Sarah Palin plagiarizes herself

[hfojvt]

from the excerpts:

"GIBSON: But you turned against it after Congress had basically pulled the plug on it; after it became apparent that the state was going to have to pay for it, not the Congress; and after it became a national embarrassment to the state of Alaska. So do you want to revise and extend your remarks.

PALIN: It has always been an embarrassment that abuse of the ear form -- earmark process has been accepted in Congress. And that's what John McCain has fought. And that's what I joined him in fighting. It's been an embarrassment, not just Alaska's projects. But McCain gives example after example after example. I mean, every state has their embarrassment."

later, to a similar question


"GIBSON: But it's now pretty clearly documented you supported that bridge before you opposed it. You turned against it after Congress had basically pulled the plug on it; So do you want to revise and extend your remarks?

PALIN: It has always been an embarrassment that abuse of the ear form -- earmark process has been accepted in Congress. And that's what John McCain has fought. And that's what I joined him in fighting. It's been an embarrassment, not just Alaska's projects. But McCain gives example after example after example. And, as I've said over and over, if Alaska wants that bridge, $300 million, $400 million dollars, over to that island with an airport, we'll find a way to build it ourselves. The rest of the country doesn't have to build that for us."


Maybe it's just the way they edited the excerpts, but it strikes me how she gives almost exactly the same answer to the rephrased question, right down to the same mistake "the ear form -- earmark process". Reminds me of W. Bush, a person who has been prepped with certain talking points that he repeats throughout a press conference. Well prepared, perhaps, but not somebody who really understands the subject.
