Stephen Colbert delivers his own speech in Palin-ese

Sarah Palin's speaking style is, well, unique. It's full of folksy buzzwords, oftentimes meandering and hard-to-understand, and occasionally nonsensical.

Call it Palin-glish, or Palin-ese.

We had some fun with her endorsement of Donald Trump on Wednesday morning, and by Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert did the same. On the Late Show, Colbert first thanked his lucky stars Palin was back on the scene - labeling her the (joke) "Material Girl" - and then delivering his own rendition of a Palin announcement speech, complete with the unique style mentioned above (this part starts at about the 4 minute mark).

And it worked.

This is what the American people are willing to accept as "leadership". A woman who cannot speak a coherent sentence and a four time bankrupted reality TV star preaching division. I've mentioned to several friends and family members my desire to leave the country, and you want to hear something really funny? The response I often get is, "What? Are you crazy?"

You're not alone. And, if leaving the USA is proof of madness, the number of nutzoids is dangerously increasing:

Unbelievable!

Welcome to the Bizzaro World! This is the reality of the US in the 21st Century. It's all theatre.

Reality is strictly taboo!

Played out daily to the gullible masses. BTW the expressions on Donald Trumps face was priceless, he looked like a puppet on a string.

No surprise there, isn't that what the whole of the US political system is about, puppets on a string.

Reminds me of this song from the Eurovision song contest in 1968, I give you Puppet on a String, thanks to Sandi Shaw.

Palin was president in an alternate future:

"President Palin defends bombing of Houston:
Texas to blame for secceeding from the Union!"

There's another funny headline in the image:
"Canadian aid shipments to U.S. slowing"

Haha, can't wait for the insanity. Trump, I DARE you make her VP.

We need a total expose on how messed up politics/USA has become.
