fun quote. “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money” M. Thatcher. I suppose she was stupid as well right? On Dems are smart, you are really amazing. Just wait, you’ll all be looking for work soon.
Sarah quit us in Alaska. Walked out, blim blam! She is great cover in foreign countries! They'll think we don't have a clue! Maybe she's undercover CIA?
Hey, Sarah?? What war??? Call McCain, maybe he can give you some hints!!!
The scary part is that she may be intellectually in the top 1 percentile of the American Public.
of course, this commentary is all a total fabrication. I am chronically amazed at what I see on the internet. And, those of you who beleive this garbage are also amazing.
First hand, which war was she referring to. I don't remember ever being at war with CHNA, but there was a war in the Pacific with JAPAN (that's where the Samurai came from. "Same-yness?" Talk about POOR English. And referencing David Carradine? What does she think he is PART CHINESE? He may have played a half Chinese-half American on TV, but he was IRISH! If she is going to speak in another country, she needs to have some lessons in Social Studies so she can be able to know what's she's talking about and also so she doesn't risk p***ing off her audience. OR better yet,TALK about the TOPIC instead of trying to be folksie. It comes across as being so dumb that she's nothing more than just a joke.
I hope she keeps going. Pubes won't have a chance in 2010 or 2012 as long as she is on the national stage scaring the sensible (and non-nutcase far right) middle class. Let her keep talking.
YA, CHARACTER AND MORALS .She raised a daughter to get pregnant when a minor (just like mom) lied about selling a jet forprofit (at a loss and she had nothing to do with the sale) and said"nO" to the bridge to nowhere when even congressman stevens said she was always trying to get money for it .Ya ,if this is what passes for morals and character to her minscule base of boobs then we a lucky she only represents a tiny minority.
I totally agree Douglas, but you know those without morals could care less about character.
