Wow. I am truly impressed. How can so many words and metaphors be so void of meaning? Her best impersonators would have had to work really hard to come up with such a funny speech! :-D
And I do enjoy the irony of the quacking ducks in the background when her speech is about not wanting to be a lame duck… This lady still has a talent for unintentional comedy. Can anyone get her a job without any political influence that will just let her keep giving speeches for my entertainment, please?
