Conan, that funny guy, was a bit confused by Palin's farewell speech.  He wasn't alone.  
However, another funny guy, William Shatner, helps us out.  Just read the speech, slowly, to the sound of bongos and it will all make sense. 
Here's the transcript of the whole blowhard speech just in case you fell asleep.
And what better person than Cap't Kirk to translate alien?
UPDATE:  NBC removed all the YouTube Shatner embedded links...so here is the URL linky.

This is so funny. Just my luck to be telling a story about Alaska...but in Jan., 1972 she had not even had her 8th birthday. I never shot a moose. I never ran for VP.
I think the bobble heads on punditry ...
You hear them mumble idiocy perpetually ...
What is impotent to sustain a sane human race?
What the inhale must be wacko chemical tobacco?
What they all be puffing back stage is illegal aliens!
Alien cigars from war-torn, and ravaged Ahghanistan.
etc.,
read.
insanity.
ex-spurts.
big-drips.
slobbers,
ugh
all creeps
o pathetic
o wastrels
despicable
Shatner's deadpan interpretation is incredible!
That's great! That actually makes at least that part of the speech sound cool. Maybe it's her delivery that's the problem??

BTW, I've seen the Shat in person and he's really that short.
O Lulu! I saw this and wondered the same exact thing. It's just hilarious. Yes Buffy, it's just so funny. And I looked at your Alaska post and did think of Palin, (but it was also a great post). Curses!

Ex-spurts indeed.
I understood this; I'm very afraid.
Buffy - your AK is so much more entertaining than Palin's.

Arthur - that was beauteous. I see a little Palin whacked upside the head in there.

Walter - wasn't it? perfect. I love that guy.

Silkstone - so I guess James Spader must be short too? I never knew that. Yeah, it does make it almost sound cool, for a beatnik poem - but sawdust for a speech.

latethink - it was something, yes?

MM - oh oh. scary! you might need another brain fart.
JK - nope. wasn't just you. major garbldygook throughout the whole speech. click on the link for the transcript of the whole thing. second thought, don't do it. guaranteed headache.
Who knew that bongos could make such a difference!
steve - I bet they would have helped with her Katie Couric interview.
It sure works better as a poem than a speech!

I was watching the Daily Show earlier this evening and they had that same Palin clip playing.

It was no more coherent the second time around! North to the future....WTF???

But it was hilarious. Rated.
Steve.... it sounds to me like she had a few bong hits first.

Why can't Republicans speak grammatically?
hi dear i like it http://www.internetad.biz
Shatner is the Olivier of schlock.
As God is my witness, I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I see this.

But thanks for posting it! :-D
Well, Craptastic. NBC removed the embedded links to all of the Shatner vids. I provided a link above to the video directly.

Very sorry. Don't forget to click the link to Palin's speech so you can read that part first. Makes it all the more interesting.
I think Palin heard the term "stream of consciousness" in one of the classes she took at one of her four colleges.

As seems to be typical of her, though, she didn't get a full understanding of it.

She didn't learn that it's a literary tool and that it works when used in books like The Sound and the Fury. It doesn't work in speeches.

Speaking of the literary and Palin, William Shakespeare wrote something that applies to her.

When Palin speaks, it is "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Ya Know.....the woman makes good sense to me. Having been a life long Democrat in recent weeks I have been contemplating....WHY? I think the majority of the Party is on DRUGS ...except for the Southern "Blue Dogs"...Thank GOD for them. Sarah Palin demonstrates more sense than Pelosi and all of the Liberal Democrats and Obama combined. I am disgusted at the horrific tactics of so man hate filled Democrats who have repeatedly attacked this woman and her family and have stooped to the lowest levels to destroy her. I am disgusted with my Party....the Democratic Party. I am changing my voter registration to Independent and will be voting against any all all Democrats in 2010. OH....my family will do the same and all of my friends are also repulsed and disgusted. The ONLY integrity that remains in the Democratic party is with the "Blue Dogs" ...Southern Democrats. Thank GOD for their sanity !
I thought all the brainless idiots, lived here in the South. At least here in Florida ( the state shaped like a dick ) we have a reason. We are run by Republican nincumpoops.
Palin, is a brainless twit! How anyone can support her, is beyond reason.
