First, let this be said: When a Democrat comes along and makes the sort of gaffes Sarah Palin is now famous for, I will roast him/her with equal disdain. I promise.
That said, this woman is amazing. The below video is the open mic following Palin’s speech last week at California State University-Stanislaus. The transcript can be found here.
