Sarah Palin, answering a question about the government bailout of insurance broker AIG:

“Dissapointed that taxpayers are called upon to bailout another one,” she said. “Certainly AIG though with the construction bonds that they’re holding and with the insurance that they are holding very, very impactful to Americans so you know the shot that has been called by the Feds its understandable but very, very disappointing that taxpayers are called upon for another one.”

OK. the sentence sucks. but did the press leave out a comma or two?

I do love this line in the story:

Though she has been on the campaign trail for nearly three weeks, Palin has yet to hold a press conference, and this morning’s stop marked the first time she answered a question from the press on the fly, prompting concerned looks from staffers.

Ah, gotta love the handlers. Come on guys, lighten up! We’ve just been through eight years of presidential verbal stumbles and bumbles and syntaxical gymnastics, do you really think more would be that much of a shock?

Biden has it so much easier. It’s a surprize when he doesn’t put a foot or two in his mouth. Actually, the most shocking moment of the campaign came from Biden during the primaries. When asked a question in one of the debates, the compulsivly long winded Biden simply said…. “No”. Expecting a lecture, he audience actually laughed at Bidens abrupt answer.
