Look who’s talking

Palin went on CNN today and blabbered some nonsense about how it’s nice that Jeb! Bush can speak Spanish and “we have a large and wonderful Hispanic population building America” but:
I think we can send a message and say, ‘You want to be in America, A, you’d better be here legally or you’re out of here. B, when you’re here, let’s speak American. … Let’s speak English, and that’s a kind of a unifying aspect of the nation is the language that is understood by all.”
She must have been in a foreign country when she said that because she certainly wasn’t speaking any recognizable form of English or even “American” when she said this:
Palin also disagreed with a recent statement by South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who said last week that the Republican Party “often appears cold and unwelcoming to minorities.”
“I can’t think of any Republican that I know who would have that in their heart,” Palin said. … is the party that would wish to bring people in together, standing together, putting America first, even in terms of the culture, accepting people’s differences and the diverse views and everything else, because we have common sense driving our party,” she said.
Actually, she must have been on a foreign planet … that bears no relationship to any language known to humankind. Palin telling people how to talk is the funniest thing I’ve heard all week-end.
Latinos to Palin: “You go first”
