In what must have been a conversation lasting about 40 or 45 minutes, she uses “you know” no less than 138 times. Especially impressive are two occasions where she uses the words five different times in one sentence - or what would be a sentence, if it were not, in both cases, a chain of clauses with no grammatical conclusion....
And while it is true that quite a few Senators, past and present, have been as inarticulate as Ms. Kennedy, very few among them have used what facility of speech they had to assert, as Ms Kennedy more or less does in this interview, that they should be in the United States Senate, well, because they want to be there, whether or not there are more qualified candidates for the job.

Palin might speak in disjointed sentence and use verbiage that is not DC speak, but she NEVER has conducted an interview like this.
Even the infamous Gibson/Couric ones, when you look at the transcript, you come away with a totally different perspective.
Plus, Gibson, as noted by Krauthammer didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was and Couric, listen she started in South Florida, and I am a Miami native, let me not get into the means she rose from one day to the next as Pentagon reporter...
Ask Roger Stone if you don't belived my take on her.
Thanks, Carlos. I admire Gov. Palin's potential as a party leader and thought she would've done better if the McCain folks had let her get used to big-league pitching by doing as many media events as possible. In this case, my point is that Miss Kennedy's getting kid gloves for doing no better (and in your estimation, even worse).
Hey, Carlos: You know what? That headline wasn't fair. Fixed it, for the sake of you and my other six readers! Happy New Year.
