We all know that people who make speeches make mistakes. Some actually make mistakes that are so notable the mistakes are labeled gaffes.
Sarah Palin continues to ramble across the nation dropping gaffe bombs on just about each stage that she adorns.
Does the latest version of mental ineptitude and lack of preparation really surprise anyone? (video below).
Palin opens the speech with snarky remarks about people who rummaged through a dumpster for information related to planning for the upcoming visit. Olbermann briefly addresses his thoughts that the speech was laced with inaccurate platitudes. I find Palin's remarks related to Ronald Reagan's undergraduate degree most in-line with what I have grown to expect from the former governor or Alaska.

OK, so after viewing the segment, has Palin progressed much at all since sitting with Charles Gibson and Katie Courac?
The gaffe should be properly labeled as a mistake by her speech writer (I trust she has a speech writer). The point in all of this is she has not progressed to a point where one can considered anything that oozes from her mouth as credible.
As a long-time critic of Palin, I hold fast to my beliefs that she is shrouded in a dark cloud that will always result in what we might call 'bad luck'. I have another characterization but I will leave it at perpetual bad luck.
Is it possible to get a little help on how she may be better characterized?
