Palinese

"It's very important when you consider even national-security issues with Russia. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right next to, they are right next to our state."

"What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at track records and see who's more apt to be talking about solutions and wishing for and hoping for solutions for some opportunity to change, and who's actually done it."

"Show me where I have ever said that there's absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any effect or no effect on climate change, I have not said that."

"Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that's with the energy independence that I've been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy, that I worked on as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, overseeing the oil and gas development in our state to produce more for the United States."

"It is for no more politics as usual and somebody's big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes, they've had opportunities to meet heads of state ... these last couple of weeks ... it has been overwhelming to me that confirmation of the message that Americans are getting sick and tired of that self-dealing and kind of that closed door, good old boy network that has been the Washington elite."

In Palinese, up to 5 distinctive thoughts are typically strung together and the english teachers be damned because...they instill a discipline, and discipline is not for freedom, and freedom to say that your words are juxtaposed and free from discipline and the liberty of that, the liberty of the american people, is to be able to communicate your preferred ideas by using a tent, a tent with a screen, and stuff the thoughts of relevance inside, and create a termination clause that reveals something of emotional regard regardless of the interior of the prior metaphor, for you know that you are not free unless you have the freedom to speak your own mind. Oh yeah, and Russia's right there.
