"I don't know if I should Buenos Aires or Bonjour, or... this is such a melting pot. This is so beautiful. I love this diversity. Yeah. There were a whole bunch of guys named Tony in the photo line, I know that." "We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" Sometimes she makes perfect sense. Sometimes she channels something deeper than sense. And sometimes she turns a phrase that is destined for immortality. Sarah Palin is not just the most controversial and significant non-office holder in America, she is a font of accidental wit and wisdom. Her truthy public statements--tweeted or spoken, planned or spontaneous--are endlessly entertaining to fans and foes alike. Jacob Weisberg, whose career as a curator of George W. Bushisms was made famous online, in books, in calendars, and even a DVD, is back with a new, and if possible, even more hilarious, source of malapropisms and mis-statements. This hilarious collection of political humor captures the moments that defined an era: Political Commentary: From "refudiate" to "death panels," discover the unique phrases and "roguey" rhetoric that captivated and confused the nation. Unforgettable Malapropisms: Wondering about the difference between a country and a continent? Or what newspapers she reads? All of ’em, any of ’em. From the Creator of Bushisms: Jacob Weisberg, the celebrated curator of presidential gaffes, brings his sharp wit and keen eye to a new and even more bewildering subject. For Fans and Foes Alike: Whether you see her as a populist hero or a political punchline, these quotes offer an endlessly entertaining look at a unique moment in modern politics.
