The poetic prose of Sarah Palin and e.e. cummings!

The right winged network, Fox News reporter Sean Hannity in the exclusive interview with Sarah Palin, done on Sept. 21, 2008 is being labeled as “100 percent pure infomercial”. But it may need a bit more attention as it begins to defy human reality?!...After reading the transcript of this interview I just cannot believe my ears of what words are being employed by her as she manouvers through the questions.

Hmmmm.... Palin, e.e.cummings,, Palin, e.e.cummings...

...Palin's response: "Yes. That's a great question, and being an optimist I see our role in the world as one of being a force for good, and one of being the leader of the world when it comes to the values that -- it seems that just human kind embraces the values that -- encompass life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that's just -- not just in America, that is in our world."

(she got her first passport a few months ago...)

e.e. cummings' poem:

"next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country 'tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"

He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water"


If only e.e. had a line about "not blinking," the poem would have been frighteningly filled with foresight...
