BINGO! AND they’re still PO’d that her family wasn’t completely bankrupted financially by all the lies and innuendo. Instead she successfully bounced back...very nicely, and still has better ideas than the opposition!

At first, I thought SALT 2012 was a follow-on to SALT I and SALT II.

GORE: A moose bit my sister.

PALIN: I bit the moose, after shooting it, dressing it out, and grilling it to medium rare. It was good!

GORE: (completely shocked by what he just heard is totally speechless, even for the windbag that he is).

PALIN: Gore, you are such a sissy, get over it.

Sarah has to feed her family. I am sure there is a good speaking fee there...
