Turn of Phrase - Sarah Palin on Steve Jobs

"Steve Jobs was certainly not a singular man. He was not an - he was an island that touched so many people."

- From Sarah Palin yesterday when asked by Greta van Susteren of Fox News to comment on Steve Jobs' death. Sound too stupid to be true? Click the link and watch the nonsense for yourself. 

This is the kind of stupid shit that you hear from people when they try to say something smarter than they are capable of thinking, instead of expressing a simple honest opinion.

Although three years have passed, the fact that our nation almost elected her to the office of Vice President still brings me brooding feelings of pessimism and hopelessness about our future.
