"And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature's finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In the winter time it's the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn't it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs? And then in the summertime such extreme summertime about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than just some months ago, than just some months from now, with fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here, Mother Nature wins. It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future. That is what we get to see every day. Now what the rest of America gets to see along with us is in this last frontier there is hope and opportunity and there is country pride."I went north to the shoes through the boundary of lettuce and we soared on eagles feet through the sunlit sunlight until God's rain of freedom fell upon the roads and the people and the snails and the flags and the caribou and the paper towels.
—Sarah Palin in her farewell address
This is a totally random interjection of military references, 150-degree weather forecasts, descriptions of "merciless" rivers -- just outstanding oratory.
Merciless rivers?
Seriously? Did she just accidentally erase a bunch of words that used to be in the speech?
