A familiar Strategy

You've probably already seen Palin answer Couric's question about the bailout. Here it is below in case you missed it.



Fareed Zakaria summed up her response pretty well, "This is nonsense—a vapid emptying out of every catchphrase about economics that came into her head" (Newsweek).

I have to say, when I saw it I had a strange feeling of Deja Vu. I'd seen this kind of nonsensical answer in a video before. Was it perhaps another clip from the same interview I was thinking of? No, that wasn't really it. It wasn't just the nonsense that was familiar, it was the strategy - the "vapid emptying out of every catchphrase" strategy - that reminded me of something else.

Where I had I seen it before? I couldn't put a finger on it. But then, this morning, as I drank a cup of coffee, it hit me.

Ms. South Carolina!
