Well from the reports it appears she's gotten better at public speaking so kudos to her.

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."

On a side note; if she still wanted to have some political influence I'm not understanding why she quit her job.

(While, of course, they are at the same time excoriating Obama for "throwing America under the bus" in his most recent speech abroad.)

I think that about sums up the stupidity and hypocrisy of the right-wing brigade in this country.

Failed geography as well as political science didn't you? The speech was in Hong Kong, NOT China! They are two separate countries. China is the "big one" and Hong Kong is the "little one," to simplify it for you.

Hong Kong has been a territory of China since 1997.

Hong Kong is a territory of the People's Republic of China according to Wikipedia.

she could get a mail order LLD and partner up with Orly Taitz. It's a stunning and glaring hypocrisy: President Obama is called a Communist for no reason, but it's okay for Palin to go to a Communist country that would like nothing better than to see the U.S. go belly-up, make a speech that is critical of her "beloved" country, tuck her speaker's fee in a designer bag left over from the election and come home? The right wing would be burning Obama in effigy if he did that! What a bunch of fork-tongued and unethical buffoons.

You have to wonder how dense people must be to still not realize that for Sarah Palin it is and has always been only all about Sarah....and "show me the money."
