We’ve taken excerpts from Sarah Palin’s speeches and public statements and inserted them into various scenes from some of the works of the Bard, William Shakespeare. Enjoy!
GLOUCESTER : Sir, this young fellow’s mother could: whereupon
she grew round-wombed, and had, indeed, sir, a son
for her cradle ere she had a husband for her bed.
Do you smell a fault?
PALIN: I’m just one of many moms who’ll say an extra prayer each night
For our sons and daughters going into harm’s way.
GLOUCESTER : But I have, sir, a son by order of law, some year
elder than this, who yet is no dearer in my account:
though this knave came something saucily into the
world before he was sent for, yet was his mother
fair; there was good sport at his making, and the
whoreson must be acknowledged. Do you know this
noble gentleman, Edmund?
PALIN: Our family has the same ups and downs as any other,
The same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.
And children with special needs inspire a special love.
KENT: I must love you, and sue to know you better.
PALIN: Hold me accountable.
from Twelfth Night
MARIA: He’s coming, madam; but in very strange manner. He is, sure, posessed, madam.
PALIN: We’ve all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.
MARIA: No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your
ladyship were best to have some guard about you, if
he come; for, sure, the man is tainted in’s wits.
MALVOLIO: Sweet lady, ho, ho.
PALIN : That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.
I also drive myself to work.
MALVOLIO: Sad, lady! I could be sad: this does make some
obstruction in the blood, this cross-gartering; but
what of that? if it please the eye of one, it is
with me as the very true sonnet is, ‘Please one, and
please all.’
PALIN: And I thought we could muddle through without the
governor’s personal chef - although I’ve got to admit that sometimes
my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending -
by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
MALVOLIO : I think we do know the sweet Roman hand.
from Henry V
BEDFORD : [S]he is full of valour as of kindness;
Prince[ss]ly in both.
Enter the PALIN
WESTMORELAND : O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!
Palin: Pray for our military men and women
who are striving to do what is right.
Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders,
are sending soldiers out on a task that is from God.
That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for,
that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan!
