she doesn't need the crutch, cause she has the wheelchair (a written copy of the speech right in front of her).

Exactly.

Remember that 'I'm quitting Alaska so I can go out into the world and make a shat load of money' speech? She had her speech in front of her, a teleprompter in front of her and she still sounded like an Alzheimer's patient, rambling all over the place.

I'm glad that she was better prepared and is back to using a speech writer. Like it or not the people she speaks before will equate her with the 'American ideal'.

This is always a no-no in public speaking; you don't point out flaws in something unless you have a possible solution or alternative. It's counter-productive to say "It's broken - I'm not going to look into ways to repair or replace it; I just wanted to acknowledge it was broken."

Says the supporter of the master in chief of "blaming" others

The article said two of them left - it didn't mention how many were in attendance


On a side note; if she still wanted to have some political influence I'm not understanding why she quit her job.
She is much more effective and free to speak her mind on any issue, unfettered by the restraints of public office.

Funny, that's not what the participants said. Of course, we should believe you.

The affliction known as PDS sure does funny things to the mind.

Next question please
Yes, handsomely. Reportedly around $300K.

I guess that qualifies her - after just one speech.
