A picture is worth a thousand words, particularly in this case. Below is a word cloud of Palin’s answers in the Vice Presidential debate with Joe Biden. Words that were said more frequently are larger, also, relative to others, also. Very interesting, don’t you think? Reminds me of the “blizzard of words” comment made by Charlie Gibson during the first Palin interviews.

Who are Proposition 8's biggest supporters?Proposition 8 denies same-sex couples the right to marry in California. Who are their biggest donors and where do they stand on other issues? |
On Veterans day we honor the brave men and women who gave of themselves, and often their lives, in service to this country. Their courage and sacrifice should never be forgotten and that is why we pay tribute to them on this day.
But for our LGBT veterans, their service and sacrifice are seldom recognized in [...]
I will gladly join the chorus of voices praising Keith Olbermann’s special comment on Proposition 8 this evening. His moving comments, aimed squarely at those who took our rights away, was the most meaningful piece of television I have seen in a long time.
Please send a thank you to Keith at MSNBC.
According to an article published today in the San Francisco Chronicle, Mormons were invited to lend support to Proposition 8 by Archbishop George Niederauer of San Francisco months before the election.
“The June letter from Niederauer drew in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and proved to be a critical move in building a [...]
As an avid consumer of electronics, I try very hard to dispose of it properly. Of course that wasn’t always the case. Back in my PC building days I would get rid of defective components by simply tossing them in the trash, not giving a second thought to the toxic materials they contained or where [...]

“And the winner for Miss Congeniality is!” See this what happens you have not vetted a candidate properly. Just a blizzard of words that if you put it together does not mean anything. Nothing!

Where’s the word Maverick? maybe i am missing it but it should have been one of the largest.
Chad: any word cloud where words are omitted will be a blizzard of words that don’t mean anything. Try it with War and Peace, similar results I am sure.

Have you seen this article…. http://www.slate.com/id/2201158/

Yeah, Palin sure did blow the old Biden out of the water didn’t she? He was astounded and didn’t know what to do, so he just resorted to the old talking point lies. Poor guy.Embarrasing for him…

Yah Trader Rick. Sarah ‘you betcha’ Palin blew most of us with her nonsensical statements and views of the state of this country. She kept on smiling and looking cute as if this was some sort of Miss Personality contest. She has proven again that she is very much clueless and NEVER once offered any specific details.
On top of it, she was patronizing towards Joe Biden. But that’s okay right, because it came from a woman. And here’s my question to individuals like you. How can America be so tolerant of such mediocrity? Why??

Chad, the really funny thing is that the bottom of the Republican ticket, is much more qualified to be POTUS than the top of the democrat ticket. Study the resumes.

You betcha I did and you might want to do the same, tsk.
